Cody's real story is to finish what he started in AEW. While he's a try hard babyface in WWE, his unintentional heel run and his meta character in AEW was gold. It still has legs if he went back to AEWHe's presented as a bigger deal than his brand's World Heavyweight Champion. That is really what changed. It's kind of like how the WWE made it a point to shoehorn Roman Reigns into the top spot only for it to actually stick when they pivoted away from forcing the issue. WWE makes it a point to portray Cody Rhodes as the biggest deal on his show.
But yeah, it's just presentation.
That motherfukker has never opened a Jift in his life!!!The dude who created the format says it's pronounced "jiff"
Where is the TSC Reporter to ask her what that thang smell like
They turned dude into a boyscout Superman like character personality wise… I can’t picture Cody demanding any type of stipulation… the most I can see him doing that can involve Rock is that Cody gonna do this he’s gonna finish the story talk for a few more months and probably say what everyone else says “I had you beat if it wasn’t for… but thanks to Nick Aldis, I’ve got assurance that that won’t be the case because”…. Insert Rock as guest referee… says Roman has an incredible reign but has been misrepresenting the family or some shytIf Cody has any sense he'll demand it be in a cage or cell for the rematch
