At one point, the story was right there. The crowd reactions were changing, the tension was building, and the perfect moment for a shocking turn was sitting in front of everyone. But it's not happening.

In this episode, Alex Al-Kazzaz, aka The Bear of Texas, makes the case that WWE missed the perfect opportunity to turn Cody Rhodes heel. From fan reactions to storyline timing and the larger direction of the company, he acknowledges the moment where the story could have taken a completely different path...at WrestleMania!
