That was the first thing that entered my mind haha. Thankfully, he and Sandow are supposed to be beating Zack & Santino on Monday, although I wouldn't be surprised if they bump it to Smackdown and have Ryback dismantle Rhodes on Raw as a way to send a message.

Thankfully, can't see WWE fucking over Rhodes (and Sandow) just because of this

Punk is probably the best wrestler in the business, Cena's not as bad as people think, but John Cena is by far the biggest star out of the two. It's safe to say that Cena is the bigger draw. I give Punk all the credit in the world for his work, he really is outstanding, however John Cena is still number one.

I honestly doubt Vince cares too much what Rhodes says to some Egyptian affiliate in trying to hype a series of house shows in Cairo. At this point, it's really in WWE's best interest to have wrestlers talk up guys who aren't Cena, just to give the impression, if nothing else, that this product actually has more flavors of ice cream than vanilla to choose from.

Re: Cody Rhodes Puts over CM Punk as the Best in the biz!
Well it's the truth and it's becoming increasingly more difficult for people to argue. The guy is tops face or heel and can make anything they give him work.
The whole Cena promo on him changing characters and personas so much, pre Night of Champions was incredibly annoying to me, because the point they scripted Cena to make was so off the mark.
Because in reality, Punk changing gimmicks was not a sign of weakness but rather his talent. He was great as the straight edge face in the beginning, great as the heel leader of straight edge society, great as the best in the world face, and is now great as the best in the world Paul Heyman guy, heel. That's not a sign of weakness on his part when he can make everything and anything they give him work.
Not all guys can be good faces and good heels. Some are 1 or the other. He can do both. He is awesome, and deserving of the admiration from his peers.
