it’s kind of insane, that the same people who complain about the product, very evidently just…. do not actually pay attention to, or actually view the product.. like what are we even saying. how is this “out of nowhere” when if you not only pay attention to every single person who’s betrayed cody, especially those who he looked up to as his mentors, and the effect that those betrayals, from his mentors, specifically, effected him, then you’d see why he’s at this point. and you’d also see how the “tension” has somewhat been building between these two, for quite a bit, as well. from the first interaction these two had on smackdown, when punk returned in 2023, to their promo before the 2024 rumble, the build to survivor series, and what happened during that match just last year, and then on, things have not always exactly been “oh, we’re forever besties who love each other and will never have any traces of animosity towards the other!” like cmon. please, for the love of god, think clearly before you speak lmao
