wwe fans haven’t seen someone actually work heel in years so it is no surprise the rock doing heel stuff is rivaling the MCU in storytelling

Roman Reigns has been a terrible and boring drag as champion for years and it's really funny if it all ends up being in service of the Rock swooping in and stealing every ounce of Roman's heat and then having Roman job to AEW co-founder Cody Rhodes.

counterpoint: there are fewer chances for roman to poo poo his doo doo rear end on the mic or in a match

Now that Rock is the Final Boss can Cody’s story even truly be called finished until he defends his new belt vs the Great One at Summerslam?

this was the rock after his mania match eleven years ago

quote:

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson tore his abdominal and abductor tendons off his pelvis during his headlining match against John Cena at Wrestlemania 29.

“Sometimes we pay the price.. Midway thru my Wrestlemania match I tore my Abdominal & Adductor tendons off my pelvis,” The Rock posted on Instagram. “Yup, that [expletive] hurt;). Thank U Dr Lee Kaplan & Univ of Miami medical staff & THANK YOU to the fans for all the love/well wishes! Rehab starts in 3..2..#bringit”

he would have to be made of metal to survive a match now

I'm glad you're enjoying it, and the product has been hotter than normal, but I can't get passed the company being what it is, and this isn't for me.

But a criticism of this angle is, why isn't Roman the one doing this stuff? I know The Rock MIGHT be involved in the title match, but The Rock being the main character of this angle doesn't really jive with me, especially since he's largely here to get eyes off the rape story. I know this is a company about moments, so everything else is largely secondary.

Or more concisely put...

I willxagree Roman needs a bigger role but like as always he is the product of his over push. A case study on how not to build a top guy when Cody can come in and instantly take his years held spot

Cody is going to lose to Roman again. No way do they abandon their record breaking project at this point.

Cody losing would be the funniest outcome because him winning is such an easy lay up that Trips and co would be stupid not to do it.

It really feels like to me that whatever angle they are planning for Mania is going to be The Rock turning on Roman at the end as an elaborate planned set-up from Cody and the Rock.

I'm also terrible at guessing booking and have always ranked extremely low whenever we play the PPV Prediction Games so I dunno

i think the match at this point is straight up just going to be rock vs cody

Isn't it if Cody & Seth lose the tag match, then the Universal Championship match on Night 2 falls under "Bloodline Rules" which I guess is just every Roman title match defense anyway but now run-ins are legal? Rock said it a couple weeks ago and then they haven't gone back to it since iirc

cody defeated roman reigns and reveled in his conquest but they say there is only true champion of sports entertainment... and that champion had returned. triple h the game
