No way, Cody is going to win... by Lesnar being disqualified for kicking too much rear end. Then they'll have a follow up stipulation match preventing outside interference that Lesnar will lose because of outside interference. Coincidentally enough this would have been the exact booking for Cody even if he had won the title, right down to the Bloodline still being in the actual main event.

Losing for kicking too much rear end might be my favorite Fedism

Isn't Bam Bam Bigelow a noticeable absence from the HoF? He main evented a Wrestlemania and he had the best ending in WWF: Wrestlemania The Arcade game. Bam Bam becomes a fire elemental and incinerates the entire arena and everyone in it.

It's because that ending happened IRL and they don't want to be associated with that

Is there a storyline reason for a championship? "ROMAN-UHHH IS JUST TOO-UHHH POWERFUL-UHHHH SO WE MADE-UHHHH A NEW CHAMPIONSHIP-UHHHH"

This doesn't have any NWA or WCW title lineage other than looking kind of like it if you squint really hard.

The WCW championship lineage (and the NWA lineage up until WCW split) was merged with the WWE/F lineage when Chris Jericho became Undisputed Champion. *That* championship eventually became the WWE Championship when HHH created the World Heavyweight Championship out of the ether so he could hold a belt (represented by a slightly modified Big Gold Belt) while the real one was on Smackdown. Those then merged together by Orton to become the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, which was shortened back to just WWE Championship when they debuted the current belt (the black one). Then the Universal Championship was created from the ether to give Raw a belt while the real one was on Smackdown (sound familiar?). That one has swapped brands and colors and Roman currently holds it.

And like, I get that it's wrestling so everything is exactly as prestigious and real as they want it to be, but if Cody's story is to win the big one his father never won, this ain't it.

This also raises the question of who drafts Roman. He's now textually the greatest Superstar of all time, but also doesn't actually have to wrestle. You have first pick: do you take him?

so did they basically retire the WWE Championship or
I guess they renamed it to the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship. Whether this means Roman carries two belts or the brand-colored one or a brand new one remains to be seen, I guess.

I am glad they are acknowledging that the Tribal Chief is just so cool and powerful that no one can defeat him so Loser Cody can get the fake, made-up belt.

She had been under a Legends contract for awhile, but I guess they ended that, too.

So Paul's year-long plan to change Butch's name back to Pete Dunne hasn't happened yet?

I was really hoping they'd do a reverse name removal thing:

He's Butch Dunne for six months and starts growing his hair back out

Then Pete "Butch" Dunne for another six, and switches to a singlet but still wears the hat

Then he drops the Butch and he's just Pete Dunne again and stops wearing the hat

Sorry for the derail, I knew she went to Fox News and that she sucks but I was honestly floored by how she was basically the leading voice in the segment and her whole deal basically seems to be transphobia

She actually went to uh Offkick? Onkick? Some alt-right sports outlet. Fox News just has her on because she can talk about the filthy liberals in ESPN refusing to let her talk about trans people.

I know we've been over this a bunch of times already, but hey guys, how loving funny is it that WWE chose to not put this guy over at Wrestlemania in favor of a guy who's not even on this show.

Why would Roman be on this show? He's canonically too cool and powerful to have to wrestle on the wrestling show

Lotta people have convinced themselves that HHH has completely changed every facet of the company overnight despite the facts that A) a lotta their worst practices are poo poo he'd have no control over anyway, B) Most of Vince's biggest stooges are still in the same positions doing the same poo poo as always or were replaced by guys like Road Dogg which is a lateral move at best, C) Vince is the guy who taught HHH everything he knows about running creative and D) Vince is still in charge and actively loving with everything anyway

A lot of people still believe D is a lie told by Shave Seltzer.

While the world title thing is extremely dumb, the tag title thing is only moderately dumb since the tag titles are cross branded anyway atm so that's really the only way for them to work. Still dumb to write yourself into the position though.

Um, no, they can keep the tag titles to the holders' brand and then have them fight the other brand at Survivor Series, then only night of the year when Raw and Smackdown Superstars get to face off in battles for brand supremacy!
