Cody's definitely become the new Daniel Bryan over this, difference is The Rock is in charge and is a giant pissy baby, and he won't budge

He wants things his way no matter what it does. He was the death nail in the DCU and didn't even flinch when it happened, he wants to be the center of attention, and doesn't give a f*** what anyone else thinks at this point

When you think about it, Rock doing this isn't even the worst part of all this. TKO played their hand and showed how happy they are to f*** over the product and any existing storylines purely to save face or squeeze a dollar or two more out of the shows. As if Wrestle Mania wouldn't and hasn't made bank already.

So in the end, it still doesn't matter who gets hot or what manages to catch on; we're once again at the mercy of people who don't give a shit what fans want and are booking for themselves.

It was always going to be the Megamind meme

"I wouldn't say freed, more like Under New Management!"

Just the idea that is meant to be for good PR because of the Vince stuff, all that's happened is that you've pissed off the people who were trying to keep enjoying the on-screen product and now everybody's mad.

He apparently edited his most recent tweet to remove negative comments and they just came right back and ratio'd it again lmfao

It's kinda sadly fitting, that even after he's out of the company, we're still dealing with BS booking because of stupid ass Vince..

[No Longer a Produceman]

What a bitch move on WWE’s part. You f***ed over Cody after pushing his “Finish the Story” for 2 years. You f***ed over the fans that were willing to give you the benefit of the doubt by being patient like you asked.

I’m 100% convinced they’re gonna have Roman break Sammartino’s record.

This is the absolute drizzling shits and the crowd in Philly is gonna shit alll over it.

The Roman/Cody storyline was like the only exciting thing over the prospect of this f***ing shit finally ending and being over

Now inside and out of the ring they have NOTHING but apathy

It's like Vince never left, they tanked the goodwill they built up in one singular moment, it'd be impressive if it wasn't so depressing.

Maybe he'll pen another letter in late March for Cody?

Translation: None of this was my fault, we did awesome, see ya.

Basically the same thing here except at least Black Adam had fans lmfao

[ChitownKnight]

One thing we all gotta appreciate is how much of a professional Cody is. If i were him, I would be at the very least make passive aggressive comments on twitter knowing they can’t do shit since he is one of their biggest stars still

Cody Rhodes to The Rock:

[Crow Dust]

I'm not saying it was the right decision but I am saying the Twitter comments are really funny.

Rock Vs Roman at Mania:


Rock does the Rock Bottom to Roman, 1....2.... The Rock is pulled from under the rope by a man in a hoodie who reveals himself to be........CODY RHODES

The only thing that could possibly make this worse is more Punk involvement.

If Cody pivots, and he should, he should make it about *HIS* decision, *HIS* journey.

Their one out they have for this is Cody saying he has had "council" over the past week. Have him say that council was with The Rock, who he wanted to hear out as his new boss, but after thinking it over realized that, no, that's not what he wants to do.

Have him say he's always had to forge his own path and successful did it by following his heart, so why stop listening to his own heart now?

He tells Roman the match is back on for them to go one on one at Wrestlemania.

Then, smash cut to The Rock watching from somewhere and The Rock going "Finally, he gets it! He's ready!" like Raiden in the Mortal Kombat movie.

------

Or something to that effect. It has to be ALL Cody if they want to rebound from this. This is CODY's story. Get "advice" from The Rock is an outlier, an unnatural deviation even before we get to the whole him giving up the match. Cody needs to return to the core narrative, "My story isn't about how I can destroy you, my story is about how I build my kingdom."

I agree, honestly.

You could also maybe have Cody take the match back if the Bloodline beats the shit out of Rock, with them having Roman vs Rock as an easy Summerslam match for him to get his payback, sure, but that'd require Rock to show vulnerability and is thus probably verboten.

Saw this on Twitter.

Honestly its probably more meaningful to win the IC title than whatever Rollin's title is
