Cody Rhodes has ascended to become the face of the WWE over the past year, and he remains incredibly well liked in the locker room.

Fightful Select offered some insight into how the crew backstage have reacted to The Rock’s return:

“Everyone that we heard back from understood the business implications of running the match, but believed it wasn’t a good decision for long-term WWE business. The Rock vs. Roman made sense several years ago when we were running back Roman and Lesnar repeatedly. It could have made sense this year had Cody won the title last year. This is one of the few years it just doesn’t make sense in any capacity,” one former world champion told Fightful.”

“A source in creative said that many on the team were deflated, and it felt like a decision they’d hear about being made under the previous regime at the expense of helping cultivate new crossover talent.”

Certain WWE talent are being incredibly open when it comes to their support for Rhodes, as US Champion, Logan Paul was sharing support for Rhodes across his Instagram story, and this weekend Paul tweeted:

“We want Cody”.

Logan has spoken out time and time again about how much he admires Rhodes, so this is ultimately a genuine reaction from Logan, which is great to see
