In furthering evaluating the Rhodes-GUNTHER faceoff, Dreamer compared the ways in which GUNTHER and Rhodes — heel and babyface, respectively — conveyed their messages. While both men told the truth, Dreamer points out that Rhodes sounded more intense in doing so.

"Right now, our heels are all telling the truth, and there's not a deviation from it or a twisted form of reality. They're really stating how they feel. And my babyfaces are being a little bit more aggressive in their truths towards my heels, but my heels are saying rightful things," Dreamer said. "And this is where I say this part sometimes worries me because yes, when everything is going great and you don't really start to think about it because you could get away with a lot of things. However, it could cost you.

"I'm going to point out a lot of times tonight [on the podcast] where I was just like, 'These are the people I root for?' Cody was not that case. Cody's promo was excellent. His tone is a little bassier in his voice, which I get, but what he said to GUNTHER was real."

Regarding GUNTHER's verbal delivery, Dreamer suggested that he could have also ventured down the self-serving route, as opposed to highlighting Rhodes' successes in WWE. Specifically when GUNTHER referred to Rhodes as the company "quarterback," Dreamer believes he could have instead questioned the legitimacy of the statement, rather than accepting it.

Rhodes and GUNTHER will soon meet again at WWE Crown Jewel, though this time they will battle over the newly-minted WWE Crown Jewel Championship.
