Feels a little "too little, too late" to me. Cody and Goldust were really hot for a while and a focal point of the show, then they lost the tag titles and completely fizzled out. If they were going to run with the full blown split and feud angle, Wrestlemania should have been it.
Or, at the very least, they should have still been at the forefront of the tag division at the time and included in the title match instead of being wasted in the battle royal. Simply put, they should have been more prominently featured in some capacity leading to this inevitable split.

Cody just needs a gimmick change again. I'm a big fan of the guy, I always have been, and I'm pretty blown away at how he seems to always move onto something new and continue to stay interesting. Dashing Cody Rhodes and the transition to Disfigured Cody Rhodes was his best run to-date imo, by a mile. I LOVED the vignettes of him grooming himself, and I don't think he really did the Dashing gimmick long enough. That was ok though because the feud with Rey Mysterio and the entire transition, and the entrance music, was so awesome. Him putting paper bags on people was just solid gold to me.
The mustache took on a life of its own, which was hilarious. His feud with Sandow was spectacular and should have ended up being over the WHC imo. His run with Goldust was something I think we all really enjoyed as well. So even if Cody goes through a down stretch where he isn't doing too much, he seems to come out and reinvent himself to get to a new place. I really enjoyed his feud with Big Show leading up to Mania 28 as well. So again, I'm really rooting for the guy. Him winning MITB would be amazing, but not something I'm expecting to happen. I'll be genuinely shocked if Cesaro doesn't win MITB based on WWE's current landscape.
Cody turning heel will undoubtedly work, regardless if he goes back to the mask or not. I'd love to see him feud with both Ziggler and Bryan. There are a lot of talented guys I would love to see circling the IC Title right now, and feel that Big E and Wade Barrett are both a waste of time. Neither of those guys are entertaining enough or have good enough matches to warrant carrying that belt around now that it's the second level strap. I've seen Wade Barrett do absolutely nothing with the IC Title on 3 separate occasions. I don't need to see it a 4th time just to reaffirm my opinion.

It should be Goldust going heel. Cody was over as when the entire team began and the pairing only hindered his growth IMO. It helped Goldie get the best run of his career but it hurt Cody in the long run.

Would be cool to actually have them break up like next week on RAW and face each other at ER. Maybe tables match or I Quit match.

I am always rooting for Cody but I just can't see him being main event material right now. Maybe when guys like Orton and Cena phase out I'll think he'll have a fair shot.
The problem is that there is a huge roster and unfortunately creative can really only focus on one thing at a time.

Cody is on the mid-card treadmill
and not getting off any time soon, heel or face.
