Cody Rhodes Compares Paul Heyman To Legendary Director

If The Bloodline saga is Cinema, then Paul Heyman is the Martin Scorsese behind it.

The Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes recently spoke to Watch Fox 57 News to promote the October 18 SmackDown from Columbia. He talked about things such as what his daughter thinks about his work , finding a work-life balance, and more.

While talking about his involvement in the Bloodline story, Cody mentioned how it has done wonders for WWE’s business. He explained that he only has a set role in the whole thing while the real architect behind it all is Paul Heyman:

“I’m always of the thought that my point in the story was just to be the guy who beats them. I know that sounds really arrogant. But I thought maybe that’s just what I do. With Solo Sikoa who will be there tonight, of course Roman Reigns will be there tonight.

But I’d say from kind of the more behind-the-curtain aspect that when all is said and done and people look at how unbelievable that story has been over the years. What it’s done for WWE and WWE’s business, Mr. Paul Heyman should probably be considered kind of the Martin Scorsese behind it all.

He’s really a fascinating unique individual and has a sense of what the audience may want and they don’t even know they want it. Just super genius.”

The former ECW owner has not been seen on WWE programming since the June 28 SmackDown. He was kicked out of the Bloodline by Solo Sikoa after Heyman refused to acknowledge him as the Tribal Chief.

As the Bloodline story has picked up steam again with Roman Reigns’ return recently, however, one has to imagine that the wise man’s comeback will not be long behind.
