The Rock can go around declaring himself the hero who cleaned out all the rot in the WWE(note, it does not matter if this is actually true or not)

This is where I’m at as well as though I’d be surprised to see anyone else get the boot at this point

Roman doesn't seem like an rear end in a top hat politicker irl, but it helps that he rarely speaks or does interviews out of character. I think they figured out with Brock that the way to make a guy special is to only use him on special occasions where he can look good. A bit like how Hogan would return after football season and take credit for ratings, but wwe does it for Roman.

You say that but thats been the last few years in Hollywood for him with his drama with the fast and furious series and that Black Adam bullshit. He did just make good with the f&f people…right before vin diesel got hit with sex crime allegations. And now he comes back to wrestling, needing a bit of good press, right on the verge of WWE getting hit with giant sex crime and human trafficking allegations.

Edit: i swear to god i thought you said the Rock, not Roman when I wrote this

It is absolutely loving over for HHH, he's going to be quietly pushed out for the committee Rock brings in.

Having Rock as the special referee, teasing tribal loyalty, but then ultimately preventing Solo interference and allowing Cody to get the win seems like a much better solution. You get Rock in a major roll at WM, don't piss off all your fans for no reason, and set up a big marquee match down the line between Roman and Rock, maybe at Saudi or maybe at another big show. Honestly seems like the most obvious, sensible lay up if you really gotta have Rocky involved.

But nope!

Has anyone made up a conspiracy theory yet and floated it to gullible rubes, that Nick Khan and Tony Khan are secretly related, and that Tony planted Nick in WWE to orchestrate Vince's downfall, because he knew AEW couldn't beat WWE fairly? Because if not, I'd like to be the first to do so :v:

I feel like if Punk had gone to therapy and then had a drama free run in NOAH or NJPW he would have eventually been welcomed back into AEW. Would have been less money in that, though.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Rocky's got him in a hold.

He's talking to him. Asking him something.

Cody's nodding, he's agreeing to it.

He's crapped his pants everybody.

Cody's up and mouthing who cares. Here comes the kick to the back.

You gotta hand it to Punk, it’s quite an achievement to derail the World Title picture of different major promotions in consecutive years, and all because he can no longer take a bump without a limb falling off.

If you think this could have been a creative idea to get people to stop talking about the allegations, think about how brilliant that is. After Smackdown, the whole conversation on the internet changed. If Cody had challenged Roman, no one would be talking about it today, no one would be making memes, we would still be talking about Vince. We all fell for their plan

The memes are hilarious though

The timeline of everything is so odd.

- The Rock mentioned the head of the table well before everything
- Rock gets on the board of directors
- Punk/Cody were the final two of the Rumble with a clear Cody win
- Punk injured
- Vince is a rapist beyond anything you could imagine
- Cody talking all the talk about finishing the story at Mania up to Friday morning
- Cody comes out on Smackdown and talks in a completely bitchmade way to give the match to the Rock

My inclination is that more and worse things about Vince are going to come out and this is their way to divert from those stories taking over the headlines on their way to their biggest show of the year. The Rock headlining WM will at least muffle some of it for causal people. But it is still weird timeline wise. The Rock showing up in the beginning means they were never fully in on Cody but this is probably a combination of Hunter losing a power struggle and the perception with Vince.

It's extremely likely to be this. Rock and Ari going to have Gewirtz in the Triple H role before the end of the year. Easy to argue that this political hit is morally correct, too.
