Cody Rhodes is currently in the middle of a fun feud with Seth Rollins on Raw.

He's the most over babyface on the show, and arguably the most over guy in the whole company too (along with RKBro).

He'll be facing Rollins in a rematch tomorrow night at Wrestlemania Backlash

 

Oooh, might tune in and catch the promo package to catch up.

 

Things will get more interesting when he's opposing Roman for a big Title program as Seth is just a stepping stone to keep him occupied.

 

Yeah I'm sure it will, just literally haven't heard shit about him online since his first TV.

I actually really liked Cody, but before he went back to WWE there was a constant weekly thread of people either praising him or bitching about him and then everything just went kind of dark in terms of reactions -- be they good or bad.

 

Stuck in a feud with Seth Rollins who drags everyone he works with down to his level so some of the shine id off Cody already. Still has boat loads of potential, just needs to move on past this feud and work a story with someone that matters.

 

Except for the fact that Seth Rollins has consistently been elevating multiple guys that he's worked with over the past year.

This feud is currently (one of) the best highlight(s) on Raw because of Cody Rhodes AND Seth Rollins. They're 2 of the more over acts on Raw too.

I suppose that you'll conveniently overlook Rollins/Cody being 1 of the matches that stoled the show at Wrestlemania 38 here too.

Edit:

Rollins is honestly one of the several guys on Raw who matter too.

 

He’s sinking viewership with Seth Rollins

 

He's the biggest babyface in pro wrestling right now.

 

Nope, thats CM Punk.

 

He definitely feels like their biggest baby face and they’re pushing him as such. The Broken Skulls Session was one of my favorite ones.

his match with Seth is just about the only thing im Looking forward to on the PPV tomorrow.

 

He's currently feuding with Seth and is getting one of the biggest pops in the company, Cody is doing just fine right now and there's no need to rush anything.

 

Not saying they should rush it but I literally just hadn't heard a word about this guy in weeks and I search by new.

 

Talk died down because after the new car excitement wore off everyone realized he’s the same Cody Rhodes that was never worth getting excited over except with a worse tattoo

 

You couldn't be further from the truth, most people who were excited to have him debut are busy enjoying him. What is there to say after his debut? He's not been around long enough to make statements on his performance or impact, the guy is clearly over every time he in on the TV the crowd are chanting his name, and what more is there to say other than that? Many people are right here telling you that he's been great since his return, what about that says "everyone realised blah blah blah"?

 

How has he gone from the most hated man in wrestling to the biggest face in wrestling doing the same schtick?

 

Because the WWE audience is full of families and casuals who like the suits and the pyro and all the extra that comes with Cody. They aren't the AEW hardcores who want their wrestlers to all come out in black tights and do a bunch of flips and only care about wrestling and never having any other goals.

 

The wwe fans who love to comment on AEW also hated on his AEW run.

 

The wwe fans who love to comment on AEW also hated on his AEW run.

Then you learn the outraged fan on the internet is a vast minority.

 

He's needs to beat Rollins and get in the title picture quick.

 

This is WWE, guarantee they will 50/50 him with Rollins.

 

What happened? Time happened. The Wrestling World moves on. The speculation and the return itself were always going to big deals and then everything after that will feel like a step down. That was obvious.

I mean was CM Punk as a big a deal a month after making his big return last year when he was working with Matt Sydal on Rampage? Of course not.

 

Cody made a foolish decision to come back and putting Seth Rollins there to fued with him is a waste of Seth's time!

Seth should be holding at least a mid card belt rn or something! Better than the worthless jobbers they been putting these belts on!

Maybe have Cody challenge Seth for it if they wanted to do Cody vs Seth! Its better than pushing jobbers!

Oh and of course Seth would go over because Cody is a jobber himself 😂

 

His match with Seth at WM was great imo. After that, it was just back to crybaby promo time and riding off his dad’s coattails. It’s nothing we haven’t seen him do before.

A lot of people in this forum talked shit about him for a long time and then people suddenly got excited when he came back lol

 

When WWE tries to tell a story, they make sure everyone is along with it and understands what’s going on. Sure, people that’ve followed him in the past 6 years know his story, but there’s a huge section of fans that don’t and haven’t had that exposure to him. So on this stage, as this version of himself it’s brand new to so much of the audience with the biggest possible payoff on the horizon, presumably.

Agreed about that match at Mania. Looking forward to tonight.

 

The buzz has died down a little but that's expected, i think people are gonna get excited about Cody again when he enters the world title picture.

He has to be one of the biggest candidates to win MITB.

 

It's kind of a weird dynamic they have going right now.

You have Cody trying to be a serious character but he's feuding with one of the biggest clown characters on the show.

Personally I'm not into seeing Rollins do anything outside of the ring. Dudes character is awful.

 

Cody need to feud with Edge/Priest,Owens,Miz and Omos before even thinking about the GOAT Roman Reigns.

Wwe is a numbers company. RKbro is the second biggest merchandise sellers behind Roman Reigns. Therefore, technically RKbro are the biggest babyfaces.

 

Cody is doing fine. His feud with Rollins has been underwhelming as all hell, but once he faces off with Roman things should pick up for him. He's obviously their #1 guy right now after Roman so Cody is making out well. He's got multi-month feuds with Edge, McIntyre, & Orton all there for him.

 

They should give Cody the strap quick, like they should've done to Bryan in AEW, but they missed the window. Bryan, Punk, and Cole could've been the new nWo, but they fucked it up.

 

The initial buzz wore off already. He'll get fed to Roman eventually and then get lost in the shuffle

 

Seems like you just want that to happen.


Hint: It's not.

 

I’m sure Cody will be champ and have a good career

but they have not done enough to get non-wwe watching Cody fans to tune in

2 promos and 1 match in and I knew I was done.

getting fans to move over is a hard prospect - same with AEW and Danielson / Punk

you have to do something astronomical with them from day 1 it seems - cause you’ll get an initial bump and then it wears off

 

Lol.
Every one on here sucking Cody's dick now he's back in WWE.
