    He's gone to them saying that with Punk out and Lesnar done, the card needed more star power and that he would be a big draw.

    The plan as of the Rumble was for Cody v Roman, hence him pointing at Roman after winning it. But the Lesnar allegations have seen him basically retire from wrestling and Punk got injured. Dwayne then got involved.

    Word is backstage and creative all want Cody v Roman, but upstairs have been convinced that Dwayne will draw more money. You could see it all by the look on Codys face after the 'hug.'

    Is there a creative way out of this shit show?

    Say Rock goes over. We then have a largely absent champion coming off the back of 4 year reign where the champ wrestled once a month. Also pretty damning that for 4 years all the full time guys have been run over and it takes a 52 year old part timer to beat Reigns.

    If Roman wins then heaven help us because I genuinely don’t know how the fuck they ever get the belt off him. Unless he drops it at Summerslam, we’ll be looking at WM41 before he could realistically drop it again but to who? Let Cody take the WHC and do a champion vs champion at 41?

    There’s a shit storm brewing here. It could end up like that Brock - Goldberg mania where the crowd hijacked it with boos.

    Put of interest what would everybody put the Rick's chances of beating Roman at?

    I have it above zero because he's a big enough deal but I don't really buy it and would assume we've got at least another six months of Reigns but probably another year. 5%? Is even that too generous?

    So I've finally seen a way out of this mess.

    They relaunch Starrcade as the autumn major PPV.

    Romans title reign breaks the Hogan record, Cody gets his main event match under the name that his father created.

    Rick

    I agree, it’s more than zero. The Bloodline has run its course and breaking it up on the back of a Roman win is a little odd. But then they might look to do a title unification with Cody at Summerslam or something so maybe Roman does win.

    Either way it’s a clusterfuck.

    It's doubled that now plus We Want Cody was trending and Rock got booed at a house show.

    I reckon that The Rick(it's official now) has zero chance. I also think he's big headed enough to believe he can turn the tide on this too. A bad side effect of his movies doing well. Apparently he did try a similar power move on the DCEU but didn't get anywhere when they hired James Gunn.

    The bigger problem here is that with say Daniel Bryan, it was the guys in the back running the show who made the Batista choice. Those same people were there every night to see him get shit on and Bryan as over as you get. This time all of the people in the back know that this is the wrong call, but are being told by people who will likely never visit a non-Wrestlemania show, who will likely not see any of the shitting on everything, to carry on anyway.

    So I reckon this all falls onto The Rick. Will the fans at shows fully shit on him? If so that's an impressive effort. If they do, again, is he big headed enough to believe it's fine I'll turn them back. Or would he actually listen and do the right thing? Given that he needs the match to earn $30m, I bet we're in for a Mania shit show.

    Why does said match for $30m NEED to happen at Mania? Why can't it happen at a Saudi show?

    Rick is pretty apt for this clusterfuck anyway. Like GF said, it’s official now.

    Is there any way this is purely a Triple Haitch decision? We’ve already had 10+ years of a retard running the company, do we really need TKO board of directors interfering in creative? At some point you’ve got to put trust in the people WWE has - namely Haitch and his writing staff.

    What the fuck does The Rick know about wrestling booking in 2024? I genuinely don’t understand why any of this is happening.

    I've not seen anybody arguing with the story that The Rock wanted this anyway and then they caved some time after Raw, I'd speculate that if left to his own devices HHH would have just found an alternative to Punk as he is now but left the other match alone.

    I do wonder if it's as simple as TKO/WWE/HHH wanting a distraction from Vince's revelations.

    This is one of the reasons why The Rick can the match apparently.

    They thought he'd take the light off Vince due to being a DRAW.

    It's working I guess but in the wrong way.

    Ok so have Cody win Night 1 and take the title, then let Rick beat Roman without a title on the line.

    It's going to be entertaining if he tries his whole "The peoples..." shtick and is met with boos and we want Cody chants.

    I still don't believe the crowd will shit on Rick, but we'll see soon I guess. If he really wants to skirt it though, he just gets "attacked" by Roman/Bloodline and he is off screen until Mania.

    Hopefully the Raw crowd start it off hot tomorrow with the Cody love in. Doubt Rock even shows up all that often so it’ll be hard to shit on him

    Starting to wonder if this is a work. Ricochet and Logan have tweeted out support for Cody. You telling me they would do that without the express consent of the management? Can’t see it.

    Incoming triple threat like Bryan at WM30.

    Like it or not, the Rick is wrestling royalty at this point. You don’t announce him for the Wrestlemania main event and then go “actually nah”. That’s just not going to happen. You’re only options with Cody now are to go to WM41, have Roman headline both nights of 40 or a triple threat. The Rick will be main eventing and it’s bugger all to do with the DCEU debacle.
