Nope, he learned long term booking in AEW. He’s gonna get revenge on Kofimania at Vegas, gotta retire R-Truth at Wrestlemania 42! Get it 42! 😜 moreover, why has nobody started a celebration of HHH bringing back numbers for Wrestlemania? They’ve sucked his dick on every other thing about that weekend.
Michael Cole: What is Truth doing? He isn't scheduled to face (wrestler). This is a (match type) match, why is he under the ring pulling out a (weapon)?
R-Truth: My bad, this (noun)'s on me.
Can you kindly explain to me what this means? I see this all the time on here, but I've no idea what it means. I must be the only redditor who's never seen the show.
He's basically an egotistical asshole villain that Cody happens to look like with the blonde hair and rah rah America gear. He's one of the best written villains recently and the show is pretty fun so you should def check it out if you ever have time 😊
Superman, but grown in a lab. Because he didn't have proper parenting, and was never seen as anything but a product, he has no humanity, and cares about nothing but his own ego. However, he's used the media to make the public think he's this great hero, until he eventually snaps.
In the case of Cody, it'd be him as the anti-John Cena. A perfect face wrestler, but secretly an entitled prick. Eventually, he cracks, and the real Cody starts to come to the surface. Unwilling to accept that he's the bad guy, he continues to act like he's the hero, while also being a vicious and bloodthirsty heel.
Reminder, pre-AEW, Cody's character on the indies was that "Dusty Rhodes son grew up to be Ric Flair", and spent most of his WWE run as a heel too. Like, he was such a heel that when Bullet Club became tweeners, he tried to oust Kenny Omega, and caused a civil war. Just like the story of "Hulk Hogan was always an asshole, but he finally stopped pretending when he joined the NWO" worked, "Cody was just an egomaniac pretending to be the nice guy" is a very easy story to tell.
It doesn't need to be a TV thing but a live event/dark match where Truth references this but calls him Stardust instead. "I heard Stardust wants to kick me in my face. So I'm challenging Stardust to a match right now!" Then Cody returns as Stardust for one night to beat R-Truth.
YESSSS. I love this idea so much, and would pop SO fucking hard if I heard “written in the stars” one last time. unironically my favourite wrestler theme lol it goes so hard
I think it would also be funny if Cody just has the makeup haphazardly placed on his face and Truth would be like "Damn Stardust, you let yourself go".
Wins the title, started looking over his shoulder paranoid and runs away
Announcers trying to tell him 24/7 rules don't apply and jinder Mahal isn't in the company anymore
I'm telling you this right now. R Truth will be the sole reason why Cody Rhodes turns heel. Imagine Cody issues an open challenge and R Truth answers and they have an impromptu match and Cody can't pin or submit R Truth so Cody just grabs a steel chair and snaps 💀
Ironically Brock says in his book having matches with Hardcore Holly constantly is what sort of pushed him to leave WWE. They kept making him travel far baiting him with "it's a pretty important match" only to give him Hardcore Holly the last minute.
Have truth just start calling him Stardust constantly and saying he looks like this new guy Cody who’s the champ and if he sees him to let him know.
Then have Cody snap.
Nah, I was referencing the "who killed Mr burns?" Chapter.
You were thinking of "look everyone, I'm homer Simpsons, I don't need safety gloves because Im homer Simpsons"
I can’t help but love the fact that our World Champion is obsessing over a grudge he’s got with a lower mid-carder who has a ton of talent. It shows that if done right, he could easily elevate R-Truth into the main event scene with a good program. I’m sure it’s not what’s going on, but man, I would love to see Cody vs R-Truth at a PLE for the title. So much potential for a good fun time.
What this reads to me is that he wants to give back to R. Truth so damn much that he wants to build him up and give him one last good run at the title. Hell, I'd love it if Cody's heel turn was at the hands of R. Truth.
Gotta get Carmelo Hayes in there too, my guy gaslit Trick Williams for months in believing that Melo wasn't responsible for costing him opportunities. And then when he revealed that he was behind it all, he was hamming it up at every opportunity.
Planting the seeds for next year's three stages of hell buried Inferno/Hell In a Cell/Buried Alive WM main event for the Undisputed title between those two.
It'd be funny if Cody kept trying to offer Truth a title shot just to beat the shit out of him, only for Truth to repeatedly miss the point/get derailed to the detriment of the increasingly irate American Nightmare.
He's 50. Doesn't move like it and to be honest, if he can keep going until he's 60, he can easily prolong his career via being R-truth.
The only downside to him being in WWE is we aren't getting R-Truthausen.
Why does this story keep resurfacing every couple days on here? There’s been videos, montage clips, links to where he said this… we get it. What’s the point of rehashing this again? The conversation has been had multiple times on various subreddits for a week now.
They are planting seeds for the dankest timeline ever: Cody losing the belt to R Truth, gives Truth his flowers with a short transitional run with the belt and allows Cody to drop the belt while staying a baby face because Truth is so beloved. Then the heel who takes the belt from Truth will have nuclear heat. Could even do all of this in one night. Like open the show with title match, then later Truth gets so excited to be champ he schedules a belt defense that same night and loses the match and the belt lol.

They're dusting off My Way for this Mania main event promo
A generational clash to end all racism. CODY V TRUTH IN VEGAS BABY, GONNA BE A BLOODFEST
Needs an emotional sit down between Truth & Jackie Redmond to recount his childhood memories of watching Cody Rhodes
Nope, he learned long term booking in AEW. He’s gonna get revenge on Kofimania at Vegas, gotta retire R-Truth at Wrestlemania 42! Get it 42! 😜 moreover, why has nobody started a celebration of HHH bringing back numbers for Wrestlemania? They’ve sucked his dick on every other thing about that weekend.
You think you're special.
If R-Truth's career was a story, it would be a Mad Libs book.
That'd be a great book. I'd buy that.
I think you mean that would be a great lobster. Book was the noun for what R-Truth put in his cornflakes for breakfast.
I think you mean what he'd pour his cornflakes *in*
Here comes R-Truth, member of (Heel Faction). The crowd loves him. Now he begins to imitate his childhood hero, (Young Wrestler).
Michael Cole: What is Truth doing? He isn't scheduled to face (wrestler). This is a (match type) match, why is he under the ring pulling out a (weapon)? R-Truth: My bad, this (noun)'s on me.
I just wanna hear about his childhood when he knew that one day. He was going to be in judgement day.
Darren Young?
Damage Control Ilja Dragonov
R truth has to beat Cody clean just for the gag.
That's the beginning of Homelander Cody
Never knew I wanted this! Now I’ll be disappointed if we don’t get “Homelander Cody”
He teased it not very subtly during the build to WM40
He's been teasing it for 5 years.
Oh for sure but most recently and specifically in WWE it was in the build to WM40
Can you kindly explain to me what this means? I see this all the time on here, but I've no idea what it means. I must be the only redditor who's never seen the show.

They do the nicest wrestlers make the best heels. Daniel Bryan is another that springs to mind.
It's basically one of those dime a dozen "What if Superman was actually evil?", but actually done well.
The crash out of the century.
It doesn't need to be a TV thing but a live event/dark match where Truth references this but calls him Stardust instead. "I heard Stardust wants to kick me in my face. So I'm challenging Stardust to a match right now!" Then Cody returns as Stardust for one night to beat R-Truth.
stardust is cody's finn balor Demon
The thing is stardust has a chance to win a match.
Was about to say NXT Demon was an unstoppable force, but main roster demon has become Finn’s Stardust 😔
YESSSS. I love this idea so much, and would pop SO fucking hard if I heard “written in the stars” one last time. unironically my favourite wrestler theme lol it goes so hard
I think it would also be funny if Cody just has the makeup haphazardly placed on his face and Truth would be like "Damn Stardust, you let yourself go".
Cody just has one of those Stardust masks for kids.
I’m ok with Truth having a win over Cody. He can do no wrong.
Especially since Cody would legitimately go insane if he lost to Truth.
R Truth beats Cody at wrestlemania 41 and R truth gets confused when it isn't the 24/7 title.
Wins the title, started looking over his shoulder paranoid and runs away Announcers trying to tell him 24/7 rules don't apply and jinder Mahal isn't in the company anymore
But Tozawa is, or the returning Carmella!
the yano moxley photo recreated with r truth and cody
Make it for the title, it's worth it because it's R Truth.
R-Truth beats Cody in a game of connect 4. Cody doesn't even realise he was meant to be playing and R-Truth legit believes he is now the champ.
I'm telling you this right now. R Truth will be the sole reason why Cody Rhodes turns heel. Imagine Cody issues an open challenge and R Truth answers and they have an impromptu match and Cody can't pin or submit R Truth so Cody just grabs a steel chair and snaps 💀
Hes Cody's seth rollins.
inject this storyline right into my veins
Cue Truth randomly coming out in Shield-gear at a PLE ..
My Bad y'all. I thought judgement day changed clothes.
Nah bro, he’s coming out as ⭐️star-truth⭐️
Star Truth this makes too much sense, book it 😂
WHISKEY HOTEL ALPHA TANGO SIERRA UNIFORM PAPA
R "Freaky-ing" Truth
I think he’s basically exactly like the Moxley vs Tory Yano memes haha
Damian was my duck.
I wouldn't be surprised if it's after he loses the belt, then loses to R Truth.
If I knew how to set a remind me for 6 months down the road for this I would.
This is how shinsuke feels fighting Cody in so many house shows
just Cody?
It's how Hardcore holly feels all the time. He wrote a book about it.
How ‘bout you give me da belt!
And then what CrashyBoye?
Well then I beat errybody!
Ironically Brock says in his book having matches with Hardcore Holly constantly is what sort of pushed him to leave WWE. They kept making him travel far baiting him with "it's a pretty important match" only to give him Hardcore Holly the last minute.
Shinsuke is one of my favorite wrestlers, I love his gimmick and miss him telling bed time stories.
…wait, where IS Shinsuke?
Out surfing 🏄♂️
That’s how you know it’s the year of the hater. Even Cody’s getting in on it.
He's what the culture feeling
He hates the way that Truth walks, the way that he talks
He thinks he should just DIE.
what is it the STORY? youdontwannawrestlemenomore OKAY
Cody doesn’t wanna hear truth say it no more
No one’s beating Kendrick
Kendrick is engaging in all-time hating but the year isn't even halfway over, let's wait and see.
Idk man telling someones parents you straight up hope their son dies because he's a pedophile is gonna be incredibly difficult to top
Right, but it's the Year of the Hater. People are gonna try, you never know.
Have truth just start calling him Stardust constantly and saying he looks like this new guy Cody who’s the champ and if he sees him to let him know. Then have Cody snap.
Who would have thought the Homelander heel turn would come from R-Truth of all people?
Us apparently
Have R-Truth take the Stardust gimmick and claim it was always him lol "Me and my brother Goldust were tag champs!"
I didn't know I wanted Truth to do the Hard Times promo word-for-word, apropos of nothing, until this moment.
"... And that's HARD TIMES, Daddy!" Miz, visibly exasperated yet not at all surprised: "Truth, I asked if you wanted a hard lemonade."
He has to make a few changes just to make it his own. Maybe he's the son of Amanda Plummer
He’s going to do Steiner Math when he fights Bron Breaker isn’t he?
Truth being a Ralph Wiggum version of Cody where every aspect of the gimmick is juuuuuuust a bit wrong sounds fun.
StaR-Truth I need this.
Cody and Punk showdown at the Rumble, when Truths music hits. He comes to the ring, looks around, and talks about how excited he is to be All Elite.
Cody snapping like homer: "CODY RHODES, MY NAME IS CODY RHODES"
Frank Grimes
Nah, I was referencing the "who killed Mr burns?" Chapter. You were thinking of "look everyone, I'm homer Simpsons, I don't need safety gloves because Im homer Simpsons"
The pop when Truth’s music hit when Cody is in the ring is gonna be crazy lmao
I can’t help but love the fact that our World Champion is obsessing over a grudge he’s got with a lower mid-carder who has a ton of talent. It shows that if done right, he could easily elevate R-Truth into the main event scene with a good program. I’m sure it’s not what’s going on, but man, I would love to see Cody vs R-Truth at a PLE for the title. So much potential for a good fun time.
I mean, R Truth main evented Survivor Series against John Cena and The Rock. It took them 22 minutes to beat him.
Feels like good secondary PLE fodder, maybe MITB as the opener or second from end before the men's ladder.
Yeah, maybe name it something like Capitol Punishment
R Truth should’ve won the tournament that mysterio won when Punk left in 2011
This reads to me as Cody wanting to give Ron a world title shot.
Of course it is, but the kayfabe of him just having an irrational grudge against Truth is way more funny. Truth seems broadly respected backstage.
Oh, absolutely. I was just speaking beyond the surface level kayfabe.
I remember the entire roster held a happy birthday for him once. Dude must be one of the most beloved backstage for sure.
"I wanted to just kick him in the face at that moment too and I wasn't even in the company then" - Cody "Cody" Rhodes
truth more than deserves a world reign as a send off could break merch sale records too
I'd imagine it would be more of a "Truth surprises everyone with how far he pushes Cody" type deal, and he still eats a pin. But I don't disagree!
when Cody turns heel, it should be by attacking R Truth
Pharaoh mauling the living shit out of Lil Jimmy.
What this reads to me is that he wants to give back to R. Truth so damn much that he wants to build him up and give him one last good run at the title. Hell, I'd love it if Cody's heel turn was at the hands of R. Truth.
The real story was Cody wanting to win the NWA title to be able to match reigns with R-Truth lol
On the one hand, it's awesome that Truth was the first ever black NWA Champion. On the other, it's sad that didn't happen until the early 2000s
Eh. The NWA pretty much died around the 90s so Ron Simmons winning the Big Gold Belt was virtually the same thing.

It ain't a racism thing, it ain't a color thing! It's a he kicking Truth's ass thing!
Would Cody bringing back the Stardust gimmick for a one-off just to beat the shit out of R-Truth put him in contention for hater of the year or not?
I pray for one Stardust appearance. It will happen eventually.
Imagine Stardust mixed with his American flag design, flag face paint. Something like Star Spangled as a finisher or some shit.
[No need to imagine...](https://www.reddit.com/r/WWE/comments/suoe4p/if_cody_returned_as_stardust_in_2022/)
Well there it is
Omfg amazing
I wouldn't mind him painting half his face as a nod to his brother. It's like poetry.
If Cody were to bring back Stardust as a one-off he needs ring gear modeled after Stardust The Super Wizard, Cody even looks a lot like the guy as is
So what he's saying is we're getting Cody vs Truth for the next Mania.
I've never bought a wrestlers autobiography but hot damn, I would buy Truth's in a second
First chspter has to be a random story like he wrote a drama or something
This is almost gonna get us a title defense on TV isn't it
You were the chosen one! You were supposed to defeat racism, not embrace it!
...Cody is gonna do a Truth match just for the meme, isn't he...
1- Drew McIntyre 2- Candice Larea 3- Live Morgan 4- Chad Gable 5- Cody Rhodes 6- Carmello Hayes All haters. Love em Edit: added Melo
Gotta get Carmelo Hayes in there too, my guy gaslit Trick Williams for months in believing that Melo wasn't responsible for costing him opportunities. And then when he revealed that he was behind it all, he was hamming it up at every opportunity.
Seth too
Cuppa hataaaas? Man imagine Enzo in the modern show
If you want to add AEW wrestlers, you can add Cage too
Dijak??
Cody Rhodes buries himself with this awful take, brother. Next year we are getting Truthmania against Rhodes and that’s how the story will finish
Cody ended racism just so that he could bust it back out against Truth.
Cody must purge his racism onto one person, in order to keep racism away another year.

r/truth would say this is not what's up!
Imagine if this is what leads to Cody's actual heel turn.
Planting the seeds for next year's three stages of hell buried Inferno/Hell In a Cell/Buried Alive WM main event for the Undisputed title between those two.
It'd be funny if Cody kept trying to offer Truth a title shot just to beat the shit out of him, only for Truth to repeatedly miss the point/get derailed to the detriment of the increasingly irate American Nightmare.
I would love it if Cody had a descent into madness and went heel because of Truth.
Even if it's just for a night, I'd love them to run that match and have R- truth become champ.
Story ain't finished. https://preview.redd.it/w2lh5hnip5zc1.jpeg?width=818&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c99020f49d2d3635d26c2303a2cd0515dbc1bb96
Book it. Cody Rhodes vs R Truth WrestleMania 41 in Lyon.
Truth vs Cody at Summerslam? XD
R-Truth vs Cody at SummerSlam. Let's go!
Have Cody and Truth ever interacted on screen? Like it would be great character development if for some reason have an unreasonable hate for him
It turns out beating Roman wasn’t the story he needed to finish. 😂
I so want cody’s first heel antic to be booting R-truth in the face. IMAGINE the heat.
codylander vs nwa truth would be a match for the ages
Lol wouldnt it be nice to see Cody go Stardust gimmick for this one
I don't know. That seems undashing.
woooooaaaaahhh
which woah?
I do like how we're probably going to get this match as a random TV main event over the summer.
I enjoy how Cody can be honest of his petty nature at times. That boy has been holding onto something for a while.
pretty sure Kenta would like to kick Cody in the face after that bs on Saturday
Lolo
How To Become an Instant Top Heel 101
... we're gonna get R-Truth vs. Cody Rhodes for the WWE Championship at some point, aren't we?
He's 50. Doesn't move like it and to be honest, if he can keep going until he's 60, he can easily prolong his career via being R-truth. The only downside to him being in WWE is we aren't getting R-Truthausen.
Next Summer slam Main Event: Cody vs R-TRUTH 🤣
Sounds like a heel to me
is this mofo actively trying to turn heel rn?
Why does this story keep resurfacing every couple days on here? There’s been videos, montage clips, links to where he said this… we get it. What’s the point of rehashing this again? The conversation has been had multiple times on various subreddits for a week now.
I wanted to kick him in the face when he defended a sex trafficker
Rtruth needs a mark Henry style monster heel run before he retires
What qualities of a monster does R-truth have? It wouldn’t make sense
Let's just give him a foreign heel gimmick
It doesn’t have to make sense lol
[удалено]
Yes, there is video of the interview that was posted on here within the last week.
WHY HAS THIS SHIT BEEN POSTED LIKE 6 TIMES THIS WEEK.
Cody should stop talking.
R Truth is basically a minstrel act and it's shameful
I want there to be a wrinkle in Cody’s character where, while he’s otherwise a generationally beloved face, he behaves like a vile heel towards Truth.
Imagine at like a survior series where the baby faces win and their all celbrating and Cody just sour the enteire time.next to truth
He can't stand the fact Truth was a better NWA Champion than him.
Cody treating R-Truth like Flip Gordon on BTE is the best possible scenario.
Where do you think **youre going**?
Like how hogan was a pure babyface, but also threatened to hit the ref any time he told him to stop choking a guy an doing back rakes
Like the WWE version of him vs Flip Gordon
They are planting seeds for the dankest timeline ever: Cody losing the belt to R Truth, gives Truth his flowers with a short transitional run with the belt and allows Cody to drop the belt while staying a baby face because Truth is so beloved. Then the heel who takes the belt from Truth will have nuclear heat. Could even do all of this in one night. Like open the show with title match, then later Truth gets so excited to be champ he schedules a belt defense that same night and loses the match and the belt lol.
