For me Seth Rollins was the obvious choice for the Punk feud and still is but more on that later. However, this Drew McIntyre guy has really caught my eye, he is very interesting.
Dude has an Original Personality (most important requirement),
When WWE was really interesting and I was watching it regularly, religiously, Cody Rhodes was introduced to me like this👇
Randy's sidekick
When I slowly stopped watching wrestling, He was doing this👇
Stardust
Last time I saw him was on YouTube, when he cut that final promo on AEW before leaving the company.
Yesterday was My First Time hearing Cody Rhodes' theme and damn it, all I could hear was THIS 👇
youtube
This is where I first heard his song.
What I mean by all this is, I personally don't see him as the company guy like John Cena was and I'm very indifferent about him BUT since Roman now wants heat from Punk too, I hope Cody Rhodes wins WrestleMania.
“I’ve grown so wise in my old age that I’ll do my best to be as diplomatic as I possibly can with this answer. If there are people backstage that don’t like me, it’s a minority. If anybody says that
nobody wants me here or nobody likes me,
I like to say that nobodies don’t want me here and nobodies don’t like me."
