The Cody Rhodes Story Thread (IT'S OVER)

[xxshoyuweeniexx]

Cody’s not a bitchzilla, but Seth is in the cuck chair at least

This was never "Always the plan", Cody hugged Rock and left like his whole family died, he was giving up the spot

Tonight they retconned it to the extreme, for GOOD REASON, but they are basically going to have to pretend Cody didn't walk out on Smackdown

And Seth looks like complete shit in all this, that belt is such a joke lol

Since they’re going with corporate hollywood asshole Rock, they can reconcile that Smackdown segment by having Cody going off on Rock, saying he got “bad counsel” from an egomaniac.

At least Rock realized he can't be a martyr anymore, much like Batista in the same sort of scenario

I think the idea is once Rock started shit talking the fans and going on about the family tree and how it's the only royal family in wrestling, Cody realised he'd been played.

It doesn't matter, Cody went "I never gave up my spot" and the dude said "I'll face you, but not at WrestleMania" on Smackdown

It's a retcon, I'm not like super mad about it because it was deserved, but it was definitely a retcon lol

Oh yeah 100% a retcon but they've managed to do it in a way it can be explained, whether anyone believes it or not is another thing 🤣

[BRV]

How it felt after the last week getting to tonight.

Oh I don't believe it for a single solitary second and neither should anyone else lmfao

But they definitely pivoted a few days ago otherwise Meltzer wouldn't have made himself look like a complete f***ing lunatic online.

You gotta fast track Seth vs Drew and maybe Sami ASAP. Have Rock/Roman corner Seth and have Drew come out to use that last liiiiiiiiiittle bit of wonder if he could do the right thing as a good guy.

Have Drew claymore Roman, Seth throws Rock out of the ring and Drew just claymores the shit out of Seth saying that he's his and I'm getting that WM moment.

[asuka007]

I don’t believe for the second that this was planned. They totally pivoted. And the whole thing is convoluted.

But fair enough Heel Rock is potentially more interesting. Now Cody HAS to win.

[fw91]

I know people weren’t happy about how they got here, but I’m honestly more interested than I’ve ever been in this story after tonight.

[Baldobomb-22-OH-MAN!!!]

Alrighty let's all go back to reminding WWE what a piece of shit Vince is, because we all agree that guy sucks...

All I gave a shit about before was Roman losing this f***ing belt at Mania

Now I care about the exact same thing just as much except now I'm more annoyed at them, distrusting, and think Seth looks like a joke lmfao

Honestly if they do that it’s almost like a double turn because Drew is so awesome right now I can’t see it getting anything other than a gigantic pop.

[Snaptastic]

I don't care how they did it, I'm just glad they did it.

I also dig sticking an asshole Rock next to Roman. As it is, the blank tank top and corporate rock style pants, sort of gave the game away when he came out.

I also suspect this will lead to Rock screwing Roman at Mania.

[jackswagz]

no idea how they got there but this is incredibly interesting

all the shit back stage with the rock and roman getting at hhh was cool too and so different to the usual wwe presentation

so f***ing good

You're completely right but let's be real here, Drew's heel turn is so f***ing good he is gonna be cheered anyways. He's simply too good at this, he's not getting booed either way. Too much of a savage and a funny one at that.

Rock’s essentially the Mike Tyson to Cody’s Austin and Roman’s HBK, so I wouldn’t be surprised if Rock turns against Roman at WMXL.

Seth looks like he'd rather literally be anywhere else man, looks like a f***ing goofy background character in this shit lmfao

I get that, but Rock standing up for the bloodline was not how I thought him going heel would go. I’m all for it

[Jindrak Mark]

I didn't think we'd ever see heel Rock again. And I definitely didn't have a Rock/Roman 2 man power trip on my 2024 bingo card. It'll probably only last 2 months like the Austin/HHH one but hopefully it's entertaining in the meantime.

I see things shaping up like

Rock/Roman v Cody/Seth either at EC or WM night 1
Roman/Cody/Rock and Seth/Sami/Drew on WM night 2 (night 1 for the latter if no tag match)
Roman v Rock and Cody v Seth at Summerslam

[asuka007]

Seth looks like such a goober in all this.

This all did him ZERO favors.

85% of that is by his own choice.
