The reason why everyone is saying “Cody is fighting midcarders lmao” is literally because almost everyone in the WWE is either gonna be a midcarder or upper mid carder. Like you have (for initial feuds) Randy, Reigns, Brock, and Edge (?) that could be “Star feuds”. Randy is in his team with Riddle, Roman is too soon, Brock went back to his place to do his thing again, and Edge sucks and is on his way out (Vince knows this).
I know this is basically cope but don’t blame WWE for putting him against midcarders to bury Cody, blame WWE for not building guys up. They could of done AJ maybe but he’s just a midcarder now.
