Oh, fans will absolutely get bored of Cody… but that’s not on him at all. Fans just love the underdog.

Have Roman and the Bloodline beat Cody down backstage at Mania and now he can't compete on either night. Rock takes exception and we get the match the people actually want. Cody methodically takes apart the Bloodline over the spring, gets that important win against Reigns down the road, and is actually allowed to flourish during his reign. Everybody wins.

Everybody that's saying Rock's involvement and teasing in the Bloodline is the greatest thing ever. And of course, the WWE who are the biggest proponents of that match. At least in my scenarios, Rock-Reigns isn't gonna loom over Cody's run like a dark cloud, just waiting to knock him down the card.

Yeah that's the only way to do it. Cody giving up the match is such a simp move, but getting attacked would be better.

Notice how all the company's momentum and all discussion is focused on THIS theoretical match and not any of Cody's potential feuds once he is champion? There will be no trouble with Cody's future feuds: - Orton - Rollins - Punk - McIntyre - Edge (hopefully returns) - Gunther - Reigns rematch - Rock - Rey Mysterio (WM 27 feud rematch) - John Cena Could literally book like 4 years of feuds right there, as much as Reign's boring ass run.

"Rock and Cena was already a made match so setting it up at Miz' expense was unnecessary." - ¡Twist Of Cinnamon!, 2024 If you utilize a third party to set up a match between two megastars, he/she automatically becomes irrelevant. Easily being dwarfed in booking importance and ultimately forced down the card. A guarantee of becoming no better than number 3 in the pecking order, in the event WWE actually cares for the unfortunate talent placed in the position by poor planning and judgment.

I can see Cody giving them the fair match they never had with Reigns.

A lot of great feuds there. I just pray the fans stay invested.

Hate to say this, but once Cody's champion and begins defending the belt how long before fans move on to the next rising star?
Cody finishing the story is keeping people invested, but once the story's finished what's next? The modern generation love guys chasing the belt, which is what Cody's currently doing.
Fans will love him as champ at the start, but long term? I can't see it.

I tend to stand by what I said back in Oct. Although, that was before the Rock came back. If he is involved in SummerSlam, that might extend the cycle a few months. As we know, wrestlings popularity has always been cyclical. The cycles of popularity for anything entertainment related these days seems to get shorter all the time. I think the current popularity of WWE is going to reach it's peak at WM 40 and the end of Roman's title run. By the time SummerSlam 2024 hits, I think we will see a decline in ratings, attendance and overall interest in the product. Cody will have the unfortunate responsibility of being the champion at this time. The decline won't be his fault, but as the face of the company, he will be the one the fans blame.

I think we can safely say Rock isn't going to turn on Reigns & they will win night #1.
Cody will have the odds stacked against him & hopefully will get help from fellow Texan Austin.

He could talk 5h!t about Orton and how he was treated in Legacy. Turn on the fans who cheered for him, just heel 101. I think that's GOT to happen and will make things super interesting to the point where we want to see him get his ass kicked. This could bring back Goldust for one final run to try to straighten him out.

So what do u marks want Cody to do? Chase the belt until he's 100 years old? He's gotta finish the story eventually 🤦
