To bounce off this and @Rayzah’s question, The Cody feud formula feels old, he feels disconnected from mostly everybody else on the roster (especially the Elite), he and Brandi come across as completely tone deaf and out of touch, and his character hasn’t evolved or changed much in the last few years.
I like Cody as a performer and there was a time in the beginning of AEW where I thought he was putting out the best work of anybody in the company, but it’s time for him to do something different. Ultimately it’s time for him to go heel, the people aren’t cheering him like that anymore.
