Doubt Over Cody Rhodes’ Ability To Draw The Masses

Cody Rhodes parted ways with AEW earlier this year and then made his way back to WWE. Since then he was immediately booked as a huge deal, especially thanks to his presentation. There is also doubt over his ability to draw the masses.

Despite suffering from a legit torn pectoral muscle, Rhodes managed to compete against Seth Rollins in the main event of Hell In A Cell. Rhodes won the match and since then has been out of action.

While speaking with Wrestle Buddy, Vince Russo talked about Cody Rhodes being a credible opponent for Roman Reigns. Russo then expressed his doubt over Rhodes’ ability to draw the masses.

“I think from a business point of view, bro, [Cody] went back there and got a hell of a lot more money, man. So, I think he did really really really good for himself. But again, bro, I’m just going to go right back to the well. I don’t think Cody Rhodes draws the masses. I just don’t, bro. The hardcores love him. A mass audience, I don’t think he’s the guy, bro.”

WWE might also be presenting Cody Rhodes as the face of the company now. Cody Rhodes is expected to be out of action for a long time. It remains to be seen what WWE will have planned for Rhodes once he returns.
