I’m so glad some of you aren’t booking.
It would make total sense if the reactions to Cody Rhodes were negative. But they haven’t been, they have been positive, merch has been flying off the shelves by all reports and the attendance & ratings are up.
What sort of champion would Sami be going forward? Could his character survive on its own, away from the Bloodline story, as the face of the company and main event? I don’t think so unfortunately, and Sami admitted as much in a recent interview.
Having Roman drop the titles for a one off pop from a home crowd is not the way to go long term. Even with a bunch of title switch shenanigans. His 900 day build/reign as champion needs to be ended by someone who can maximise the most out of that moment, and become a star on a level that can sustained. Cody is more that than Sami.
As for the potential tag team match that looks likely. Well there is still 6 weeks until WM, so there is plenty of time to build the heat there and take the Jey Uso chapter anywhere. The potential of the Bloodline downfall, losing all their titles at the one event is an interesting one to me. Also Sami has never won a Tag Team Championship in WWE as one poster claimed. Winning one with KO, repairing that friendship that has been at odds for months and been involved in the Bloodline downfall together is a pretty neat way to come full circle.
