WWE Hall of Famer says fans might turn on Cody Rhodes if current SmackDown star is left out of the picture
WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley has expressed that fans might turn on Cody Rhodes if Sami Zayn is left out of the main storyline going into WrestleMania 39.
The Bloodline's former Honorary Uce is currently scheduled to face Roman Reigns at Elimination Chamber for the coveted Undisputed WWE Universal Championship in his hometown of Montreal. He became a fan favorite after splitting from the group and is one of the top babyfaces right now in the entire company.
Speaking on the latest edition of Foley is Pod, Mick Foley stated that WWE should be very careful with how they book Sami Zayn. He explained that fans might take their frustrations out on Cody Rhodes if Sami's match against Roman is his last program with The Tribal Chief.
"WWE has to be really careful with, you know, how they treat what they have in Sami Zayn. So, if it's a one-off, I think fans would be upset and subconsciously take that out of Cody. So, I think it's really important that Sami be treated reverently by the people in charge because that's, we call him the gift that keeps on giving. We want him to keep on giving. You don't want this title shot to be like, the peak of his storyline and then soon forgotten," said Foley. [Wrestling Inc.]
"I have respect for my friend @SamiZayn. I wish you the best of luck. May the best man win."
