I'm with drave on this one. Cody just doesn't seem like "the guy". He still seems like someone pretending to be a bigger star than he actually is, and I feel like the more people see of him the more he will get "exposed"... such as how the AEW fans eventually turned on him and started booing. The switch to WWE made him fresh and exciting, but he still is just not as big a star as he wants to pretend to be.
The fact is there is literally no one ready or "at the level" to take the belt off of Roman Reigns.
As I have been saying elsewhere, I can really see it being Sami Zayn... but it isn't like he is going to be a "serious" champion or be a very long reining one.... but someone has to take the belt off Reigns eventually, and right now the way the story is going, that man should be Sami Zayn. Then the title can eventually go back "down a level" to where sure, eventually Cody can win it and have a run, why not?
Just feel like Sami taking the title is the perfect WM moment and buildup. Cody would be a letdown.
