SmackDown was supposed to feel huge on the road to WrestleMania… but instead it felt completely empty.
Cody Rhodes defeated Drew McIntyre to win the championship, and on paper that should be a massive moment. Cody is the face of the company, the guy WWE clearly wants on top. But the reaction online tells a very different story.
So far, the Cody Rhodes title win has already racked up over 50,000 dislikes on YouTube, and that alone tells you how divided the fanbase is right now.
And honestly, the bigger problem wasn’t just the result. The entire SmackDown felt like it had no real story progression. It was just match after match after match. Wrestling is supposed to be more than that. The matches matter, but the story is what makes those matches feel important.
In this video I break down the pros and cons of Cody Rhodes winning the title, why so many fans are furious about the booking, and why this SmackDown felt like a huge missed opportunity on the road to WrestleMania.
Because right now, this just doesn’t feel like what WWE needed.
Chop Nation, let me know what you think.
Did Cody Rhodes winning the title feel like a huge moment…
or did it feel completely empty?
