Will Cody win a world title before Mania 39?

[ChitownKnight]

I think he wins the wwe championship by Summerslam. Can have him, Rollins, KO trade the title around.

[Mayonnaise]

Tough to say because right now that looks like it would involve taking a title from Roman and I can't see them having him lose to anyone they don't have locked down long term.

I guess he could take it off someone like KO but I just don't see a clear path right now.

[Instant Classic]

If they don’t keep both titles on whoever wins between Brock and Roman for sure by Summerslam. I could see him winning by MITB.

[Mozenrath]

I could see it. If nothing else, I don't think he's coming back to piddle around in the IC title scene.

[Push R Truth]

Roman will still hold both titles by then so no by default.

[Deleted]

It'll be the night after WM39 the latest. Absolutely.

[Chiral]

I hope so.

I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s in contract to win a world title

[Nosnorb]

Dude is winning the WWE Title for sure. I can see him either winning at MitB via a cash in or at Summerslam.

I feel like they'd stop short of doing that, but I do imagine if they are throwing a lot of money at him that it'd be a case of, "If we're paying him this much, we better get our money's worth."

Same. That has to be high on his bucket list:

To win the Championship neither his dad, nor brother, ever held.

[Starshine]

I don't know, I have trouble imagining Cody measures up to such main event luminaries as Jinder Mahal and The Miz.

[zrowsdower]

If by world title you mean the 24/7 title, then yes, he will.

"Was that a challenge you son of a bitch!?"

[Jindrak Mark]

I wouldn't be shocked if he beats Rollins at Wrestlemania, confronts Roman on the following Raw/Smackdown then wins one of the world titles from him at the next PPV so that Cody and Rollins can continue their feud over the title (possibly Cody pins Rollins in a triple threat to win it and keep Roman strong for Rock next year). After they get the nice photo-op of Roman celebrating with both belts at the big show they don't like guys going around with two titles long-term and Raw will need a champion.

I could see them doing the same thing they did with Becky after she won the two titles. At the next PPV she had to defend them both in separate matches, the first one being successful but then dropping the second one.

It all depends on how he proceeds once the shiny "new" toy effect wears off and how long the initial momentum carries on for. If crowds aren't as into him or booking dramatically cools him, then I'll say no. I definitely don't think putting the title on him within the first 6 months makes sense. I'm personally interested in seeing Cody settle in with some non-title stories and how they shake out. Let's see where Cody is by January 2023 to determine if a World Title in his first year back makes sense.

[Pooh Carlson]

He'll make a splash at WM, challenge Roman for a championship at Backlash or Hell in a Cell, lose, and then be in the midcard until his contact expires.

[robferatu]

Honestly, I feel like it depends a lot on if the title unification match will be more of a "Becky two-belts thing" or if one of the belts are retired, and they precede with having one world champion going forward.

If it's the latter, if he doesn't win it by "SummerSlam" or "Survivor Series" then I just don't see it happening as the WWE really want that Roman Reigns vs. The Rock match at "Wrestlemania" next year for the top title.

However, if it turns into a situation where Reigns has to regularly defend both of the titles post-Wrestlemania, inevitably he's going to drop one sooner than later and I could see Rhodes being prominently featured in the WWE Universal or WWE Championship title picture and getting a run with one of the belts.

I have not doubts that they'll push him hard upon his return, but I can't help but wonder how sustained that push will be.

[nickcave]

He has more of a chance of reverting back to Stardust before Mania 39

["Evil Brood" Jackson Vanik]

I vote yes since they'll likely go back to having two titles shortly after Brock/Roman. Roman will have a stranglehold on one of them and the other will be easy for Cody to get since it's likely going to be a rotating cast of upper midcarders for the next year.
