>>13484277Everybody loves the underdog, nobody likes winners. The reason Austin's face title reigns worked was because of the corporation constantly conspiring against him in kayfabe. So even though he's technically #1 being the champ, he's still the underdog in his matches where Vince is the special ref, the stooges are the timekeepers, he has a hand tied behind his back and whatever other bullshit stipulation the match had.
Now I'm not saying we need more authority angles. But if they don't want the crowd to turn on Cody once he wins the big one they need to build up some strong heels for him to feud with after the Bloodline shit is over. I think Drew is close to that level. Maybe Punk can turn heel when he comes back? On the other hand if they decide to book him in programs against Seth or Shinsuke, WWE is going to need to bust out the tarps again.
