SRS said Cody's promo was unscripted so that's pretty interesting too. He said everything he needed to say, he made sure he recognized the legends who held that title, he poured so much emotion into it and he had the entire crowd in the palm of his hand.
Masterful. He's improved so much.

My hopes: Cody gets to transfer over the Codyverse in the most near 1:1 way possible, having the same batshit and bizarre segments (like pulling out actual HHH and Cena merch from under the ring instead of golden shovels and such), over the top matches, weird promos. He effectively takes the Cena spot that's been missing when Vince is like "oh my god you're just like my favorite version of John Cena. 2017 shoot promo John Cena." He gets to hit the ground running (even if momentum's dissipated a bit without the initial shock of him leaving AEW) and becomes a hugeass must see name in WWE, with his Codyverse content that was unfitting in AEW fitting much better in WWE. He gets a world title and gets to beat Roman. He gets to influence TV in a way to push away from the house show nothing happens style to a more...Codyverse "EVERYTHING IS HAPPENING AT ONCE" style. so far so good!

Dude won his match at 'mania against a top tier talent, has kept almost all of his presentation from AEW, and got to cut a great, UNSCRIPTED promo on the Raw after 'mania.
So far, it's been great and long may it continue.

Cody put a ton of heart and emotion into talking up how big a moment it's going to be when he taps out to Roman Reigns.

Hunted it down and yeah that sure is a "Cody cries" promo. I don't even mean that in a bad way. It was a good promo. But I really hope for the dude's sake that he remembers he has a range and can do things other than "This is the most important thing to me" because that works well for something like the thesis statement of "my dad never had this title and I made him a promise", but if he carries it on through three years again and has to do this kind of promo every week or two for shit like a random match against Ezekiel--and that's not even an exaggeration if you remember the build for the one-week feud he had with Pentagon--it's going to wear thin and it's going to start to fall to pieces.

I don't understand why they couldn't have at least had Cody come out at the end of the show and stare down Roman from the stage. He made his intentions clear at the beginning of the show and it would've made for a better ending than just "Tune in Friday."

Honestly the last thing Cody needs is a program with Roman right out of the gate where Vince suddenly changes his mind at the last minute and decides Roman's boring reign of doom needs to continue.

I saw The Bump earlier and I really liked that Cody episode. So far he seems to be one of the best in the company when it comes to press. All that EVP stuff he did in AEW's coming in handy.

I watched that Promo, to me Cody always seems like a guy who's "Acting" when doing these type of Promos.
I liked his over the top-WTF moments in AEW so I hope he's successful here

Now Edge, on the other hand, has let this god complex seep into his head, and is now a delirious DEMON with no remorse." My head hurts from typing that.

Watching this back, I forgot how many big names Cody's pinned. There's asterisks like handicap matches and interference and such to them, but he still has pinfall wins over HHH, Seth, and Reigns, and made HBK tap all in his first run. Also he beat Ezekiel Jackson.

I am now laughing at the thought of a promo like "I promised my daddy when I was 9 years old that I would one day face the Younger Brother of a guy that played guitar before vanishing into the ether... who suspiciously looks like said younger brother only the older one had a beard... " >_>
