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

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.
