Cody Rhodes has had a long history with the pro wrestling manager Paul Heyman. In a recent promo on WWE after his return in the Royal Rumble 2023, the two had a serious confrontation. Rhodes talked about how Heyman has helped his family in the darkest of times. When the Rhodes household was suffering from the ills of economic crisis, Heyman was their guardian angel. The manager was strong with his words and ended up getting Dusty Rhodes to sign a contract that paid him handsomely and ended his family’s misery. In the confrontation, both Rhodes and Heyman got emotional over this reminiscence. However, Heyman was there with some other intentions altogether.
After the emotional moment, Heyman got to the point. Since he was there to congratulate Rhodes for his Royal Rumble victory on behalf of his client, Roman Reigns, his intentions weren’t that pure. He ended up hurting Rhodes by confessing that his father had told him how he was not proud to have Cody, and that Reigns was the son he always wanted.

The feud will end in a mouth-watering WrestleMania clash this year. However, Cody Rhodes has also played his part in debunking the words that Heyman put forward all by himself.
Cody Rhodes explains his father’s words
After what Paul Heyman had said about Dusty Rhodes, all the fans and WWE superstars were shocked to the core. Everybody loved The American Dream for every reason and the manager’s words just felt like the opposite of him. To avoid any misconception, the Royal Rumble champion took it upon himself to clear the air. ‘Stardust’ told The Post, “I want you to hear the story because the story’s gonna be in my dad’s [A&E] documentary.” Through this, he gave all his fans a heads-up regarding what was to come.

“I don’t know how much of it’s in there. I need you to know from his kid’s perspective, [that] you can be the worst human being on earth, you’re not to me because it was life-changing for us,” said Rhodes while quoting his father. He explained that what Heyman said about his father was absolutely not true. He is confident that the words used do not belong to Dusty Rhodes. In fact, he tells how the upcoming documentary about Dusty Rhodes will include this specific scene for clarification.
