WAS SOLO PINNING CODY THE RIGHT DECISION?

Do yall have a problem with solo pinning Cody

[@flybirdsfly2091]

No because i had bloodline 2.0 winning that match

[@KDB349]

No. Can't say i have a problem with it. I mean I don't care for the bloodline regardless but I see what they're doing. Its to get Solo over or to legitimize him rather.

[@Vic4vendetta]

nope

[@thetruej7872]

No because it's telling a story. Solo Sikoa pinned the WWE Champion Cody Rhodes. Now most likely at Summer Slam Cleveland, we're gonna get Solo vs Cody for the WWE Title, where I'm pretty sure Roman Reigns is gonna make his grand return.

[@davidjr5223]

No

[@zedo0]

Ross, ignore these idiots. They couldn't book a match far less a flight.

[@CodeSiber]

@@zedo0 Just because someone dislikes a decision doesn't mean they can't create something that others will enjoy. Personally, I wasn't impressed with the result. Solo feels like a watered-down version of Roman Reigns, lacking the aura of being threatening since he hasn't won a match in a while until now.

[@ChrisJerico2]

I’d argue yes for a few reasons. 1. Solo needed a big win to justify a match with Cody at SummerSlam. He had to pin either Orton or Cody. 2. Cody for the last 4 months has been a house of fire. He needed some form of loss to keep fans from getting to Super Cena/Bianca levels of “here we go again”. 3. Puts over Jacob Fatu and the new bloodline like a million bucks. Which was the entire point of the match. Cody’s pinned Roman, Brock, current world champion Priest, and Rollins 3 times. He can 100% take this loss without looking week.

[@DamnWhoAsked]

The thing I find most hilarious about this whole situation is the sea of IWC warriors that would clown Cody all day everyday for never appearing weak and always winning. First it was they can’t stand that he’s winning all the time, and now they can’t stand that he took the pin and lost for the sake of a storyline? I mean which one is it?

[@kaitlyngreen6675]

[@Benjaminokechukwu-okeke]

But solo needed tanga loa and jacob fatu to pin cody so he is also a joke too he literally also cheated so what do u mean bro

[@FritaLay]

The decision was right imo. My guess is Solo is going to have the Bloodline help him try to win at SummerSlam against Cody and maybe that’s when Roman Reigns returns.

[@imanerdcort1773]

This is why I felt that the Money in the Bank was SLIGHTLY wasted….my idea would have been that Jey wins MITB then wait till Summerslam and have Solo WIN the WWE Championship with the help of his Bloodline and post match is when Roman returns and beats everyone up, Jey swoops in and cashes in to win the WWE Championship, giving fans their very wanted singles title run on Jey and it also puts him back in the Bloodline story

I don’t have a problem of it at all because we know most likely it’s gonna be Solo vs Rhodes at Summerslam for the undisputed universal championship. How do you build Solo to look strong? You have him pin Cody Rhodes it’s simple if you have anyone feud with each other you can just make only one person look strong you have to equally make both strong. Also the New Bloodline needed this victory and when ever the new Bloodline feud with Reigns you can have Solo be like too Roman “Hey I did something you didn’t do this year and that’s beat & Pinned Cody Rhodes”

[@kadharefinley224]

Yeah that was the right decision. We all know Cody and Solo is happening at SummerSlam, and Bloodline 2.0 are gonna of course interfere to set up Roman to return at the end of the show which will AMAZING

[@GlobalEnigma64]

It’s a 6 man cluster match and Jacob assisted Solo in taking Cody out. This was the only way Solo could get a match against Cody by having the “I pinned you” factor. Cody is just fine. Roman and Drew pinned Cody but it wasn’t a clean finish. Rock and Solo pinned Cody but it was in a tag team melee. Just let the storyline crockpot its magic.

[@Chetanp1445]

I dont have a problem with him being pinned but i wish it would’ve taken atleast 3 samoan spikes, i think Cody, Roman, Gunther and Maybe Seth (after mania where he kicked out of like 5 claymores with 2 torn ligaments in his knee and a broken back) need to ultra protected so i wish it wouldve taken a bit more but no problem with the decision

[@legendxd1295]

In my opinion, yes it was the right decision. 1. It adds heat onto The Bloodline and it allows their momentum to keep going to build them up as the most dangerous faction since adding the Samoan Werewolf Jacob Fatu and taking out The Wiseman, Paul Heyman. 2. Solo can now challenge Cody Rhodes for the Championship at Summerslam and state that he did in fact pin Cody in their tag match at MITB and that he’s deserving of a Championship match. 3. If The Bloodline had lost the 6 man tag match, then it would’ve killed that momentum they had going

[@Wrestling_fan2003]

I agree with the decision for Solo pinning Cody and I like the new Bloodline but I also think Solo is missing something in his character and needs a bit more work. I’m still interested in seeing Cody vs Solo especially since at summerslam it’s gonna be a big test for Solo if he can hang in the main event picture at a major PLE. We’ll see what happens.

[@patrickimperial579]

[@ShaunInce123]

Solo needed a win, especially since they want to establish this new Bloodline as a threat. He was losing a lot prior to this. We all know this match at Summerslam is happening to set up a Roman Reigns return.

[@ALXStarfish97]

Honestly, I think they made the right choice. If you wanna build up Solo as a top level threat to Cody, there's no better way of doing that than to have him pin Cody. Besides, he wasn't pinned clean since it was a lot of shenanigans with Jacob Fatu and the rest of the Bloodline, so either way Cody doesn't looked buried, and Solo looks strong since not that many people can say they have beaten Cody since he returned to WWE.

[@allanteetheridge4689]

[@lifewithjaz21]

[@Ringking-ws7bz]

Letting Solo Pin Cena a a big event and now Cody getting Pinned as well. I personally feel like he is getting a too fast a push do people remember how long roman reigns had to be in the shield to get a push. But Solo a lacky getting a push when his older brothers been in wwe for 12 years to get solo pushes. Its a mistake to make Cody need to be pinned by a a B or C version of Roman on his worst day. Jacobe seems more a monster that will be a bigger push to have vs Solo

First and foremost, I hope you and your loved ones are safe, Ross.

It wouldn't have made sense if Solo lost now he looks strong heading into SummerSlam,it was the right call

Right move. It’ll play into Roman vs Solo’s bloodline. Solo will have bragging rights by telling Roman that he’s pinned Cody clean (even though Jacob did all the work) and the only time Roman could beat Cody was when he needed his help at WM39 (Solo’s interference)

I agree. For Solo to win it helps push his role as Tribal Chief. At the same time it takes a shot at Roman because Solo did something Roman didn’t and that was pin Cody.

[@jonathan.s993]

@MrKP525 exactly solo deserves this recognition specially as a heel cody is a great Babyface but he needs great heel to dance with figuratively speaking. this will definitely boost solo up he really needs it they need to make him a dominant force and by no means does this hurt Cody's momentum but it actually increases it because the trials help build his babyface roll even in this situation it works for Cody and Solo.

[@MrKP525]

@@jonathan.s993 yeah, definitely I see what you mean. I think a lot of people in this includes myself got stuck on the idea of Roman’s bloodline because it was around for so long that the idea of a new bloodline is going to take some time before fans really start taking it seriously. On SmackDown last night Solo was starting to do a lot of the like facial expressions that Roman did during promos were he kind of smirks or looks to the side when he’s annoyed. So I’m starting to see Solo be more vocal on the mic and in his expressions which I think is a great step forward for him in being the head of the bloodline. I think some more wins for Solo will really help boost his status as tribal chief and fans will start to get more invested into him. Do you think that Roman will return at SummerSlam then? I guess it makes sense he would because it’s a big PLE and I can’t see WWE having Roman return on SmackDown or a smaller PLE.

[@chaysemorrow4456]

I admittedly didn't like Cody being the one to take the pin. However, I do understand why they would go that route. With Solo pinning Cody, that should put Solo in the running to challenge for the WWE Undisputed title against Cody. We all know it's going to be Gunther vs Damian Priest at SummerSlam, Cody is going to need an opponent and it would make sense for it to be Solo and for that to be the reason why Roman Reigns returns.
