Former WWE head writer Vince Russo recently shared his thoughts on Michael Cole’s commentary during Cody Rhodes’ appearance on RAW, suggesting that it may have unintentionally portrayed Rhodes as a heel.
During the episode, Rhodes found himself in the midst of action, stepping in to rescue Jey Uso from a two-on-one assault by Bloodline members Jimmy Uso and Solo Sikoa.
Additionally, he engaged in a fiery promo directed at The Rock and forged an alliance with Paul Heyman, setting the stage for a solo appearance on SmackDown.
In a discussion on Sportskeeda Wrestling’s Legion of RAW, Russo delved into Cole’s commentary during Rhodes’ intervention, specifically highlighting the mention of Rhodes’ expensive footwear.
Russo pointed out the traditional association of expensive shoes with heel characters, emphasizing the potential disconnect between such luxury items and the average viewer.
Expressing his surprise, Russo questioned the logic behind drawing attention to Rhodes’ expensive footwear, suggesting that it inadvertently positioned him in a negative light.
He referenced Cole’s long tenure with WWE, indicating a puzzlement over the commentator’s characterization of Rhodes in that moment.
As Rhodes gears up for what could be the most significant match of his WWE career, the stakes are undeniably high.
Teaming up with Seth Rollins, Rhodes faces the formidable duo of Roman Reigns and The Rock at WrestleMania, with the added pressure of potential consequences should they fail to secure victory on Night One.
The looming threat from the Bloodline adds an extra layer of intensity to the impending showdown, underscoring the gravity of the situation for Rhodes as he vies for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship.
With tensions escalating and alliances shifting, the anticipation surrounding Rhodes’ WrestleMania clash continues to mount, promising a showdown of epic proportions on the grand stage of sports entertainment.
