Like, Cody has great babyface fire on the mic, but goddam he busts out "positive platitudes" and you're reminded why he's really a heel at heart. Never change Codelander. That's the thing that frustrates me a lot about Cody. He does a fantastic job of being a heel who thinks he's a babyface, only there's zero irony or awareness to it. Heel or face, the last thing I want from Cody is a wink. Irony is boring. |

I need like, Westside Gunn or Rick Ross to do ad-libs during beatdowns from now on
Just picturing Eddie Kingston doing his machine gun chops while Gunn just goes "BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR" is beautiful

He’s been a good heel previously in his ROH and NJPW runs because his dad and his brother were also strong heels and the whole family is just talented. But when or if Cody wins the title, it has to be as the babyface Nightmare.
WWE still needs that post-Bloodline pallet cleanser, and an unironic and true blue babyface at least for a few months is what would be needed.
Cody jumping into “Codylander” right away as champion would be lame. Especially if the crowds and merchandise are indicating he’s still hot and enjoying him as a hero.

Somehow the crowd is still very behind him and somehow SummerSlam tickets are doing great despite some peoples wishes. He still should have won the title but, the idea that he's somehow dead in the water is a myth. |

I don't get it. At all. It's kind of a small horse, I mean what am I missing? Am I crazy?

That said, he's been super protected since he came back last year. One miscue doesn't suddenly change that, no matter how much a minority of fans would like it to. The "Cody is a bitch" thing went way too off the rails |

Correct. He's still very much the company's top babyface and even if I was fuming that they didn't end it at Mania, it still feels like all signs point to him being the guy to take it from Roman. |

Sure. I get the frustration over it. But people acted from the jump like Cody came out, raised Roman's hand and said "I acknowledge you Tribal Chief" before walking off |
