Please, this is all I have
I'm imagining some really dumb scenario in my head where Roman Reigns gets injured or takes a long break away from the WWE and comes back 2, 3 years later with the belts again and WWE act as if he'd never lost them. Just as a means to keep his title reign going in the lowest effort way possible.

If you were ever going to do the underground thing, it makes way more sense to do it on NXT than on Raw. I like the microphone that comes down from the ceiling.

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.

I thought Cody or Sami should have won as well but given the business they've done with Roman I guess it wasn't the wrong call financially

I mean, Cody and Sami were popping huge quarters too. They were really, really, really over, and they're actually there every week and do the house shows.

It didn't so much bury him as instantly return him to his previous position, which was midcard tag guy. He challenged for the title once afterwards, against Lashley, and got squashed. Which I thought was kinda cool and a pretty good use of Kofi, you don't usually see squashes in championship matches that aren't Brock.

They could've left Kofi as like. A low main, high midcard, gatekeeper babyface. He didn't need to win the title again, they could've just had him retain some credibility but they just. Didn't.

I think they probably could have done the same or better with Cody holding the belt since they could have done all the exact same feuds and bloodline stuff in the exact same way.

What I think it really comes down to is WWE fans are so eager for the shows to be good again that as long as WWE remains goodish to them they'll keep watching and talking about how great it is. Kind of like how everyone thought The Mandalorian was amazing for a while because the previous movies were horrible in comparison.

Yeah, it's not like the Usos feuding with Roman wouldn't have popped quarters without the belt, because the belt is completely irrelevant to that story. A lot of the stuff that happened since Mania would've made more sense if Roman had lost to Cody.

But also Mandalorian season 1 was amazing and season 2 was, y'know. Y'know. Season 2s are hard.

I mean if you wanted to Roman to break the WWE title records you have him defend the Universial title day 1 mania and lose it to Cody and than defend the WWE title day 2 and win. Still have him break records but belts are broken up so you don't need lame consolation belt, Cody gets a title but you still have him chasing the belt he wants

In fairness to WWE, at the time Benoit was the right choice and it was a pretty great moment.

Indeed. Bret finally getting the belt back at WM10 was good too. What was not good was making Yokozuna wrestle two matches in one night, but whatever, love me some Hitman.

I personally enjoy WWE more than AEW, I only watch AEW for Danielson, Kenny or the occasional NJPW guy. The lovely loving AEW game might have been the last straw for me giving them money but i’ll keep watching because Tony might realize he needs to let someone else book sometime and I watched WWE when it was even shittier than any of AEW’s lows for years.

Overall great time to be a fan either way.

The game is the exact inverse of the 2k titles where the wrestling part is actually fun instead of a tedious slog but you can’t spend 500 hours making custom things with an exhaustive array of sliders and decals so it’s limited in a completely different way.

I have very different tastes in wrestling from you but I would like to say I very much enjoy your posts!

Also I generally like Cody as a wrestler. Not everything he has tried has worked but gosh darn it I've had fun watching it (at least in AEW). Though I agree with other posters that it is very easy / fun to make jokes about him.

It's exactly this, and a perfect distillation of WWE and AEW. If you hate wrestling, get 2K or watch WWE. If you like it, get Fight Forever and watch AEW. Simple as.
