Funny how 10 years ago the same backlash happened with Danielson. :bryan:
That was a bit different. I was pretty clear that WWE just didn’t see Bryan as that dude. We as fans knew he was talented enough to carry the ball, but WWE brass had obviously made up their minds that he had hit his ceiling and wasn’t much more than that.


Cody circumstances aren’t that. They’re very clearly invested in him completely to the point where he’s about to headline back to back manias after back to back rumble wins, and has lost like 2 matches in 3 years. They’ve even telegraphed his future title win by basing the entire emphasis of his WWE existence around that championship


This is mainly just a case of fans no longer wanting to wait, and wanting what they want right now. Like immediately…. With Bryan, there was no wait. We genuinely had no idea if what we wanted was even possible or would ever happen. With Cody, we know it’s coming. We just want it tomorrow. Not later. Lol

And Cody going along with it would be funny since him refusing to turn Heel(when the crowd wanted him to badly do it) played a role in him leaving AEW.
He has said that he already turned heel and was getting the reactions he wanted (but admitted he was too meta with it) and that had nothing to do with him leaving AEW

He was full of shyt on that. He was a babyface getting booed. Was even getting booed in daily's place.
Getting booed against malakai black when black was the heel.
Yo this nikka was getting booed when Pac tagged him in the match when they went against HoB

:mjlol:

Doesn’t matter the difference. Backlash is backlash no matter what.
