“They f*cking fumbled Cody Rhodes, the biggest import from their rival promotion in the main event of WrestleMania just for a stupid 1,000 days record nobody will care or remember in a couple of years,” DrainBanger wrote. Other fans, like DrainBamager, wondered why WWE fumbled the bag so badly when it came to Rhodes’ return, as they spent the better part of three months building him up as the knight destined to slay the dragon only to come up short in favor of a reign record. “Cody Rhodes on Raw tomorrow night before getting squashed by Otis in 30 seconds?” Jeez, now that is harsh. While many fans agreed with Jackson Jr.’s assertion, as demands of “Acknowledge him!” sporadically broke out in the crowd, in the parking lot, and even on the roads around SoFi Stadium – usually with “Head Of The Table” bumping from their cars – others weren’t as excited to see Reigns inch closer to 1,000 days as champion, with some suggesting that Rhodes might just be headed for a return to his jobbing ways as Stardust.Ĭody Rhodes on Raw tomorrow night before getting squashed by Otis in 30 seconds #WrestleMania /gaZCrsKZ8d You know, I would call that a pretty incredible rant indeed, even if it’s sort of tired to compare Rhodes to Homelander, as AEW fans have been pointing that out for, oh, about three years now.

Sure, Reigns hasn’t been pinned in almost four years and was rapidly approaching 1,000 days as champion heading into “The Showcase of the Immortals,” but Paul “Triple H” Levesque committed three months and hundreds of hours on the screen, on social media, and across the media landscape to building up “The American Nightmare” – after jumping ship from AEW back to WWE, would Rhodes really lose his first chance at the promotion’s top honor again in a move borderline plagiarized from his match against Chris Jericho at Full Gear.
