Stars in Progress: Aces & Eights, Cody Rhodes, Sheamus vs Alberto Del Rio

Don't miss an all-new Voice of Wrestling show, hosted by me and Nick Paglino, live tomorrow night from 6:30-7:30 EST. In addition to the usual wrestling discussion, we'll also be joined by John Philapavage of the new Kickstarter project for a documentary on Extreme Championship Wrestling. And as always, I'll be back with VOW Reaction immediately following Raw as well. Visit VOWLive.com for details.

CODY RHODES – ONE STEP DOWNcody rhodes

I'm not near the fan of Cody Rhodes that some of you are, but even I can say that he's deserving of more than Sin Cara.

I'm a firm believer of wrestlers having a role or place within the company. Those roles change, for some. Cena will always be near the top, but Rhodes' status could vary from time to time.

A step back can be fine when it's short-lived, and followed by something more favorable. Rhodes' program with Sin Cara is already taking too long. What's next better be good for Rhodes once this is done.

Quick aside: It was fun to see Heath Slater get a win out of this feud. At least someone benefits. And Slater has turned into someone I don't necessarily look forward to each week, but enjoy when he's there.
