Cody Rhodes vs Finn Balor, Rhea Chooses Between The EST or Charlotte, and 3 Elimination Chamber Qualifying Matches: Raw 1/30/23 8E/7C USA

One observation from tonight: That smark audience that used to invade shows, is no longer there and hasnt been for awhile now.

You didnt see any chants for Sami during Cody's promo. I dont think they're gonna have this dillema where the fans are gonna rebel about the Mania main event now. Whether they've chosen to finally stop watching and just moved to AEW, it aint there like before. Sure a guy can absolutley get over with the audience that wasnt planned (and I do think once Triple H took over the plan was to use Sami more though) but you're not gonna get people rejecting if they stay off course

I think the plan has always been get more heat on Roman through Sami and then use that to go against Cody while he and KO go against the Usos and win that.

Now do I think Cody is finally going to be the one to beat Roman? I dont know. I dont think Vince would have wanted that for a number of reasons (the guy who got big on the outside beating their homegrown star. Building Roman like Brock is usually for someone handpicked to beat him that they are grooming as the next guy) But Triple H dont seem to care and its telling how much of that is from still having some gamemanship about the other company to make their guy the face.

2 CrossRhodes + a Diaster Kick = 1 F5

one of the coolest moves to this day is when Dustin Rhodes drops to his back and slaps his opponent .... that's some OG wrestling shyt.

Rewatching the Cody promo on the west coast feed. Loud YOU DESERVE IT chants.

I was told he would get drowned out with Sami Zayn chants.

Loud ROMAN SUCKS chants.

Dominik saying he was supposed to win the men‘s rumble match.

Cody does it as well but it's not as smooth as when Dustin does it.

I just realized Dolph missed the rumble,, and honestly ..

I think he had the most consecutive RR too. Like 14 in a row

 

[R=G]

Where is this line of thinking that fans are gonna go against Cody coming from? What did he do wrong?
