I just finished RAW. Pretty bleh show, but apparently they did 2-3 re-writes according to twitter.

I’m just finding Cody’s booking lame as hell. I’m all for the brave, all fight baby face but Cody is lame, man.

Like on Saturday if he somehow beats Brock it will come across as god awful booking, and makes Brock look like a nerd.

If he loses, congrats Cody. You’re a f***ing idiot for wanting to take that match with your arm falling off.

I don’t know. I just want him as a heel so badly but that’s probably never going to happen.

It’s strange they’re going to put a world title on Seth while clearly building a match with Roman.
 
Cody is challenging some 1993-94 pure white babyface Bret Hart vibes. But without that "coolness" that Bret brought to the role. So really he just comes off like a big dork, so much so that him defeating Lesnar doesn't even seem believable.

Speaking of Lesnar, there is some underlying story they have planned that likely ties into The Bloodline and Heyman. Is he secretly working on The Bloodline's behalf, like a paid mercenary?

Is it just me, or has injuries to female performers reached epidemic levels?

I doubt doubt it. The whole presentation is super hero-ish. Almost like the lovechild of Cena and Bret was given Lex Lugers All-American gimmick and could make that gimmick work. Luger's problem was he really wasn't all that likeable. Kind of came across like a bit of a dickhead and I'm probably one of the bigger Luger fans you'll find. That gimmick should of been money. You can't tell me Vince didn't love "The American Nightmare" branding. That is right up his alley historically.

As an adult, I'm probably never gonna be a big fan of 2023 Cody Rhodes uber-babyface. But for those who want a pure hero babyface, he's one of the better ones we've seen in an era where it's hard, really hard, to get over as a pure good guy.
 
I was never a big Cody guy, but never really "hated" him. I'll admit he was pretty good as Dashing/Disfigured Cody Rhodes and then his ROH/NJPW/Bullet Club run was really good even if he wasn't a favorite of mine.

But he became pretty unlikeable to me in AEW and I barely watch WWE other than RR/Mania/SummerSlam and random clips I see on here and twitter, but no matter how good or bad he might be I think the AEW run spoiled him for me.

If he really is a white meat babyface for the kids now, that's fine, I don't have to like it, I'm not their target audience, but you also risk him getting turned on like Cena. Is he still cutting the cringe/phony/douchey (for lack or a better term) promos like he did in AEW?
