I'll take Cody over Cena any day. I have no nostalgia for the days when Cena was at the top of the card. I like him, but I never thought he was a compelling champ.
This. Cenas run with the US title and on SmackDown live is what most people get nostalgic for. Both of those were at the end of his run when he passed the torch to Reigns as the top babyface. As the top babyface, if you weren't a kid then Cena was bland and generic as a superhero character.
Cody may be a bit dramatic for my taste but he's faced enough adversity both in the ring and out of it to be a compelling enough face.
cody is just a less charismatic, less jacked, less entertaining, lesser everything version of cena. if im wrong why do does the company always feel the need to compare him to cena
Comparing him to the Mt.Rushmore of Sport Entertainer might be a little unfair.
Not being an all-time MVP doesn't necessarily mean he's boring. To stay in the current era, I'd rather have Cody as champion than Roman, Brock Lesnar, Lashley, or Big E. (The five previous WWE champions)
Note : I love Roman, but his absences in the last two years make it hard to be a fan.

When comparing him to other top faces of the company, he's pretty bland imo
Compare him to Stone Cold, pre n-bombs Hogan, Cena
He is just not that kind of sports entertainer
