That’s awesome. The entire WWE seems legitimately happy for Cody.

I'd better see it on the A&E show where Mick Foley barters for it.

There was a lot of narrative cohesion in that match that I didn't pick up on having only watched intermittently since 2010 or so.
Seth, who turned on the Shield and cost Roman at 31 comes out in Shield gear, and when Roman has the chance to finish Cody with the chair, he turns and hits him in the same spot Seth hit him. Seth falls the same way Roman did when betrayed, and that delay allows Cody to recover enough to counter and finish him. Thus, Seth's initial betrayal creates a need for Roman to surround himself with blood, act as a dictator, but when faced with the biggest threat to his reign, he chooses vengeance, which costs him the title. That's as sophisticated an arc as I've seen them do by a fair margin.

Plus, Cody tried multiple times to hit Roman with the Triple Cross Rhodes.
Even at Mania 39. Then Roman said you can’t beat anyone with that move when he used it on Cody. Cody finally got Roman with it and won. So, Cody didn’t beat Roman with something he’d kicked out of before. Little details like that really help.

The only question I have is what do you do with Gunther? Trade Orton over to RAW so Gunther can get the rub of winning a feud against Orton?

I’d kind of like to see Randy go after Cody but that’s just me.

Doesn’t do much for Gunther, since he’s probably ready to chase a higher title. US title is probably a baby step down from the inter continental title. Gunther vs Priest could be fun.

Bron Breakker probably isn't going to go after any major title until Wrestlemania 41. Honestly, he probably should've been the one to dethrone Gunther.

Gunther’s reign ending is really an afterthought right now. Summerslam would’ve been better.

Always seems to pan out that way at least. Have an emotional climax at each Wrestlemania with a 0 (Benoit and Guerrero, Daniel Bryan, and now Cody Rhodes), and then each Wrestlemania with a 1 they strap the rocket to the next generation of main eventers (Cena and Batista, Reigns and Rollins)

Nah. Nothing against Gunther, but he tops out as a secondary world title kind of guy. Maybe a program with Cody but that's it. As fun as he is to watch as a wrestler there's just not much I can see them doing to make him the lead horse.

Really good interview here. Actually acknowledges AEW a lot more than I thought he would, and a certain someone as well.
