You know that moment when everything in wrestling feels a little too quiet, then BOOM Cody Rhodes flips the table on all of it? That’s what’s going on right now in WWE and fans can’t look away. It’s like one of those storylines that starts small but keeps building until everyone’s holding their breath. And if you caught Raw this week, then you probably already searched for the 22casino login right after, just to feel that same rush elsewhere.
Cody isn’t playing it safe anymore. After his emotional WrestleMania win, a lot of people thought he might cool off for a bit, take a break, or just fall into a quiet title reign. But no, he’s doing the exact opposite. He’s turning up the heat week by week. Whether it’s subtle digs in promos, wild tag match alliances, or even who he bumps into backstage, everything Cody does feels like a breadcrumb leading to something bigger.
Here’s where things get even more juicy. There’s talk, quiet talk but loud enough for insiders to whisper, that WWE might be slowly building toward something massive with The Rock again. It’s still early and nothing’s confirmed, but Cody’s jabs about unfinished stories and carrying the real legacy aren’t being ignored. These aren’t just for show. They're aimed. That’s what makes his segments feel electric. He’s having fun but also warning everyone.
Then there’s the Seth Rollins angle. Even though they've crossed paths before, the energy between them right now feels different. More raw. More personal. There’s something about Seth looking like he’s constantly just one word away from snapping, and Cody knows it. Their tension might just boil over into a SummerSlam-level moment. It’s that real.
Speaking of SummerSlam, let’s talk about what fans really want. Cody vs Gunther. Two completely different styles, two totally different vibes, but somehow they’d make magic in the ring. Gunther brings that stone cold intensity. Cody brings the heart. And if WWE’s smart, and they usually are when it comes to big fights, they’re already planting seeds for it. No one says it outright, but watch how they’re both being protected on different brands, and how commentary always slips in little hints.
Now, something else happened backstage that didn’t air, but fans who were there started buzzing online. Cody and Sami Zayn had a long talk in the hallway, no cameras, just the two of them, deep in conversation. Could’ve been nothing. Or it could be the start of another unexpected team-up or rivalry. Sami’s always floating between chaos and brilliance, and Cody’s that steady fire. Put them together? It’s either going to explode or turn into gold.
What makes this whole Cody situation so interesting isn’t just what he says or who he fights, it’s how fans are reacting. Every crowd he walks into, there’s this wave of respect. People chant his name not because they’re told to, but because he’s earned it. There’s no fakeness there. And in WWE, that’s rare. He’s carrying the weight of fans who stuck around when things didn’t make sense and now, he’s making it all worth it.
Let’s not forget how much he’s also helped lift up others, remember when he pulled Jey Uso into a redemption arc after that whole Bloodline chaos? Cody didn’t have to do that. But he did, and it worked. That’s the kind of star he is, he makes others better just by being around.
Still, the storm’s coming. You can feel it. Maybe it’s Roman’s return. Maybe it’s The Rock stepping back in, or maybe it’s a complete surprise from NXT that turns everything upside down; but Cody’s ready, and fans are ready with him; there’s no more question of whether he deserves the spotlight. He owns it now.
So yes, WWE’s got a lot going on, but if there’s one name fans are watching the closest, it’s Cody Rhodes. Not just because he’s the champ, but because every time he walks down that ramp, it feels like the next chapter is about to begin. And no one wants to miss the next page.
