Can totally see a Dolph Ziggler like career

[@BigMike_HD]

If Cody doesn’t leave wwe. I don’t think the pro wrestling world is the same as it is now. Maybe the bucks and omega get AEW off the ground, but if not for Cody I don’t think AEW is in the position it currently is. Plus I don’t think many more people leave wwe.

[@trillytwotimes]

That’s exactly what he just said in the video lol. But yes I agree.

[@tomseville2345]

We would never have got AEW, as it was that tweet accepting a "friendly bet" from Dave Meltzer that set the idea in motion. And many WWE-exclusive fans would be happy with the WWE of 2017 - mid-2022 (and early '23) UNTIL THE END OF TIME...

[@travismiller4320]

How about “What if Curtain Call never happened, when Nash and Hall left for WCW”

[@CharlieMyrkr]

He’d be back in NXT as Stardust jobbing to rookies

[@yzfr620032]

This is the pro wrestling equivalent of the 'what if Hitler got accepted into art school' question.

[@GLJosh]

Favorite Non-WWE Cody Rhodes match, NWA 70 2 out of 3 falls NWA Title Match against Nick Aldis (All In Rematch).

[@peterreine2917]

His career would’ve continued to die a slow and agonizing death and make him retire in disgrace.

[@James.chalmers]

I disagree… would maybe even have won money in the bank and a world championship

[@peterreine2917]

@@James.chalmers there was no coming back from stardust, he had to leave and rebuild

[@urbaindelva7869]

I don't see any scenario where Cody does not leave WWE. At the time he left, he was pigeonholed as Stardust, and the company would not let him break away from that. Who knows how long it would've been before they finally did? Whether by his own choice or theirs, I think that his WWE departure was inevitable.

[@jackchong5324]

Also, we would never have seen a legend like Sting get their proper respect and send off that they deserved.

[@FrostWazowski]

We also wouldn't have gotten the wish version of mankind nearly killing himself by jumping through a glass shower door laid on 2 rows of chairs.
I say it would have been better if we hadn't.

[@johnalbent]

You're a legend, my friend.
Great point to make!

[@trillytwotimes]

[@Jamal-bl7yh]

What If ??? I Never Quit WWE In 2008 Well here's the gist of It no 11 year MMA no long running stint with The CW Network no desire for finding Obscure '90s & '80s films and found alot of them more than before to be exact now crazy and that's It

[@Dr_1212]

He.d still be Stardust

[@RikuNamako]

The logo on Stardust's costume was ripped off from Rockstar Energy Drink.

[@Lt_Chloe]

But it's just a star

[@Canrugger]

We would have never had adrenaline….in our souls… lol

[@Canrugger]

I would actually say Drew leaving influenced Cody to leave

[@kalarse]

the good entrance lyrics puns

[@Mike6BITW]

Such a shame that the video is only 5 minutes long and then you end it with the outro.. I can't be the only one frustrated with this shyt

[@KurtCrockenberg]

He would have a Dolph Ziggler like career or being Stardust being a Jobber on WWE NXT or WWE Main Event. You should do more What ifs like what if Triple H never married Stephanie McMahon, What if Bret Hart never left WWE for WCW or What if Bret Hart Joined D-X and what if Triple H married Chyna and other various what ifs or What if John Cena Turned Heel? or What if Dean Ambrose Turned Heel in 2014 or 2015 or 2016 or 2017 or 2018 and what if Roman Reigns Turned Heel in 2014 or 2015 or 2016 or 2017 or 2018 or 2019 or February 2020 not August 24th or 25th 2020 and various other what ifs?

[@Zerfoking]

He would probably get roster cut and end up building his own legacy instead

[@sonic5993]

He would have been released long after it would have mattered

[@PLAYSTATIONSQWAD]

Cody verses Kenny Omega in New Japan.

[@skspawn]

Nearly ten minutes of padding before the video really started 🙄

[@random_vat]

This guy makes the worst content. Probably that's why they don't take him to any event and let him just do shityy videos

[@nicholasthomas6407]

The nwa world title match with nick aldis at all in

[@KurtCrockenberg]

and What if Drew McIntyre was never fired/released in June 12th 2014 or what if Jinder Mahal was never fired/released in June 12th 2014 and what if Heath Slater was never fired/released in 2020. April 2020 or what if Jinder Mahal was never fired/released in April 20th 2024 and what if Zack Ryder never quit WWE in March 9th 2020 and what if Curt Hawkins was never fired/released in June 12th 2014 and what if Curt Hawkins was never fired/released in April 2020 and other various What Ifs?

[@supermarroman9120]

Cody vs Dustin

[@nickysturzu1290]

Favourite match of Cody's outside WWE...hmm...I'd say Cody vs Dustin at Double or Nothing 2019

[@weRnd1000]

AEW wouldn’t exist or wouldn’t be a liable competitor

[@FrostWazowski]

Pro wrestling would be a much better place. We wouldnt have an unfit joke of a champion right now. Jobberdust couldnt even come up with his own nickname.

[@jerryjanik480]

Cody v Dustin DON2019

[@georgedunnells50]

He’d still be a nobody
Sees gareth, ends video

[@angelomorales7800]

He’d have been fired by now lol probably within a year or tricked

[@akunwanneprosper7016]

This is what we scrapped NXT ups and downs for?

[@SheldonNator]

We wouldn't have to watch him cheat our Tribal Chief out of the Undisputed Universal Heavyweight Championship

[@MrSHADOWANGEL999]

It had to be the way it was

[@akunwanneprosper7016]

He was just lucky and Rhodes son

[@HighHeelKnight]

I miss "Dashing" Cody Rhodes.
I always got a kick out of that gimmick. 😁🪞

[@GLJosh]

Un-Dashing worked quite well too.
