WWE legend Paul Heyman took a brutal shot at Cody Rhodes by involving his wife, Brandi Rhodes, during their promo segment on the latest episode of RAW.
The American Nightmare appeared on the red brand this week, hoping to officially kickstart his Road to WrestleMania. The Royal Rumble winner will challenge Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship at WrestleMania 39.
He was looking forward to landing the first blow in the world title feud. However, Roman Reigns' Special Counsel, Paul Heyman, interfered with the challenger's plans.
The 57-year-old legend commented that Cody Rhodes would have to be on the road for most nights if he becomes the champion. Heyman said Roman Reigns is a happily married man and wouldn't keep Cody's wife Brandi Rhodes "warm on cold nights."
He added that, unlike The Tribal Chief, he is not a happily married man and insinuated that he would take up the aforementioned task.
"I know what you are thinking. I am about to say something vile and vulgar like, 'Oh, don't worry, Cody. On a cold winter night, Roman Reigns will keep your wife warm.' I would never say something like that. Roman Reigns is a happily married man, but I am not. And I assure you, Cody Rhodes, that's when you are going to find out that your WrestleMania dreams will become your own personal nightmare," said Heyman.
