nothing, they still lost that match (to the Hurt Business, thus concluding the feud).

Is that the match where a non-legal competitor hit the other team's legal man right in front of the ref and got their team disqualified

I'd be stunned if Cody was the first guy to win that belt instead of beating Roman. They'd have to be monumentally stupid to do that

I'm sure this is still way better booking than when Vince was there week to week, but I find this kinda insane. When it's said and done there'll still be two weeks for the show, and this is a pape airing the day before AEW DoN.

There's exactly enough time for each show to do one triple threat a week and in the week of the ppv, have the semi finals. That leads the Smackdown person to have more drama since they're going from the match straight to the ppv. Unless that's actually impossible and Smackdown will have people who won't be at Saudi Arabia the next day? But also literally anyone in Reigns' faction should be in the smackdown thing so C*dy can get any kind of story finishign???

They have to do all the matches right away so that the two winners have two weeks to do storytelling with each other because how else is anyone supposed to care about a match for the world title?

Cody did say, this is going back to the initial jumping back to WWE, that if he asked Tony for one specific thing that Tony would've granted it.

Now it makes sense, it wasn't a title, it was the book.

He probably wanted to book a second show by himself. Probably. Maybe. I don't know :shrug:

Why would Tony have given Cody the book? All his ideas stuck out in a bad way the last year of his run in AEW. I think it was probably a title. Tony would have understood that Cody as champ would have been a red hot angle.

Sydney Bottocks posted:

I highly doubt he left because of not being the AEW champ. Cody's a mark for himself, not a belt mark. He wanted the book because his dad had the book under Jim Crockett, and he wants to be seen as being just as good as his dad was, both in-ring and behind the scenes. He was willing to take himself out of AEW world title contention to show that he wasn't going to put himself over as the top guy, unlike Dusty who was always viewed as the top face during the majority of his JCP run. It's just Cody's misfortune that the two biggest wrestling companies are run by guys who are absolute control freaks when it comes to booking their shows (though at least Tony Khan isn't a complete rear end in a top hat about it).

Yeah I get all that. I was meaning that Cody could have asked Tony for the title, and Tony would have given it to him, but that's not what he wanted. He wanted the book, which Tony wouldn't have given him. If Cody thinks he could have asked Tony for the book and that Tony would have given it to him, why would Cody have left? Unless you think Cody is lying about that, which I've heard is something he really enjoys.

A lot of people are ragging on HHH for the belt stuff but what you’ve got to realize is that HHH’s time leading creative hasn’t officially begun yet. A lot of what we’ve seen is him having to continue Vince’s storylines from before he took over.

2023 The Royal Rumble WrestleMania After One Full Year The First WrestleMania After He’s Booked For A Full Year is when his booking philosophy truly begins

is that before or after Pete Dunne gets his name back

Dana Brooke just had the most cursed match on NXT with Cora Jade.

It had a fake knee injury to try and garner sympathy for Dana. It backfired horribly. Had a stretcher job where the audience actively rooted for Cora to beat her up more. And during a single leg boston crab, the audience was demanding Dana tap out. Eventually the ref just ended the match, giving the win to Cora.

e: Gable Steveson is on NXT now and got absolutely no reaction lmao

You forgot the part where Cora was gonna put Dana in a figure 4 but forgot how to do it so just did the single leg crab instead

I think I've convinced myself they should have Jey beat Roman at SS. They've got months more Bloodline drama they can spin out of that and whether we like it or not that's the thing that's been carrying their shows. They can even put the belt back on Roman so he can lose it to Cody at WM for real this time if they want.

Solo has played his part well but absolutely nothing about him screams next big main event star to me. He's an adequate wrestler who never talks and has an unremarkable look. All he really has going for him is being part of that family Vince loves. Both his brothers are far more talented but they're twins so they'll be stuck in a tag team together for eternity.

My biggest issue with wwe still is the production side of things. Watching always feels like I’m watching some Nickelodeon game show. The saturation level is up so high and just even like the way they cut promos and do backstage segments. It feels like a kids show.

Same. It's a gross looking tv show. Even the great matches I have a hard time getting into.

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 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.
