>Realistically speaking, what was so good about the cody rhodes storyline?

I feel this was more of a good catchphrase (finish the story) than a good story per say

If you look at it, the story was.

Lose title match, random feuds, win chance at title again, win title match with help from random wrestlers.

What makes this a good story?

IMH sami zayn leadup to the title match was much better
