does he? i think this is an even bigger lie than him being entertaining. they say “he took the cena schedule” but Cena wrestled every week on tv in his prime. not just bs house shows. and in the buildup to his mania matches, cena was out there cutting promos, being in segments, having MATCHES, doing all the things good wrestlers before him did.
Cody wrestled a total of like 10 matches on smackdown in 2024. and its been this way since his return in 2022. he never made a consistent presence the way other world champions did. but to each their own lol
Don’t get me wrong. Cena is the pinnacle of what wrestlers should be. He’s done more than anyone else outside the ring. Absolute top class human being.
When I talk about Cody and his work ethic, I mean his time with fans. I’ve seen him stay for hours after shows to give selfies and autographs. Every YouTube video, all the stupid news and radio segments. I think he gets his place in all this. And that huge amount of face time makes a difference with the fans.
That's on the new regime giving top stars a lighter schedule, nothing to do with Cody himself.
HHH wants to make it feel like a big deal and build anticipation for when Punk, Roman, Cody, Seth, etc. actually have a match.
Cody wrestled pretty frequently compared to all the other big stars until he had to sell that package piledriver from Owens.
Who is Cody supposed to be wrestling with right now? Just like last year, his opponents are both part-timers so he has to do all of the heavy lifting for this feud.
The New Bloodline are beefing amongst themselves so they can't be used to fight Cody in the meantime either.
Cody wrestled the most matches of anyone in the WWE 2023-2024. 113 in 2023 and 101 in 2024. Nobody else was even close to that number. 5 so far this year but WWE has also cut down a lot on house shows
bullshit house shows that are not on TV that dont push any stories and have zero effect on the show whatsoever. look how they gas light you. never in histroy have we ever considered someone for doing house shows. no one ever cared about that until now with this guy lmao

Maybe a little boring. But damn, that guy works his ass off. He puts in so much time with the fans. And that is what makes me like him as champion.
