It made zero sense for Cody's character.

The WWE has went a long way in creating  character depth (not depth of wrestlers, but depth within an individual wrestler himself) on RAW.   And they have had them consistent in those characters and they progress in a fashion that makes sense-- it's why people are invested in characters and faces like Cody, more than in a long time.  The Drew character example is amazing, and Cody just is way over.

Then last night they have Cody do something that is 100% outside of his character.   He's never been a "cuck", if anything he had a bit of playing politics edge to him, and then he throws it all away.

Its not even like the Roman loss last year which, could be debated.   That didn't destroy his character story.    Making him do what he did last night destroyed it.

People are invested in current characters, especially on RAW right now... last year it was more Smackdown.   It's not like the Vince era where fans were not really invested in characters... so going to the oldtimer well (Lesnar, Goldberg, Stone Cold) was a necessity.    Fans don't want that rigth now.

Not sure if its Rock or TKO.     My guess is that it could be more TKO seeing the $'s and positive press from a Rock / Roman Reigns match and having the old school "legends" are needed.
