Would anyone be down for this? Assuming Cody wins the title, I think Drew would be a fitting opponent for him at Summerslam. They were tag champs together, left wwe and came back and won the rumble and world titles at the main event of mania. Drew could be resentful that Cody won in front of a crowd and beat Roman when he was unable to. Or they can do a face vs face respect match

Could be good. There are a lot of potential opponents for Cody assuming he wins. I’d be interested in him and Gunther at some point as well.

I’d prefer Gunther winning the title from Cody there.

I really don't want a Drew heel turn for no real reason. Face vs face isn't my favorite thing. I'd love to see one of the titles returned to Smackdown and Cody defending on Raw.

I can see him turning heel probably on Sheamus before or after Mania.
I think him or Lashley would make a good challenger for Cody.

I'd be very careful with Cody and face/face matches out of the gate. Could it work? Absolutely. But I would wait a bit and milk some easy heel feuds at first. You could turn Drew but I just find him to be a lot more boring as a heel.

There will probably be a draft after Wrestlemania and I expect the titles to be split again but either way Cody should have a lot of potential challengers and the world title scene should be very fresh with the Bloodline fallout being its own thing away from the title for a while.
If Drew turns heel he's definitely a possible opponent. Gunther obviously. If Solo stays undefeated they could get a PPV out of Cody being the first person to beat him. If Bron debuts as a heel he could immediately be a top challenger. I expect Finn to beat Edge at Mania which should put him in position to maybe be Cody's first PPV challenger.

Drew honestly would need to be built up first to be a good Summerslam opponent. The two were once tag champs together, so there's at least material they can draw from, but yeah, a Face vs Face match for the second biggest show of WWE's year needs more juice than they currently would have. For a B-level PPV or a big promoted Raw, like a "season premier", etc, then yeah, sure, that'd be a good match, likely.

I’m honestly not sure what to do with Cody as champ. There are very few competent heels. If I have to guess they’ll probably go to the Rollins well A LOT.
Gunther could be a challenger, but I think that he needs to win the belt in his first big time program. Losing to Cody a few times isn’t going to do anything for him.
Drew, Sheamus, and Lashley are pretty safe bets but I’m not sure how much intrigue will be in those matchups either.
Then again, this being the WWE and with Darth Vince looming we’re probably going to get an awful Cody/Theory program. lol

I think it would be a big time match considering Drew also win a rumble and Main Evented a mania by steamrolling Brock Lesnar giving him a big rub as well. Yes it was a pandemic mania, but it counts in my book, and he carried the wwe through the pandemic. |

I’d prefer Gunther winning the title from Cody there. I want GUNTHER to squash him for one of the titles like Brock vs. Cena at SummerSlam that one year (and not because I dislike Cody or anything, I really like him) |

I think it's doable if they build him up again, since I do agree, he has the resume, it just feels like he's been colder in the singles scene since the UK show. I suppose that was a good idea, to keep him from racking up more losses, but it does make him feel like he's low on momentum right now. |

My ideal would be Cody loses one of the belts to Finn within a couple of months and the other to Gunther around SummerSlam.

Finn Vs Cody would be a fun program and you can get a few weeks of matches with Cody taking on Dominik and Priest in the lead up.
I know people are dreading it but honestly a Theory match probably wouldn’t be bad. I wouldn’t have Theory win by any means but it’s a decently over and expendable heel to beat before the big show defenses
