Cody seems like the only EVP that is putting talent over. They all started that way but have slowly taken the belts and the limelight. Yes he puts himself on tv weekly and in almost every angle it seems, but he usually comes out of it on the wrong side. I'd love him to go heel and chase Darby for the TNT title but he shouldn't win it again for a long while. Omega and the Young Bucks winning the world titles was downright inevitable, and Omega held out in some peoples eyes way longer than he should have. The Bucks were always going to have a big tag title run as well, especially considering it might only be a few more years until Matt at the very least scales back in ring. They're EVP's but they're also all extremely talented in their prime wrestlers who all went awhile without getting the big spotlight with belts. I don't know what more they could have done, and they will eventually drop those belts which is also important to note. Yeah, Matt’s 36 and he’s been pretty open that he doesn’t plan on being a full timer much longer.

Cody has the goodwill of the fans for playing such a major role in the company even existing so he'll probably always be cheered no matter how he's booked. I'm surprised there's even slight boos seeping through.

ALL of the Inner Circle turned face ALL of the Dark Order turned face a bit ago Eddie Kingston turned face
Only a few turned heel (Hardy, Scorpio Sky, Archer?). With so much shifting, Cody has all the reason to cross over to the dark side, with all the face turns and him being stale.
Also, Archer should have never been babyface in the first place to just quickly change back. Reminds me of Randy Orton briefly shifting alignments when coming to Raw. Reduces heat/fan engagement like crazy.

I just realized I wish Triple H got trashed in promos as much as Cody does it'd be so cathartic lmao
Like every week someone comes out and is like "Cody listen you're literally just shit dude Weenie Hut Jr.'s called and said their place is too tough for you" and Cody just stands there and cries lol.
While HHH his opponent always had to be like "Wow hunter you're the sexiest smartest funniest man to ever live, how can I ever beat you?"

They did that with the Bucks also. I've been waiting for Cody's big heel turn for awhile now. I enjoy him as a face and heel so it doesn't matter to me.

Archer is more of a "I am going to beat up whoever is currently in my way" which is the same territory PAC falls into usually. Heels happened to be in his way the last few weeks. If a face champion is suddenly in his way for a belt, then he's not going to really care about allignments, and that now happens to be Darby. The Bucks feel like a long con to me with Omega and Good Brothers, Cody I feel is a face still because he's such a face of the brand and outside of it, I feel like eventually he will but I can't say I'm not surprised he hasn't just yet.

It's very strange with him. I think he wants to go a much different way than other wrestlers handed the book with putting more wrestlers over, but the presentation, even if earned, looks too much like ego.

Sadly, I think even if he’d get shit if he became a jobber and got squashed every week, and people still would crap on him and his ego because he lost in 2 minutes instead of 1 minute.

Not to mention that Omega's playing such a great asshole heel at the moment that Hangman is gonna be made as soon as they have their first face-off

It's weird. For close to a year Cody has been doing all these little things that make it seem like his ego is getting out of control which logic would dictate would either lead to a heel turn or at least a major humbling. But neither has happened.

If Cody is as smart as I think he is, he's wanted to be heel since the very beginning cause it's just what suits him best. The first Double or Nothing he 100% worked heel against Dustin, he even put his wife in danger just to win a bragging rights match with no real stakes. Everything about him from the suits to the entrances to that f***ing American flag tattoo screams douchebag. But because the fans love AEW and they know there wouldn't be an AEW without Cody, they cheer him anyway, like how people hate HHH but love Uncle Hunter because he gave them NXT, so he ran as a babyface. Granted, that's me giving him a MASSIVE benefit of the doubt. Cause the alternative is that he actually thinks acting the way he does makes him likable and that makes him even less likable.
