WWE Payback 2023: 10 Nightmares That Could Come True
7. Cody Rhodes Says Nothing Of Note
Cody Rhodes is typically very good at turning nothing promo segments into watchable moments. He successfully navigated some tricky spots on his own during that feud vs. Brock Lesnar, and the man knows how to manoeuvre his way through a skeleton script. He'll bloody have to at Payback.
WWE announcing that Cody will be on Grayson Waller's chat show bit, then scheduling that for a PLE, means people expect something pretty tasty here. It'd be rubbish if Waller trolled Rhodes, took a finish and that was that. Nah, there has to be some form of major announcement from Cody, and the whole thing should be short too.
If not, then why even book it for Payback in the first place? Pittsburgh will be raising eyebrows if this is something WWE could've kept back for Raw 48 hours later. Or, worse, they'll be booing the segment if it amounts to absolutely nothing.
Hmm. Fingers crossed, eh?
