WWE News: Cody Rhodes vs. Big Show Reportedly Continuing Through No Way Out

Over the last few months, Cody Rhodes and The Big Show have been embroiled in one of the biggest rivalries on SmackDown. This rivalry has seen Big Show end Rhodes’ eight-month long Intercontinental Championship run at WrestleMania 28, Show have one of the worst IC title reigns ever and Rhodes regain the belt just over a week ago at Extreme Rules. 

The beef between Show and Rhodes started way back at Elimination Chamber in February, and it is nearing its three-month mark later this month. But it doesn’t look like it’s going to end anytime soon. 

As we’re about to find out, Show vs. Rhodes is expected to continue well into next month.

The feud over the Intercontinental championship between Cody Rhodes and the Big show is expected to culminate at next Month’s No Way Out pay-per-view.

WWE’s angle on RAW this week with Cody Rhodes running away from the Big Show and getting counted out is setting the stage for a cage match where Cody can’t escape and has to go toe-to-toe with the 7 foot giant.

No, WWE. Please, no. Don’t do this to me. 

As I’m sure you know by now, I have absolutely hated this rivalry between Show and Rhodes. While I liked it at first, because Rhodes was the one being booked strongly, it’s taken a turn for the worse ever since WrestleMania 28. Rhodes has been looked like a loser and a coward, while Big Show has been booked far too strongly. 

I despise the fact that the 40-year-old Big Show is essentially burying the 26-year-old Rhodes when it should be the other way around. But what I really hate is that their matches haven’t been any good either. 

I could put up with this feud if we actually got some great matches between the two, but their match at WrestleMania was well below average, and their Extreme Rules match was a four-minute joke. 

Why anyone in the WWE thinks it’s a good idea to extend this feud even through Over the Limit, much less No Way Out, is beyond me. 

This feud has sucked, it still sucks and it’s going to continue to suck. Its only saving grace will be if Rhodes destroys Show at No Way Out. But we, of course, know that isn’t going to happen.
