I just can’t get behind Cody getting this sort of push as a face OR a heel right now. I know that there are even smart people who think a heel turn will be awesome, but because of the nature of the AEW audience, I just don’t think it’s going to work:
* If they do it with subtlety like they just did, then it doesn’t amount to the same thing as an obvious heel turn. It’s just that John Cena level only with a much smaller star.
* If they do it on-the-nose, the performances are likely to be hammy and the audience will likely cotton on. I can see his reactions either dying or turning into cheers.
* Because the AEW gauges based on performance, I think that the perception of where Cody should be is a large part of the problem. He’s got go-away heat.
