I think people expecting some concrete calculus like an ELO or something to determine wins and the value of those wins is expecting something unrealistic in a scripted sport.

I'm fine with Darby vs Havoc for a title shot because it's not like it's a marquee show or anything. A world title match IS a big deal, but it's not like this is the main event of Wrestlemania or anything. And while there are arguably people with better records and strength of schedule (Pac, primarily), Cody's explanation is fine, especially since they don't have a long history of matches to go off of as of yet.

It's not like some WWE situations where a dude loses ten out of fifteen matches and then beats the champ with a roll-up in a non-title match and is suddenly in the title picture.
