Cody (Rhodes) crossed a major item off his post-WWE “to do” list last night (June 23) in Lowell, Massachusetts at Best in the World when he pinned Christopher Daniels to claim the Ring of Honor (ROH) World championship.
It’s a booking decision that has some fans celebrating while others criticize Cody’s abilities and ROH’s decision to push a guy who was a mid-carder in Vince McMahon’s federation to the top of theirs.
Inside the world of wrestling, however, the public response has been universally positive for Dusty Rhodes’ youngest son.
Here’s a sampling:
Congratulations brother. Pops is smiling down right now. #WorldChamp #TheDreamLivesInCody . I love you. @CodyRhodes
