 What's good Josh but Ross back again with another video, so we're gonna check out how Adam would book Cody Rhodes Finishing this story now he dropped this video before money in the bank so It's gonna be interesting to see what he had in I guess how he would have booked it You know prior to money in the bank and Jay being the one to finally pin Roman Reigns after three years of being Unpinned by anybody else outside of Baron Corbin So it's gonna be interesting to see how he puts that If how he incorporates that if he does Since he recorded his prior to money in the bank and and how he would book it But I'm very interested to see how he would do this man Adam He's fantastic when it comes to the bookings like fantasy booking and I really want to see how he would make this whole Cody finishing the storyline situation work Make sure you subscribe to parts my known if you haven't already man been looking forward to checking out this video I finally got the time to do it. Let's get right into this one, man We're not even gonna waste any more time skin to this name. Oh Hello, not the oh, I didn't see you there gather round children and let me tell you a store all roads lead to Let's do this on a time There was a young boy called Cody. Oh, cool. It's of course. He had a father. Mm-hmm Cody's father was called dusty roads Mm-hmm. One of these someone forgot that Cody's father was dusty roads Yeah, he was very sad and said this must never happen again Okay, Cody went into the butcher's shop the butcher agreed dusty was Cody's father Mm-hmm, and so Cody began to cry Cody went to the Baker's shop My father was dusty roads said Cody and like the butcher the Baker agreed This may Cody cry even harder This actually goes on for Many more pages Oh, no said Cody. I've torn my entire booby tit. I'm gonna be out of action for over six months She sure is a lot of adversities of the doctor. Yeah. Yes replied Cody. Yeah, definitely My father was dusty roads the doctor agreed and Cody began to cry. I'm just gonna skip a Page is Rubber chicken the end despite that introduction Cody roads and WWE has really worked It's funny because that's literally how his story Rubber chicken that's how it in the bow a Fucking rubber chicken for me unlike slightly inhuman inflexible Cornball sentimentality and uber-pomp coupled with his not always great Friends and family getting consistent pushes turned off the AW faithful after all he was just a little bit sports Entertainment for their tastes however now that he's back in the land of weird wrestling robots where the primary Currencies flags and everyone wrestles a little less directly onto their head and neck he slotted almost directly Into a role recently vacated by one John Cena See this version of Cody roads like 2015 and beyond John Cena has on average good to great matches is Brightly colored superhero to the kids He cut impassioned face promos with just a sprinkler behind the scene spice and he wins a lot In fact, the only noticeable difference between Cody and John Cena Is that everyone was very sad that Cody lost his world title match at WrestleMania? Yeah, let's talk about that because that's sort of the whole point of Finish the story and what is Cody? That is very that's a very good comparison He is a newer version of John Cena the cookie cutter baby face Except people want him to win people want him to be the guy or whatnot So that's a very interesting comparison, you know got the colorful fits and everything his story Was actually very similar to Drew McIntyre story Cody started in WWE He got released because he was in a gimmick He used the independent scene to radically increases value parlayed that value into a big return got over with the fans Thanks to good promos and good matches won the Royal Rumble and went on to face an unbeatable champion in the main event of WrestleMania in both cases Undesirable to undeniable now Drew won his WrestleMania match Cody did not Drew went on to have a title reign that lasted off and on for almost a full year Yeah, Cody is wrestling Brock Lesnar for the second straight pay-per-view without really mentioning Roman Reigns in weeks And we still don't know why Brock and Cody are actually Oh, so he filmed this all night one of these stories seems a little less neat Than the other but in a way Cody's story has always been less neat That's the thing Cody went on the shelf after a heroic performance inside hell in a cell a five-star match an Unbelievable true life baby face display of toughness and then he was gone with the majority of fans Immediately deciding okay Cody should win the Rumble when he returns. He's earned it His return was announced in advance of the Rumble for no Reason they definitely shouldn't announce it even though we as fans we knew But it just probably would have been better if they just didn't announce it That's all I'm saying because when you announce it you kind of know He's probably gonna win it ahead of time at least if you if he's just like a kind of a fake surprise Appearance where it's not said but he shows up or whatever because we knew He was gonna show up like it was just a matter of which number was he showing up at you know saying Whatsoever it ended up being but Cody did indeed return and he won the Royal Rumble and quite a few of the fans were very cross about this Because in Cody's absence the fan pick chosen one to D Roman had changed from brave Sir Cody to noble Sammy saying also Cody returned at number 30. Yeah, the man who yes was very big and very Goliath II but also had been in the match since number one. Yeah, too Can't remember it's not your typical underdog baby face story is my point in fact It's an overdog baby face story to John Cena story or a baby face Roman Reigns story despite this narrative Merkiness fans were still into Cody enough for two reasons one There's simply no disputing that hell in a cell performance speaking purely personally Cody will be forever over with me But that alone and to Cody's story was still good Ian Paul Heyman cut great promos at yes featured dusty a lot Which is a bit of an overused emotional hook, but they don't justified Roman was Dusty star pupil in a way that Cody ironically never had been and that small Personal distinction was one that was also blown up in a historical corporate sense in 2016 Roman Reigns won his first WrestleMania main event and roughly a month later Cody Rhodes Requested his release even though Sammy had been involved in the bloodline and a constantly evolving story line since August 2022 Cody's story was still strong enough and long enough to keep him positioned in the main event of WrestleMania 39 without too much griping from fans, although it is Wrestling internet so yeah, it will never not happen In fact out of a situation where it looked like WWE were gonna have another Daniel Bryan and Roman Reigns hashtag cancelled WWE Network Circa 2015 situation on their hands. It looked like WWE were going to be able to pull off a miraculous little balancing act and somehow Make everyone happy. Yeah, the story was very almost this Sammy got his match of the year contender Elimination fantastic match town reaction, but failed thanks to Jey Uso interference and Roman wheezing his way out yet Again Sammy and KO finally reunite and go after the USOs and in the main event of WrestleMania Night one which is still a WrestleMania main event Yeah, hell of a consolation prize for Sammy he and Kevin Owens won they win They win the tag titles off the USOs after an all-time longest reign and then in this Parallel universe in the main event of night to Sammy prevents Uso interference in Cody's match plants a boot on Roman for good measure. Thank you for the bloodline Cody reaches down deep to access his Super Saiyan I thought that once again when they got involved. I was like, this is it. This is how it ends I literally was feeling the rush of like this is it they're getting involved Sammy's getting his revenge Kevin Owens is getting his revenge and Finally the bloodline is going to get taken down and Roman's gonna lose I knew it my heart of heart. That was it boy. Was I wrong? Dusty roads powers pins Roman to win the universal title It was it seeming like a story with too many Protagonists WWE could have just about weaved it all together the show as Cody Sammy and Kevin Owens essentially Avengers assembling Yeah, take everything from the bloodline in one fell glorious swoop that and that's the thing I know some people would would say well Cody didn't win it by himself. Well, he couldn't That's the thing about Roman Reigns title reign. He's had his family always there to help him overcome him being in a threatening situation where he may lose The odds have been even no baby face that had faced Roman up to that point had back up Nobody was there to help so it was literally one person versus the bloodline every single pay-per-view You finally saw that the Usos lost And then you finally saw Sammy and Kevin Owens help out and he Cody was a part of that too in them wreck a solid and then it finally worked So I think the story would have been a complete wrap-up if He would have won then at that point at WrestleMania because it would have been a situation where yeah, Cody finally puts him away And you can say well, he had to help but he had to help to even the odds to keep You know everybody at bay and granted of course they want to get their revenge too But I can understand why some people love no he didn't win it by himself And only way he was to do that you would have to have Roman still win It didn't have to have the bloodline fall apart after which ultimately that's what it looks like they're doing It's almost the story but then solo so co-interfered Roman won and Vanished again with his titles and now we have a new world title about to be crowned for raw a Smackdown guy is challenging for it at night of champions and Cody and Brock a feuding for unknown reasons and this story Now feels like it's being written by a Schrodinger's cat inside the box I have no idea if the story is over or not yet Yeah, and also it's really confusing because being written by a cat Point is You can definitely do better. Let me have a go Easily better it's not even close. I'm ready for how he's gonna do right first things first I've already booked what should have happened in the introduction that just happened You know the thing WWE almost booked a near-perfect pair of mania main events and then whoopsie did it right at the end You just have Cody win with Sammy and chaos help Everyone gets their revenge. Yes night on Raw have Cody vacate the universal title because a WWE title is to belt his dad never won Yes, Cody ever really wanted and B is he's not Roman reign So he's not it's not his dream to squat on top of all of WWE's gold like a Samoan smile All he would have to do is just vacate the universal championship, bro Just get rid of it or retire the universal championship because the championship. He always wanted was this This is a championship. He was always wanted you could retire the championship or create a new one Whatever just retire the universal championship. You can do a version of the tournament They did for the new World Heavyweight title, but just have it be for the universal champion That be crowned off a backlash there we have a winner take all six-man tag match Sammy Kevin and Cody versus the Usos Roman all the belts on Yeah, Edge win the universal title the only current title in WWE that he's never won and have him pledge to retire The day he loses it that would have been good But that video tweet out Man, that's time so much better have Edge win the universal championship. He's never won and then whoever beats me all the time Oh, what for the world heavyweight tournament and everyone collectively agreed. Oh, yeah That's a really good story. Oh, they should do that and they didn't then have the bloodline loose Thanks to miscommunication Romo and solo brutalized Jimmy or Jay forcing them to chew between Roman His brother then you start a feud between Jay and Roman going into Summer Slam That's why I would have done Cody Sammy and Kevin's crazy because that's what they're about to fucking do So you can still get the bloodline feud He's so good and have the last word in that storyline for everyone starts building off brand new feuds happy days That's it. That's it. That's not the end of the video I mean, that's how that how they should have put bit done. Yeah, because that's a bit easy Have a two for booking on me Let's do a how WWE should book as in just before night of champions, which is when this is being recorded by the way Okay, how did WWE finish the story from here because let's be honest WWE was always gonna let Roman get to a thousand days weren't they because remember Roman was supposed to be wrestling the rock at WrestleMania 39 because it was in Hollywood and Films and that and I don't think people would have been complaining this hard about Roman still being champion after a thousand days If him versus the rock was the big match of the weekend. They would be like, yeah, right Fair enough. Yeah, probes shouldn't have been Dwayne and then Roman would have hit 1,000 days a night of champions Like he's definitely gonna and then probably then people would have talked about all right, but seriously now Yeah, now what because that's the issue I think Roman has done wonders for the company hierarchy up until this point the world titles have never felt as valuable as they Do now well until we added a third one Which definitely feels less valuable right now, but in order to tell an engaging story There does still need to be an idea of what comes next post Roman and no one has felt like a more convincing example Of what could be the next step than Cody so it should still be him in my opinion I'm gonna try and wrap up a bunch of stuff as I finish his story So we start just before night of champions on the go-home rule Cody and Brock again assigned the contract for their match They pay for you and Cody again just wants to know Why why'd you do it Brock? Why did you attack me? We still haven't got an answer to this day Brock makes Cody a deal if you can defeat me a night of champions on the Raw after that show I'll tell you why and know before you say anything I am not accepting Wade Barrett's apparent explanation Yeah, he overheard Brock being annoyed that his match at mania went on first and Cody's match went on last The idea is that Brock would be peamed in his little shorts about his match I'm not as well placed as the Royal Rumble winner challenging for the top championship of the company That is very funny indeed Especially when you imagine Brock probably lobby to go on first we could get back to his ranch in time bridge jimmy John's before bedtime a night champions Brock is standing on the second rope with Cody on his shoulders about to hit Super f5 when Cody slips back grabs Brock's head and twists in mid-air to an avalanche cross-roti pins Brock Lesnar one two three Super clean super definitive Okay, thank you. Cody gets to his feet and he and Brock actually Shake hands later on that same show Roman and solo are facing off against Sammy and Kayo for the tag titles when J Uso slides in the ring to help while the refs distract it He aims for a superkick at Sammy, but he ducks and Jay accidentally strikes solo so coer Instead solo stumbles back into the ropes into a stunner from Kayo solo stumbles back into the corner Sammy hits the haluba kick Pins solo and Sammy and Kev retain their titles now the next draw Cody and Brock share the ring Brock tells Cody that he doesn't respect Anyone so don't go Cody thinking he's earned Brock's respect. The Brock is a man of his word He points to the Tron and shows some footage It's backstage from the roar after WrestleMania CCTV footage Paul Heyman walks into Brock's dressing room with a briefcase Brock tells Paul after everything he's done with Roman Paul's got balls walking into Brock's room Paul's got balls by the way would be a great Alan partridge style football themed home video for Paul Heyman to do And after he retired I think someone had mentioned that that maybe Paul Heyman paid off Brock to do to do that I remember somebody mentioning that maybe it was one of you guys But I do remember somebody saying Maybe the story would be that Brock Lesnar got paid off by Paul Heyman To do that because they were teasing as if Paul had something to do with it because they kept asking Why was your former client attacking Brock Lesnar on that Monday night Raw after Mania? What's going on here? That would have been a very good swerve very good I that just popped into my head Brock pins Paul against the wall and Paul Stammers Look, I know you don't care about friends. I know you don't care about me, but you do care about money Look in that briefcase Brogda's it's full of money a peace offering from the tribal chief You end Cody Rhodes career Brock smiles in the ring with Cody just business He leaves the ring Cody takes a mic looks down the lens of the camera Roman. I Will see you on Friday that Friday smack that would have been good because now it say it would have been like Okay, so it was Roman who sent them all that would have been so good Because now you can get the story back on track because it's like ah that would have been good As Roman Reigns comes to the ring with the full bloodline in tow and gets on the mic And just he's about to start speaking Cody jumps to barricade and starts attacking the entire bloodline with a lead pipe Yes, eventually security guards in restrained Cody Handcuffs Cody breaks free to try and attack Roman one more time But solo Sakura grabs him and hits him with the Samoan spike Cody stumbles to his feet into a spear from Roman Who grabs the pipe and cracks it just once? Cross Cody's head who then has to be helped out by paramedics cut to the main event on the same episode of Smackdown Right at the end of the show the bloodline come out again now Says Roman before I was so rudely interrupted Roman then turns his attention to J I keep telling me and I keep telling Not to get involved in my matches Unless I tell you to how am I supposed to keep this family together unless you do as you're told Jimmy how am I supposed to get your oos to do as he's told? This is how Jimmy You're gonna stay in that corner You're gonna do as you're told and you're gonna watch Solo Solo Sakura grabs day you so his older brother and just he's about to hit the Samoan spike Jimmy gets on the mic and begs Roman Please you who's been with you longer than Jay years ago when you first became the tribal chief who was the first to fall in line? It wasn't me who's it was Jay. He's your blood. He's solo's blood He's my blood sure says Roman But what's he done for me lately? He nods at solo and solo hits Jay with the Samoan spike Jimmy cradles his brother Roman just says into the mic stand aside Jimmy Solo solo hesitates. He looks at Roman Roman gets in his face tells him to pick Jay up solo does this is so good again Solo reaches back Hits Jay with another Samoan spike Then another then another all as Jimmy watches sat in the corner nearly catatonic Oh, that's so good Cody talks for triple H in the ring He says he tried to be a good sport about it after he was screwed at WrestleMania by solo interference He didn't want to whine. He didn't want to complain When Roman was drafted to another brand and Cody was kept on Roy. He didn't want to whine He didn't want to complain, but now the Roman has tried to end his career Cody has a sickness. He can't stop. He won't stop until he gets his hand on Roman One more time He demands to triple H the trips drafts him to smack down triple H refuses You're not the executive vice president around here. I'm afraid you don't get to make those kinds of decisions But here's what I'll do. You can have a qualifying match For the money in the bank ladder match. Okay, and take a cerebral assassin to work out So this all leads to money in the bank Cody is in the men's ladder match and the main event in London For us is J. Usso versus Roman Reigns Free now as the bloodline disintegrates we go back to where it began J Versus Roman trust me when I say the UK we are ready for this match We will it's funny because he's kind of almost right. It's just instead It was the Uso's versus Roman and And so he was almost right with that kind to this match Cody Rhodes wins money in the bank and in the main event the ref goes down Roman tells solo to hit J with the spike solo Hesitates Roman slap solo across the face and solo just leaves Roman is shouting after him when he turns around into a Superkick from Jimmy Uso the Uso's hit the double splash on Roman J covers him one two Solo pulls the ref out of the ring. He's back. He's in a huge conflict about what to do He's pressing his palms into his head. He doesn't know the right thing to do Solo hits the spike on Jimmy Roman hits the spear on J Covers him for the win, but as the show goes off the air Roman looks at solo Solo Looks at Roman the roar after money in the bank Cody comes to the ring with the briefcase. So what are you guys want to talk about? Looks down the lens Roman Three months ago. You couldn't beat me at WrestleMania without your family's help three months ago You tried to use a briefcase take everything away from me I'm gonna use this briefcase to take everything away from you I am cashing in my money in the contract for my rematch against Roman Reigns at SummerSlam, and this time I'm not doing it for my dad. I'm not doing it for anyone but me yeah, Roman Times up in lead up to SummerSlam on Raw Cody and Paul Heyman have another promo similar to the one they shared before WrestleMania Paul compliments Cody but tells him you'll never finish the story because you see that would require the tribal chief To finish his own story the one that started at SummerSlam Three years ago back when you were somewhere else Roman was making his return and Shocking the world that story that Roman is telling runs through the fiend brawn Strowman Jay Usso Kevin Owens Edge Daniel Bryan John Cena Finn Balor Brock Lesnar Big E drew McIntyre Logan Paul Sami Zayn and you you when will you realize Cody? This isn't your story. This is your latest chapter in the story of Roman Reigns Cody tells Paul You know the one thing my dad always told me about Paul Heyman, and it's true You talk too much Cody hits the crossroads on Paul Heyman. You talk down Roman Houlton and never set up So I need you to listen to me Paul is her your brothers have turned their back on the family It's you and me we are at war solo and right now we need to be a family everything. I have done I have done for this family for my blood, but none of you will listen to me He's time to go a bit mad. Maybe I found some blood though that you will listen to Roman brings out Rikishi Jimmy J and of course the third USO Solo so-called Roman gets in Rikishi's face He tells Rikishi to acknowledge him Rikishi does but he reminds Roman that this is not what the Anoahi family is all about The head of the table doesn't rule by fear. He rules with respect then says Roman with the respect Please tell your son to fall in line Rikishi tells solo He is your tribal chief. You should do as he commands Roman Thanks Rikishi and then tell solo to hit his father with the Samoan spike solo grabs his father Face wrapped with indecision Rikishi just looks at him Solo Hits his own father with the Samoan spike the final second force as the contract signing Solo opposite Cody Roman does a speech about how Cody can't win the big one It'll be WrestleMania all over again a thousand million little hearts will break across the internet because it doesn't matter And the world will still turn and the Sun will rise once again on the island of Relevancy when Roman is done Cody simply signs the contract picks up the mic and says not to Roman But to solo the time we have left with our fathers It runs out too quickly Trust me on that one And then he just leaves the main event of SummerSlam Cody versus Roman to like WrestleMania the referee goes down But this time solo has Cody in his hands. He's ready to deliver the spike, but he doesn't he lets Cody go Roman screams What are you doing? And solo hits Roman Reigns with a Samoan spike Roman hits him with a crossroads not once not twice But thrice pins Roman to become the new undisputed champion Oh, I don't know when he comes back if you solo he can run rough shot through his whole family In fact, maybe he goes insane and that's how you get to him versus the Rock of Mania 40 if anyone still cares about that I'm sure we might yeah in the future Cody consolidates the belts gets one new belt Finally, there looks a little bit more like a winged eagle than it does like a business card You have the WWE Championship on SmackDown. You have the World Heavyweight Championship on Raw and somehow It's 2002 All Some of us And that is how I would finish Cody Rose's story. That was good, man That was really really good. I gotta go ahead and Go ahead get this video like man. That was fucking fantastic, bro Gotta give it a like man. That was good, bro I like he kind of predicts some of the stuff that's happening right now. So hey, man That was I I think a lot of us were hoping that Cody would be a part of Summer Slam And that's how he would finish the story Because most of us don't want it to happen again at WrestleMania. You know I'm saying but they decided to do other things And right now it's still looking pretty good But Cody's story is definitely on pause right now until this Brock Lesnar situation Finishes up and the question still becomes how will they be able to get Roman and Cody to Interact with each other once again, so it's gonna be interesting to see how that happens We will see how it plays out But I definitely enjoyed how he booked it because Adam's always fantastic at these fantasy booking ideas So comment down below. Let me know man. Did you guys enjoy how he booked the finishing? Oh Cody finishing up the story or do you guys feel like it's better? You know what's happening right now?
