Comments
Yeah, but it was for reasons that didn't add up. They acted like he took the spotlight for himself as an EVP but didn't mind when Kenny & TYB were champions, with Kenny being one for almost a full year. I'm glad Cody's getting some good love, but it feels off, like the popularity came literally overnight. Ntm, they built up Sami's story just for him to be a roadblock before Cody.

2023-02-01 18:17:50 +0000 UTCThat Cody line on Sunday was probably one of the longest lines for a signing I’ve ever seen.
2023-02-01 03:33:45 +0000 UTCSomething tells me Sami isn't getting a Mania title shot, let alone a title run.

2023-02-01 01:04:32 +0000 UTCIMO I think the right thing to do is just wait until Dakota and/or WWE offer up more information. It's a person's right to share injury news when/if they want. Not intending this to come off harsh or critical. Hope you don't take it that way.

e d
2023-01-31 21:56:22 +0000 UTCWas there last night and can confirm that Cody sold a lot of merch last night. Though there wasn’t much to choose from.
2023-01-31 21:39:23 +0000 UTCIt's crazy how over Cody is in the WWE when AEW fans were booing him for no reason a little over a year ago.
