...rehab like a man possessed.

Older fans will recall those glorious rehab videos for Triple H back in 2001. Set to U2's 'Beautiful Day', they expertly build excitement and anticipation for Hunter's babyface comeback and Royal Rumble 2002 triumph. Why not mimic that before the 2023 Rumble?

Everyone and their dog knew that Trips was winning the '02 match when he was announced for it, but nobody had a problem with that. It'd be the same here if Rhodes started waxing lyrical about the Rumble being his only stab at WrestleMania headline glory. Then, BANG! Sweet redemption.

This obviously depends on how long Cody will be benched by a pec tear. However, WWE definitely doesn't need to entertain the thought of rushing Rhodes back - he shouldn't be this generation's John Cena and return early. It's not like Survivor Series is a big deal these days.

Nah, replicate this emotion.
