Cody Rhodes Gets Completely Savage At Zack Ryder On Twitter
Cody Rhodes is nearing the end of 2017, a year that he seemingly owned both in and out of the ring. And despite dropping the Ring Of Honor World Championship to Dalton Castle, Cody is going out a winner with a savage Twitter win over Zack Ryder.
This week the Internet Wrestling Community “celebrated” the six year anniversary of a picture when all of their favorites held WWE championships. CM Punk and Daniel Bryan were world champions at the time, along with Cody holding the Intercontinental Championship and Ryder holding its United States counterpart.
Here is the picture in question…

Cody told a story about how the picture made it to Twitter, but wasn’t supposed to…
Punk “this is not for Twitter…just for us”
…2 seconds after this picture was taken, Ryder put it on Twitter https://t.co/O5aBQz3Gok

However, Cody was inaccurate, as pointed out to him by Zack Ryder. Cody owned up to it—and completely OWNED Ryder in the process…
My story is actually inaccurate. Punk tweeted it. Just now Zack asked me to apologize and then told me to “fuck off”
I just prefer the version where Zack did it https://t.co/ccn82OpdS4

So not only does Cody out Zack Ryder for how he handled the situation, he then gives zero fucks himself by saying he still likes the story where Ryder is the one who screwed it all up!
It was basically this, all over again:
This could easily be a rib, as I am sure Cody knows Zack Ryder has the following to pull off what Cody has in the past year if he were to leave WWE himself. Either way, we are left with two things: one amazing twitter exchange between Cody Rhodes and Zack Ryder, and a great memory of one hell of a lineup of champions in WWE in late 2011.
2017: Cody wins.

My Thoughts:
Nothing too crazy, nothing too wild, this tournament only just got started. The only disappointing point is that they could not get Bryan “cleared to compete” Saturday night. Not sure how much of that is shoot given the bad eye, but this was kinda the problem of wanting him in the tournament over tons of other choices. Bryan wants to face Okada for WrestleKingdom 18, how is Bryan supposed to do that at his best if he’s also gonna be in a round robin, doing five top level matches in about as many weeks? And it takes away from Andrade being able to do something. Also a little surprised we didn’t even hear from Andrade on Saturday.
Now as we heard on Saturday, round two’s matches are set. Gold League will see Mark Briscoe VS Rush, White VS Swerve, and of course, Moxley VS Lethal. Nice variety there, a couple 0-1 guys facing off, as well as two 1-0 guys, and then 1-0 VS 0-1. No offense to Lethal, but he feels like an 0-2 going up against Moxley. Hard to call the other ones but that’s the fun of it. Meanwhile, Blue League sees Brody VS Claudio in a showdown to be 2-0, then Bryan and Andrade finally jump in, Bryan against Eddie and Andrade against Garcia. Sadly, feels like Eddie and Garcia are going 0-2, no way Tony Khan is booking Bryan and Andrade to lose their first shots.
In fact, that could be half the reason they did wait on those two, that’s almost too good for just a first round opener. But I still would’ve done it, same as NJPW does stuff like that for round robins, which this is all modeled after anyway.
