Not sure if his act is a heel considering arn Anderson and dustin rhodes came out like a face has won. Delusional perhaps buts like saying going forward Dustin and Arn will be delusional characters too, as well as khan's on screen too.

Honestly, the whole thing is so weird that I can't even form an opinion on it. It's like a movie that's so surreal it's hard to rate.

Whatever happens, I just kind of want the conversation around Cody to get a whole lot less tedious.
"Cody's presentation can be a bit much" and "Some people are really creepy in their hatred for him" are both true, but it just feels like currently, we're in a place where both have been driven into the ground. Just kind of hoping for something new to talk about re: Cody.

I mean it’s not the worst thing in the world as long as there is character progression. And minus that one promo two weeks ago where he almost went down the heel tunnel there hasn’t been much of it.
It’s all good being a heel that thinks he’s a face but you need to present it as that. Not a guy booked as a face who thinks he’s a face and is booed.

Cody first title defense should be at Battle of the Belts.

Honestly, I don’t hate Cody. But I am tremendously indifferent to him. And I don’t find the “meta” story all that interesting.

Here where I stand on Cody. Is he a good talker? yes. Is he a good wrestler? Yes. Is is the best on the roster? No. Should he been on top of the card. A year ago or so yes. But the roster as grown and better talent who have more interesting appeal have taken in. When your building up new talent, it was stupid move for Cody to beat Sammy. He doesn't need the belt or the win. Thats why the fans turn on him because they know how much stroke he has in the company. Fans hate when a wrestler has that stroke and becomes a champion or wins all his feuds. The company success is making there home grown guys stars now. We had two years of seeing what they do, now they should start taking that next step with those guys. Instead they went backwards. Having Darby win it, than Miro after a direction change win it and dominate. To Sammy over coming it and winning. All of that just so Cody can win it again? Makes zero sense in a booking to create new starts.

One good path would be Kingston beating Cody IF PnP are the ones to dethrone Lucha Bros(they might recycle that Impact storyline from 2018)

I'm not really thrilled about it but not really outraged either. I'm mostly just hoping it's short because more than anything right now Cody just bores me.

Ethan Page should be the one to dethrone Cody.

I cannot see this being a long reign but also I don't see either the Men of the Year winning the title either.
The timing is odd, and makes me wonder if this was an audible. I think Black and Andrade have helped Cody get a bit of his groove back in ring but he's still got little momentum with fans that I don't like the move.
I've heard 2 theories.
1) Have Cody lost the title to Hook.
2)AEW will be in Cleveland on January 26... there is a certain free agent that is from Cleveland that many would say is a perfect candidate for the TNT title

If AEW does something crazy like have PVZ beat him or something, then I might be interested.
The optics of Cody being a three time TNT Champion when no other belt has had even a two time one yet are pretty noticeable.

They went from a heavily cheered, beloved, wrestling-centric babyface as champ to the guy with arguably the most heat.

Ethan Page should be the one to dethrone Cody. He'd be a really excellent choice, honestly.

Schrodinger's Cody: he is both a face and a heel.
