#4 Cody beats Shawn Spears

One of the better storylines will play out in the match between Cody and Spears.

As the roster currently sits, only about a 40% of it are legit stars regardless of the promotion for which they wrestle. Cody Rhodes is one as are Omega, Moxley and Chris Jericho. Shawn Spears, albeit an underutilized talent in his other home, hasn't gained the level of stardom that the aforementioned stars have.

It would make complete and total sense for Cody to get his revenge on his former friend at All Out. He's the sympathetic figure in the storyline and Spears has been cast as the jilted former friend due to being called a "good hand".

Cody is already protected due to his status in both the industry and the company. He's already won a match and is someone who doesn't lose much by falling in matches. Spears is someone who could be a bigger deal if he both beats Cody and goes on a little winning streak in the early stages of the promotion.

He's not a bonafide star and a loss to Cody would undue the fabulous storytelling that has been done in this feud. Simply put, Spears needs to win this match more than Cody and that's exactly what should happen.
