Cody Rhodes & CM Punk get into it after WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event
Cageside Seats • • entertainment
Key Points:
- The WWE title feud between CM Punk and Cody Rhodes has been criticized for lacking intensity, as it currently plays out as a face vs. face rivalry without a clear villain, posing challenges for WWE's creative team.
- Small moments of tension and friction have surfaced between the former AEW teammates, such as disagreements over show entrances and a controversial belt flick incident, hinting at possible character shifts.
- Following a match on Saturday Night’s Main Event, Rhodes confronted Punk backstage about the belt flick to the eye, leading to a heated exchange that required separation by other wrestlers and was fully documented by WWE.
- These developments suggest WWE may be building toward a more direct confrontation or a potential heel turn for either Punk or Rhodes as SummerSlam approaches, aiming to inject more heat into the storyline.
- Fans are invited to weigh in on whether the feud needs a true villain and if a character turn would enhance the rivalry ahead of their SummerSlam WWE title match.
