I don't understand where the hate for Cody is coming from but I'm glad he's a champ and I'm glad the bloodline reign is over because now we get to see something new

[jamesaditya]

In his Broken Skulls Session appearance, he did a lightning round of questions and named AJ Styles as his dream opponent

[Meeks.emkay]

A whole confident Cody now. It's working

[usmzn]

I love how they allowed Cody to reference NWA.

[adamclifford]

I have enjoyed Cody's rise, very good hero storytelling. And it feels very genuine.

[devonschwartz]

Buddy Rogers
Ric Flair
AJ Styles
Cody Rhodes
The only four men in history to hold NWA Worlds Heavyweight and WWE Championship.

[elcampeon]

NWA getting mentioned is sick. WWE is finally a pro wrestling promotion once again!

[sidneywadego]

It's great to see Cody Rhodes referencing his wife, Brandi Rhodes' "Open mic" line back in AEW in 2020, as well as Cody mentioned NWA and himself as a former NWA Worlds Heavyweight Champion. Cody is one of these four wrestlers to win both NWA and WWE World Championships, Along with Buddy Rodgers, Ric Flair, and AJ Styles. How crazy is Cody Rhodes won the NWA Worlds Heavyweight Championship before winning the WWE Championship years later. Long term storytelling.

Once undesirable, becomes undeniable & now undisputed.

Cody will make a great heel!!! Love it!

[keith_dark_savagethomas]

Cody taking shots as well I see😂😂😂😂 still shocked and happy that this dude is WWE Champ

[АндрійКоношенко-мх]

The NWA World Heavyweight Championship is the most prestigious championship in professional wrestling. Its history dates back to 1905. The oldest championship title. The WWE Championship used to be a part of the NWA. Everyone dreams of being the NWA World Champion

[MinhLe-ktzg]

I swear to god if fans start booing Cody just remember U ALL WANTED THIS AND NOW YOU’RE TURNING ON HIM

[kentanthony]

Champion Cody has some heat coming his way

[StoneColdSolidus]

LOL 2:26 "My name ... "

Man in the crowd: "You S**k" 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[shaquilleroberts]

Cody: If You Come At The King You Best Not Miss

[CurvyTribune]

"If you come for the King, You Best Not Miss"

Damn, That's Hard... I like that!!!
That's Cold Facts Right There

[mathiasfrandsen]

[sikandersid]

Dropped the hardest quote from The Wire. My champion.

[evanamigamer]

Regardless of what happens to Cody afterwards. Beloved babyface or dispicable heel.

Cody will forever have his moment that he'll cherish forever of winning the WWE Undisputed Universal Championship at WrestleMania XL and finished his story.

[Bilnation]

It’s a great sight seeing Cody Rhodes as WWE Champion.
