Cody Rhodes Recovering After Controversial Exorcism
Cody is said to be recovering comfortably after enduring a controversial exorcism at the hands of the “Fallen Angel” Christopher Daniels.
On the latest episode of “Being the Elite”, the group concluded that Cody had become possessed, leading him to recite facts about WWE repeatedly. The Elite then decided to call in Daniels’ former “Fallen Angel” gimmick to give Cody an exorcism.
Matt Jackson provided the following description of the Fallen Angel to others on the show: “He’s the guy who has dealt with far worse evil spirits and demons of this Earth… named Vince Russo and Dixie Carter,” Matt Jackson said. “He’s the only guy who can perform this exorcism to save our friend, Cody.”
Daniels was quick to point out that Cody’s symptoms were some of the worst he’d ever seen. As Cody began to convulse, Daniels explained what was happening to the rest of the faction.
“(Cody’s got) the money-shakes,” Daniels said. “I haven’t seen them this bad since AJ debuted at the Royal Rumble.”
It was also revealed that the old WWF logo had been burned into Cody’s stomach.
“The Power of Crockett compels you!” Daniels shouted as Cody responded with more random WWE facts. Scorpio Sky forcefully made Cody swallow a handful of “Blue Chew”. Unfortunately, Brandi would later confirm the medication was not effective.
Finally, after Daniels read to Cody from the Young Bucks’ recently published children’s book, he declared “this house is clean.”
Cody still has a torn meniscus which will require surgery in early 2019. Daniels didn’t do anything about that.
Although this is just speculation, one could possibly assume Cody’s possession on the show is an analogy relating to WWE’s attempts to sign him and/or other members of the group. There is a sledgehammer/Excalibur analogy going on as well. The mysterious allusions to candy bars which Matt Jackson has been making in recent weeks did not make an appearance in this episode, however.
