Maybe I am wrong and LolWWE.
I think you can cut it either way. I also think we are all mostly in agreement with what would be the sensible route to take, we differ on “benefit of the doubt”.

Personally, I can’t move past “I can’t trust WWE to get it right” due to the overwhelming evidence that supports it, whereas I think you’re more inclined to give them the benefit.

I think Cody’s current presentation works for WWE for the very reason you state, but I’d wager some (maybe all?) of that is what Cody wants and most likely has in his contract. Will they want to continue to licence his theme in 3-6 months time? Maybe that’s part of his deal but I wouldn’t be surprised to see that change. I think if Vince had it his way he’d want to put his fingerprints all over Cody, in the same vein as all the needless name changes we’ve had for NXT call ups.

It’s fine - preferable even - if I’m wrong on this.
