How would you book Cody to prevent a WWE babyface fan revolt?

[FunkDoc1112]

By not making him a whiny bytch, by not making him Superman, you can already hear pockets of fans against him. I don't think it will be as bad as Cena but by the end of this year there will be a shift, it's inevitable.

WWE really does need to present faces in a different way

The vibe at WrestleMania wasn't really that there were people against him, Bloodline dikkriders are just always on code. Once Cody actually won the entire place exploded

 

[CM_Burns]

Idk where you go from here with him. He just went from the Bloodline to Brock to the Bloodline again basically. Any challenges he faces now, as champ, are going to feel small in comparison. Unless they're setting him up for the Rock down the line.

 

[Rain]

He’s gonna get booed. It’s inevitable. The only thing that may lessen it is a great heel who can carry the belt and give him something to chase.

 

[Tres Leches]

You have good feuds lined up for this year .. Gunther , rko , the rock , next year though I have no idea

 

[NoMorePie]

If I'm WWE I don't even give him a challenger at backlash

Use backlash as a stepping stone to create a true challenger.

I’ll give you the dom part, but rhea had next regardless, but the mami stuff definitely sped it up. However, besides rhea all these people are STUCK while in the JD. Finn is washed…Dom is getting there..I could be wrong about DP but I just don’t see it I don’t see him ever main eventing a WM.

Finn may be washed but that bullet club cosign gave them validity. They went from being serious to going out there and enjoying themselves... pretty much giving them an identity.

And plenty of wrestlers have been champion and never main evented mania.. I can't speak on what his title reign will be that's up for him to prove to you, but I personally feel he's deserved the opportunity to get a run

 

[MikelArteta]

Opinions... Purple Kane is the future. He was in an awkward place as a tag team champion. But now he will shine as the leader he was meant to be

Did anyone see the height he got drew for that south of heaven?

 

[MikelArteta]

He’s in a group where a female is the clear and only star…

Perfect time to break up judgment Day
Let priest get big headed

 

[BrehWyatt]

By not having him maintain a lengthy vice grip on the title. With him, there's always value in the chase. Always.

For every scenario that the WWE can encounter, there is a literal blueprint that exists in past booking where following it + tweaking where needed to match the players and the times, you can maintain.

The blueprint that comes to mind for Cody is frankly 2000 Rock.

 

[Mob H]

Give him good opponents that will draw out that same intensity he had that night when he was whooping on Jimmy and Solo right before Rock showed up and he's good money.

 

[El Poyo Loco]

He’s in a group where a female is the clear and only star…

And the only one who gets any kind of real heat is Dom

 

[Doctor Doom]

He really needs to be in a good program with Orton, agreed.


I really want to see what Trips can do with a strong face belt run. This is a good test for him as booker.

There is so much history there, its crazy.

Probably my most looked-to feud for him.

 

[Tair]

Depends on how long he holds the title... A year long title reign:

Feuds
Rhodes vs Jey Uso (friendly feud) - Backlash
Rhodes vs Gunther - Clash at the Castle
Rhodes vs The Rock - SummerSlam
Rhodes vs Drew McIntyre - Bash in Berlin
Rhodes vs Kevin Owens - Fastlane
Rhodes vs Logan Paul - Crown Jewel
Rhodes vs Bobby Lashley - Survivor Series
Rhodes vs Sami Zayn - Royal Rumble (2025)
Rhodes vs Randy Orton - WrestleMania 41

 

[Easy-E]

Please don't make him a "fighting champion."

By not making him a whiny bytch, by not making him Superman, you can already hear pockets of fans against him. I don't think it will be as bad as Cena but by the end of this year there will be a shift, it's inevitable.

WWE really does need to present faces in a different way

All that crying and "OMG my mama" shyt got to stop.

 

[Metal Face]

By not booking him as corny as Cena

Also he doesn't need a long title reign
He can drop it to Gunther at Berlin and chase it again
