Anyone else noticing it?
There was a stretch post Rey feud/Pre IC title where he was drifting, but he shows up on RAW every week it seems, and in Smackdown he's been in main events and opened the show. He's kind of feuding with Orton on the side, he's one of the people thats vocally anti-HHH, he brings a new/old IC title, and he's winning some matches.
Its a bit more of a real push instead of BAM! MITB! Cash in.

Cody Rhodes is one of the few wrestlers they're handling right. They're doing work with him and he looks to be well on his way to the top.

I'm diggin it. I wavered on Rhodes slightly since Wrestlemania, in particular I thought the paper bag schtick was terrible, but lately he's been on fire again. He's so solid in the ring, his match with Sheamus was top notch because despite his lack of size, he wrestles a very convincing, hard hitting style and can match up with larger opponents. I can see him being World Champ late next year, maybe 2013. Maybe before, but I like the slow build, as long as he wins within the next couple of years he'll be fine.

Yeah. Plus the WWE has actually made the Intercontinental title more important than it's been in years.

My loyalty has never faltered for UnDashing Cody Rhodes. Future World Champion right there.

Ever since his program with Mysterio they've done a great job with him.
His promos have been killer too...

He'll struggle to look convincing against bigger guys but remembering what Triple H said about the IC title on his dvd makes me think he has earmarked that role for Cody.

He's been booked brilliantly, even getting blooded and beaten by Orton did good for his career since he now has a reason to hate the COO.

I've liked Cody since before he was teaming with Bobcore (no, I'm not kidding, he likes Zelda, he was cool in my book.) so seeing where his character has evolved to (Meaning he's gone from being the son of Dusty Rhodes to being one of the very few guys interesting enough to keep me watching) is incredible. Cody is going to be a World Champion by the end of 2012.

IMO it's kind of a waste.
I mean, isn't he going to be fired next week?

Cody Rhodes is one of the few wrestlers they're handling right. They're doing work with him and he looks to be well on his way to the top. I think they're handling a good amount of people right lately. Rhodes, Sheamus, Henry, Orton (jobbing clean twice was a much needed show of vulnerability), Bourne, Kingston, Miz, Truth, Ziggler. Sure, some could be higher on the card, but they're all being utilized well and seem in a groove lately.

Yea, I won't understand how people keep knocking WWE for not making new stars when they are pretty obviously in the middle of a youth movement and have about as much fresh talent as they've had in a long time.

He's burying The Miz and R-Truth right now. Like he's been fired a month ago but that didn't stop him from becoming the IC Champion and showing up to work every week/

Cody has been awesome this year, and his build has been great. It seems like they're actually trying to use the Intercontinental title as a stepping stone to the main event in a way they haven't really done since Randy Orton in 2004. If it keeps going this well, he'll definitely be a world champ within two years.

Love what they're doing for Cody. Knew it was a big deal when he went over Mysterio at 'Mania, but I'm glad to see he's on a roll. Looking forward to the day he drops the Deformed gimmick, though. IMO it's kind of a waste. I mean, isn't he going to be fired next week? lol that reminds me, where is Cody Rhodes Diva? she like disappeared She was only smoke and mirrors to me.
