>>5939387>He will be gone from in ring action for 9 months and that will cool him offLiterally the opposite lol
This is basically the best thing that could have happened to him.
It's extremely likely, like, over 80% likely, that if this didn't happen, they'd get tired of him, job him to Reigns, then maybe job him to Reigns again, have him win a US/Intercontinental belt, and have him slowly cool off and fall into the sea of indistinguishable grey-hot geeks that are all the wrestlers not named Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar in this company.
When Cody Rhodes returns, he will be white hot from this angle and over half a year of absence, he will have a belt run, and in all likelihood, he will be in the Top 3 biggest main eventers of the company for the next half decade to decade.
