by Cody only wrestled a handful of matches this past year
You can say what you want about Roman Reigns light work schedule, but due to injury, Rhodes wasn’t exactly a workhorse either ( ZERO FAULT OF HIS OWN ). Sometimes that can work against a competitor and it did this time as WWE creative was worried that not enough of Rhodes has been built up over the last year because he missed so much time. They made the decision based on 3 wins over Rollins, a Royal Rumble victory and a win on RAW recently, simply not being enough to build a champion.
Again, I’m not sure I agree with this reasoning one bit, Rhodes was handed the cards he was dealt, and made them work when he could. If this is truly the reason, that is beyond dumb!
