I get this funky high on the yellow sun.

None of this poo poo makes ANY sense. It's been *checks watch* six days since "lol cody" and NOW is when you pivot!?? Regardless of if it's a work or a shoot, there's a whole two months left til WM and even with elimination chamber you could have milked the temporary angel for multiple weeks to make it seem like you knew what you were doing. What, is the company just run by completely loving morons who oooooooooooooh

I can’t help but find it hilarious that they did their big storyline at this press conference thing instead of on one of their TV shows. What a weird choice.

I mean from the storyline perspective it's kind of funny that they've decided to make Cody into Tetsuya Naito.

(I think they're doing a Double Gold Dash. Probably Rock/Seth and Cody/Roman on night one, winners face each other for all the gold on night two, yes, this means Dwayne thinks he can manage two actual matches without tearing every muscle and tendon in his HGH-riddled body.)

Nah, they are going in a straight line to Cody/Roman with as many distractions and deflections around it as possible to make it feel "fresh and unexpected." Alvarez suggested Roman/Rock v. Cody/Seth night 1, Cody/Roman night 2, which idk, makes some amount of sense (relatively, none of this makes actual sense). That at least gives you a way to start sewing issues between Rock and Roman that maybe culminate night 2 and lead to the giant angle they're clearly planning on between the two of them.

I don't think them booking a press conference on site of the super bowl means that this was what they were planning to have at it

It's obviously a work now but, as low an opinion I have of the wrestling media, I don't think they were all full of poo poo with their reporting last week

Also this whole thing was orchestrated for the sole reason of distracting from the Vince stuff, and I know that's not a groundbreaking revelation but it's still disgusting and loving stupid

I mean, a lot of the stuff they reported was probably true (e.g., Rock demanded this angle as a condition of the Board seat in addition to $30 million in equity or whatever). Seems like the color around that about the Rock taking Cody's spot was probably a work and they are planning something longer term between him and Roman. Or maybe the Rock demanded that they use the Cody angle as a springboard for his angle, but not necessarily that he take the main event spot.

Doesn't explain the nonsensical booking for Cody (or the Rock's heel turn) though, so maybe they actually just freaked out and pivoted.

It’ll be funny when Cody doesn’t win again but for now, this is the only thing about WWE worth mentioning.
