Cody Rhodes ain’t ready yet

[Mr. Jack Napier]

Of all the forced WrestleMania main event push... Cody is actually enjoyable and kind of want to slow burn it till SummerSlam.

Nah, this Cody push ass. I don’t take him seriously.

I feel like the only reason he's getting this mega push is a "f*ck you" to AEW.

 

[Remy LeBreh]

I get personal preference but OP is going to ignore all the ratings, ticket sales, and crowd reactions showing that Cody is clearly massively over right now

This. Especially with it being in LA and Rock's schedule not being filled with filming movies or shows.

Trip H kept saying Rock was extremely busy. I'm like, he ain't that busy.

Show is in LA. He can show up once a week and then on the show itself.

Roman should have lost at clash of the castle. It’s WWEs fault for super booking Roman into a corner. Cody is definitely the right choice to take the belts off him.

Clash was probably the 2nd best ppv last year. ut I don't think it was time for Roman to lose.

Cody looked like he's hitting a roid cycle right now, LOL, so maybe by SummerSlam he will take the belt from Roman.

I feel like the best method is to have Roman get beat for 1 title and then the other. Booking yourself into a corner is having the next guy (Cody) win both belts.

Hard enough time finding someone to beat Roman, now you gotta find someone else to beat the guy (Cody) who beat the previously unbeatable guy(Roman)

And let's be real: Jimmy and Jey are drunks and are lucky to be still in WWE. No way in hell would they trust Jey to be the face of the company with his tendency to drink and drive.

When has jey ever got in trouble for drinking?

 

[Microfracture]

Cody is definitely ready but they could easily stretch this to SummerSlam. Tribal Chief and Bloodline story is the best they've had in years so why end it in a predictable way at Mania.

 

[JQ Legend]

That jabroni Warhorse almost took Cody to the 20 minute time limit for the TNT Championship

Who that?

I don't disagree, both Sami and Jey have better story but WWE is only considering Rhodes

They kinda cooled Jey off when they rushed him turning on Sami recently. Unless they try to play that off as a big ass swerve him and Sami and to some extent Jimmy was in on all along, him siding with Rome especially so soon kinda defeats the purpose

It’s ONLY on the internet bruh. Reality is quite different.

Every week that man is getting cheered and his name is being chanted. It’s not getting piped in either. Like you can CLEARLY see it with your own eyes and ears

I’m not really a big Cody fan like that..but the WWE fans love that man. When I see him he has THE LOOK. He really is the personification of a babyface.

For some of y’all to not see it or just choose NOT to see it is wild to me

This isn’t AEW anymore..his character didn’t fit there because he was a glitch in their system. He fits PERFECTION within the WWE formula..

If they don’t have him beat Roman at WM and have us wait till Summerslam I’m gonna be legit annoyed. They can’t prologue this any longer..

Roman HAS to lose at this WM..

Nah they can easily push this out till The Slam

Or have Rome drop the WWE title at Mania. At some point they gone have to break up the titles anyway so why not start now? That way Rome can get to 1000 days as champ AND Cody get his Mania moment (since the WWE title is the one he wants anyway) AND there’s a chance Jey or possibly Sami get their redemption with a world title win.

That would be the best way to go about this.

Like a lot of y’all already said tho, they fukked up by combining the belts in the first place

No clue why they gave Roman all the world titles, the Usos all the tag titles and Solo no titles

They shoulda went all in and had Solo take either the IC from Rico or just hold the NXT NA title hostage on the main roster. Really shoulda gave him the NXT title but I figured they wanted Bron to get a year long reign.

 

[HipHopStan]

who else beats him?

There’s always Seth, Jey, or Bobby.

 

[boriquaking]

There’s always Seth, Jey, or Bobby.

Again, Jey isn’t even going to sniff a world title.

And he’s beaten both Seth and Bobby twice (once for each belt).

Again, he squashed everyone. That’s the fault of the bookers, such a big roster, this shouldn’t be the predicament

He lost to Seth last year by DQ and I don’t remember him beating let alone squashing Bobby, when was this? Bobby been on Raw this whole time and Rome has not had a match on Raw since prolly 2018 or some shyt

And even if that is true he beat Bobby, he still has 0 victories over Seth in title matches

There's a couple things going on right now at the same time. He's still a sore spot for a lot of AEW fans (look at the pirated stream reactions) that still hold hope of him not being a success in WWE and there's a super small & vocal WWE/internet crowd that will push back when they feel the machine's force feeding

That's why they keep talking about Sami hijacking the crowd or Jey. Both are great chapters in the huge ass story, the fans don't care about either one like they do Cody and that's simple to see. If this wasn't a historical run and just a standard title reign, Roman would've already dropped to Cody and every business metric would've called for him to do it.

I don't even know where this SS talk is coming from other than just to see Cody eat an L but it's not happening

When did Bobby and roman face off 1v1 when he became the tribal chief?

The SS talk comes from the fact Rome so close to 1000 days as Universal champ.

I don’t even think most care if he drop the WWE title to Cody at Mania, we just wanna see him get 1000 days as champ then drop it to Jey or maybe even Sami. If they did it that way, everyone gets what they want.
