Cody has been involved in many notable feuds over the year including a feud with his former stablemate Kenny Omega.

This resulted in the two finally clashing at the G1 Special in San Fransisco when Cody challenged Kenny Omega for the IWGP Heavyweight Championship. Both wrestlers fought an exciting match with Kenny Omega coming out on top.

Cody then went on to successfully challenged Nick Aldis for his NWA World Heavyweight Championship at All In. On October 24, Cody turned a few heads by announcing that he would no longer be a part of Bullet Club.

2019 could prove to be an exciting year for Cody since he is no longer part of Bullet Club. In fact, with no alliance holding him back, Cody could very well become an IWGP Heavyweight Champion next year.

If ever given a chance to change a storyline, Sunil would have booked Roman Reigns to end The Undertaker’s WrestleMania streak instead of Brock Lesnar. According to him, The Tribal Chief needed the victory more than Brock Lesnar, as the latter was already an established performer when he defeated ‘Taker. He would’ve also made that as Taker’s final match.
