I thought the stipulation gave him a great opportunity to turn heel. Abuse his EVP status to give himself a title shot. But it seems like Cody wanted to be the whitebread babyface who closes out the show like his dad.
He's had a handful of long promos in the past year that made zero sense. Some people chalked it up to him doing some meta heel turn but it never happened. I think he wanted to be something in the company that he's not particularly good at. Maybe WWE gives him that chance since they are devoid of top babyfaces at the moment.
