Roman Reigns has been walking down the path of greatness for the last three years. He will likely retain his Undisputed titles at WrestleMania 39. However, the possibility of Cody Rhodes emerging victorious cannot be ruled out. History has proven time and time again that Paul Heyman could change sides at any time.

Although Heyman is the Special Counsel for Roman Reigns, it won’t be a matter of time before he betrays The Tribal Chief. The WWE Universe saw The Wise Man having a proclivity toward Cody Rhodes. Moreover, Heyman had a good relationship with Rhodes’ father in the past. As a result, the fans saw traces of predilection during their promo segments.

Therefore, Paul Heyman could play a key role in the main event match at WrestleMania 39. It will be interesting to see whether Heyman’s loyalty lies with Roman Reigns or if he finally betrays The Tribal Chief at WrestleMania 39.
