Cody Rhodes’ 1-Year Anniversary as WWE Champion – Did He Live Up to the Hype?
We’re closing in on one year of Cody Rhodes as WWE Champion. After years of chasing the title, finishing his story at WrestleMania 40 was one of the most emotional moments in modern wrestling history.
But now, looking back, did it all live up to the hype? Did Cody deliver as the face of WWE? Was it worth ending Roman Reigns’ historic run just before he could surpass Hulk Hogan’s streak?
Some say Cody brought fresh energy to the title scene, made the championship feel prestigious, and connected with the fans in a way few can. Others feel the Bloodline saga overshadowed his reign or that his feuds haven’t been as compelling as expected.
What are your thoughts? Did WWE make the right call, or would Roman surpassing Hogan have been the better play?
