    Kinda crazy how nobody is talking about what Cody talked about here with his run in AEW with the crowd WANTING him to heel turn so his meta way of being a heel was to not give them that satisfaction. His character really was like Homelander, a heel who pretends to be a face, it's fascinating.

    Roman 𝘵𝘰𝘰𝘬 Cody's full circle moment and the finish to his story. The divide is now as clear as day, and the demand for Cody to win is now stronger than ever.
    The heat on Roman for simply being the one who won even when it felt like he shouldn't have will probably skyrocket as much as when he beat the Undertaker.

Good on him for leaving...that normally ends badly but he has come back better. Cody Rhodes is defn the future...so well spoken, articulate, genuine. With Reigns there is feigned cynicism, Cena and Rock have an artificial bravado, this guy is the real deal. This guy can evolve into something great for the buisness.

    Thankfully now Cody is on top of the game where he belongs. A Top Shelf talent. His current headliner status is long overdue.

    I love watching Cody’s interviews as much as I love watching Heyman’s interviews.
    I don’t really like watching wrestling interviews.
