The notion of the “People’s Title,” as a contingency plan, further emphasizes WWE’s commitment to maintaining flexibility in its narrative arcs, ensuring that they remain compelling and adaptable depending on various factors, such as audience reception and wrestler availability.
As Cody continues his reign amid these intricacies, the future holds intriguing possibilities for his character and storyline development.

This strategic ambiguity and planning result in a richer, more suspenseful experience for WWE fans, who remain eagerly tuned in to see how Cody’s journey unfolds. Whether his reign continues beyond the anticipated timeline or gives way to new storylines, one thing is certain: Cody Rhodes will likely remain a central figure in WWE’s dynamic landscape, delivering thrilling performances and compelling stories along the way.
