The countdown to Cody won’t be going anywhere.
Cody Rhodes has had a whirlwind first half of 2022. He has signed for WWE following him walking away from AEW. He returned to the WWE at WrestleMania 38 and we have seen repeatedly that WWE have advertised Rhodes’ appearances on Monday night RAW.
On the latest Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer discussed the Cody Rhodes countdown. Last week on Raw, they pointed out a specific time for viewers to tune in to see Cody. This week, they doubled down with the counter to try and get more viewers on the third hour of the show.
“It worked in week one, so you’re going to do it again and with the same guy. Obviously, they believe, of the guys they have, that the one who is the most valuable to focus on to save hour three is Cody Rhodes because they’ve put him in there two weeks in a row.”
