Sure you're all laughing at WWE for its "awful booking" and "criminal acts" but the real reason is because you hate Cody Rhodes!

What exactly was WWE's intended plan after 30? Batista wins, defends the belt against Orton until he has to do the press junket for GOTG as champ (press and Dave don't care) then drop it to Brock at Summerslam?
Nah he just really wanted to work with Orton and Triple H so he likely would've dropped it to HHH at summerslam

The reason it's funny with Cody is because he knew all of this and talked about it at length for years as the reason why he left.

And then he just....went back. And it happened to him again.

The bloodline has been rocking for 2 years now. All hail the Big Dog Roman Reigns. His Family has been running rough over the WWE universe beating everyone but recently there have been cracks leading to the Usos breaking free. I think thats everything to be recaped.

I can't believe you guys are claiming Cody feuding with Rick Boogs in NXT is making him look bad, OK he got his rear end kicked by Boogs 7 weeks straight but he also gave him the middle finger and cut a 10 minute promo about him, so just wait until they finish the story.

They'll beat you over the head with story beats that don't even exist. It should really be a "How to avoid getting gaslit by WWE if you're just getting into it" thread.

Even if

1) That is the plan instead of "what if the Rock comes to wrestle for us THIS time?"
2) They don't just change the plan.
3) He doesn't just win the cuck belt instead of Roman's belt.

They would still be missing the peak by an entire year.

Best case scenario is Cody wins the belt at wm and then has two really bad feuds before dropping it at summerslam, he continues to be champion but never main events shows Roman is on and is treated exactly like Danielson and Kofi before him but WWE fans will try and play it off as the second greatest storytelling of all time while cody is locked into a feud with The Miz third match from the top for the title

the young fan who cried tears of joy getting Cody’s belt last night, that’s why no matter the hate and the seething Cody will be the best, the man is the babyface wrestling has needed for years and the best good guy in wrestling since Daniel Bryan.

Also this idea that Brock is burying Cody is absurd when Cody pinned the guy and then got the too tough to tap submission loss, no one has been booked this strong against Brock since HHH

I'd argue Roman has been booked stronger against Brock overall

in what way, Roman has cheated to win a lot of his matches while Brock usually just messes people up and loses to low blows

Roman has never beaten Brock without some kind of massive asterisk, but then, neither has Cody.

Also, "Cody passing out from an armbar in a match where he had a free metal weapon he could bludgeon his opponent with as much as he wanted is actually evidence of how strong he's booked" is the kind of lunatic copium poo poo that makes laughing at him so much fun.

Still say screw it and let Roman break all the records (even though it's not for the same belt)

He broke Pedro Morales' record a 12 days ago
198 more days to pass Bruno
435 more days to pass Hogan's
1096 more days to pass Backlund
1764 more days to pass Bruno

It's just 5 more years of Roman!
Probably never going to get a chance like this again I bet so just go for it

1764 days would be May 2nd, 2028, so... Roman would drop it at Summer Slam 2028? Or Money in the Bank?
