I'm trying not to think of the Damien Priest thread and others like it, with people full of hope on page 1 slowly losing hope in the pages that follow. I hope history doesn't repeat itself for the sanity of all involved. It's a good thing that Cody Rhodes and Damien Priest have absolutely nothing in common at all. /cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/23126217/CODY.png)  |

Reporting Cody for harassment cause he won't stop reminding me that I actually thought he should turn heel at one point He’s basically doing a version of that Bret Hart ‘heel in the U.S., babyface everywhere else’ angle. Except in this case he’s a heel specifically to you and a babyface everywhere else. Lmao oh don't get me wrong he's absolutely not a heel to me right now. Patrick Bateman kissing babies and healing America is my guy. |

He lost that pretty quick once Cody resurfaced |

He believed in himself and by the end when the boos came in harder it is now apparent he already had one foot out the door Timing is everything. His ultra babyface act was running beyond stale in AEW but it is what is needed in WWE "I have to no-sell Pentagon breaking my arm FOR THE SAKE OF MY UNBORN DAUGHTER WHO I WILL END RACISM TO PROTECT" was garbo television, but WWE is in way more desperate need of a super strong face and he's not rubbing up in weird positions against other, more interesting people in an off-putting way. A change of scenery alone has done him a million favours. |

The only person who lost sanity from Priest is me because I was the one that started that thread 2 years ago and saw the big time potential in dude even when people stopped believing in him Only for him to start proving me right and WWE to f*** it up as per usual |

A change of scenery alone has done him a million favours. Once it became apparent he was really stuck in his ways and not playing some long term heel turn game plan that people thought, he was well on his way to losing the crowd fully. People tried to act like he was still getting more cheers than boos and "he's over" so it don't matter but it def did matter. The best thing he probably did was down scale and just focus on him as a wrestler. He's just him being the big babyface alone without his wife or anyone else and trying to honor the family name. Cut out a lot of the unnecessary weight and focus on the bare bones and that's all he needed (besides a new audience) |

He deserves this more than I can put into words. Don't drop the ball WWE.

Cody is 100% right place, right time. He’s the star that WWE needed, he can slot into the Cena role perfectly. He’s earned this

Used to be, if a wrestler got stale, if the scene was getting crowded, they'd go to another territory. In this case, that's proven to be a good move. |

I hope history doesn't repeat itself for the sanity of all involved. On one hand, I get that, but on the other, frankly speaking, Cody is better at this than Damien is, plus WWE are probably paying him a shitload more money and thus have a vested interest in not botching this. |

Cody Rhodes literally benefitting from the fact that he wasn't there to job on TV over and over. You know you don't book faces very well when the one that is the most over is the one you didn't have access to.

Cody winning that championship is going to be a huge moment. Part of me wants them to wait until Mania & allow Drew to win the title this summer but I don't know if they can wait that long. Cody needs that belt pronto.

Cody needs that belt pronto. Or get this … he loses to Roman Reigns with Seth interference, Seth gets sucked into the Romanverse, then Cody loses multiple times to the Bloodline Shield then flounders in the midcard while Roman gets his Rock match! |

I'm pretty much entirely expecting Cody to face Roman at SummerSlam, lose, and then never be nearly this over again.

Under other circumstances, I'd think that might happen, but they are probably paying him way too much money for that. I'm not under the impression he's going to necessarily be given the world, but I figure it's going to be more like with AJ Styles, which in a lot of ways, this feels comparable to. Hope that doesn't mean he gets the world title for a ludicrously boring title reign like AJ at one point did, but hey. |

They’d be fools not to put the World Title on Cody.
Even if it’s just one of them and Roman keeps the other one.
