My dream scenario is that he works out a deal with TK where he books ROH. The Codyverse needs a containment zone and I'd honestly love to see what an entire promotion's worth of his dumb ideas would look like.

The Ring of Codyverse would unironically kind of be wild and interesting.

Dave stuff from Observer Radio regarding the situation:

Dwayne/Reigns was part of Dwayne's deal to join the TKO board and get his trademark back. It was all one deal, made between Dwayne, Ari, and Nick Khan, and it was made January 3
Few in the company were made aware (obviously this includes Cody and HHH, the latter of whom now has at least 5-7 people with more authority than him instead of just the 3-5 while Vince was back, being left in the dark); nobody knows why Cody was booked to win the Rumble with this planned, and they were being told early-last week the plan had still been Reigns/Cody. Cody thought this, that's why he pointed at him to end the Rumble. Unsure about SRS' report that he didn't find out till Friday on the way to the show, having to do the "I'll think about it, Seth" tease Monday should have been a red flag something was up
Dwayne/Reigns merch has been made, sponsorships have been signed too
Plan as of this weekend is Seth/Cody for the participation trophy. Period
Dave thinks having Cody publicly pass the torch over and step aside was done on-air to get him more over/humble with fans, like peak Daniel Bryan in the company; Alvarez was baffled by that because after two years of him being back in the company and always either in the world title scene or competing against/beating people who went on to become champs, he doesn't know how much more over he's supposed to have to get

should�ve just had the rock enter the rumble & win it. this is loving hilarious.

In three years, does Cody crawl back to AEW or does he try to start another promotion with like... Bobby Fish and Enzo or something.

Would a 41 year old Cody really leave WWE and go elsewhere? I don't think so.

Seriously. Just slot him in at 29 or 30 and win the thing if this is what they were doing.

I mean... Priest is going to take the title off Cody soon after he wins it, because the face has the chase the heel!

AEW would/should welcome Cody back if only for the promos. Years of every opponent being able to refute Cody's every point by saying "That may be true, but at least I didn't give away a Wrestlemania main event title shot".

cody was pointing at thin air

As if a switch had been turned, as if an eye had been blinked, as if some phantom force in the universe had made a move eons beyond our comprehension, suddenly, there was no trail! There was no American Nightmare, no Son of a Son of a Plumber, no thing called "Cody" to be followed. There was nothing in the ring but the puzzled uces of courage, who suddenly found themselves alone with shadows and darkness!

With a tweet, one cloud lifts, and another descends.

Professional Wrestler Cody Garrett Runnels Rhodes, rescued, alive, well, and of normal size, some one thousand miles away in Jacksonville, with no memory of where he has been, or how he was separated from his promotion! Then who, or what, has landed here? Is it here yet? Or has the cosmic switch been pulled? Case in point: The line between work and shoot is microscopically thin! You have witnessed the line being shaved even thinner!

ChrisBTY: Mar 29, 2012; this glorious monument

Good loving lord Dwayne is turning into a corncob before our eyes.
I'm not sure how much respect I had for him before this but you take that amount, then subtract that amount and that's about where I am right now.
Also; FFS Roman wrestle two nights in a row you George RR Martin turd. If you can't do that than why the hell are you still in the business, much less the champion?

Why the hell do I have any emotional investment in this? I should be laughing at this flaming dog turd of a situation. And I still am but there's still so much frustration here.
(And yes obviously this pales compared to the Vince situation but I can be mad at two things. I can be mad at many things it turns out).

So is Dwayne going all in with wrestling because he�s giving up on his tanking Hollywood career, or is this just a sidequest? It doesn�t seem that long ago he was bigtiming WWE and didn�t want anything to do with them.
