“False” allegation levied against Cody Rhodes although contradictory data puts premise to rest

The dominant dynamic of The Rock and Cody Rhodes’ weekly war and Rhodes’ deep-rooted narrative of completing the story his father started was something that set fans’ hearts on fire. This deep resonation prompted them to expect something more striking in the long run. And their desires looked to come to fruition after a fairytale-esque note. However, after the magic in the air dissipated post-WrestleMania, the pro wrestling community put responsibility on Rhodes for WWE’s poor metrics.

The masses started to question if he instigated a downfall in the company lately. A wrestling analyst chose to initiate a counter-attack by presenting a data sheet that contains a clear view of WWE’s upward trajectory in the ratings graph since Rhodes cemented his status as top dog.

The esteemed wrestling journalist debunked all the anti-Cody Rhodes voices with a ‘false premise’ promulgation that clearly shows ratings are actually higher in comparison to Dynamite.

Nevertheless, the former AEW star will have his chance to turn the tide soon enough in his favor if he nails his first title defense at WWE Backlash France this weekend. Will the American Nightmare turn on his fans following the backlash? Let’s scout the prospect.

Cody Rhodes is content with his current persona

Right now, there should be no denying that Cody Rhodes has been the biggest babyface in the company. But things are changing slowly and steadily. With the recent polarizing reactions he garnered, it won’t be too early to think about a potential heel turn. The idea of the same was heavily nurtured since Rhodes’ AEW days. While being asked about the possibility, the 38-year-old straightaway prioritized his strong connection with his audiences, especially the younger ones. But following the traditional pro-wrestling ritual, the champ did say never say never, keeping the door half-opened.
