Dax Harwood: If You Want Cody Rhodes To Overcome Adversity, Show A Video Of His Prior WWE Run

Many fans thought Cody Rhodes would walk away from WrestleMania 39 at the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion by defeating Roman Reigns in the main event. 

It was not meant to be, as Roman defeated Rhodes to continue his run. 

Speaking on his FTR podcast with Matt Koon, Dax Harwood compared the situation to Lux Luger failing to win the title at SummerSlam 1993. 

“Imagine, if people would have said, ‘well it’s SummerSlam, WrestleMania 10 is around the corner. Let the story play out.’ We did, we let the story play out. Letting that story play out, it killed Lex Luger. I saw other people who said Cody had to overcome more adversity. He tore his pec. Thousands of people in the arena saw it. Hundreds of thousands saw it on the pay-per-view. I don’t know if you can overcome any more adversity than that. On top of that, if we only want to keep it storyline driven, just show a one-minute package of his prior WWE career and what he had to overcome there. Before he left, the man was Stardust. Show how he had to overcome and made himself into a main event level star and then have him come out on top. It’s okay for the good guy to win sometimes. I feel he should have, that’s my opinion. I feel he should have won,” said Harwood. 

Triple H stated after the match that the story never finishes. You can find his full comments on Cody losing by clicking here.
