The last time Rock and Roman were in a ring together in Philadelphia was the 2015 Royal Rumble.

This won't end well.

You'd be better off sticking a Cat in a Christening gown!

The one who comes off the worst in all this to me is The Rock because he's the one who should know far better. He's just coming across as a selfish asshole that doesn't care about anything but himself

I mean... that has been his MO for a while now. I just thought they tried to pivot due to Vince and trying to get any other attention.

But if Rock negotiated this in early January AND told no one so they booked the rumble without knowing it... That's a HUGE oof.

Oh I have no love lost for Punk at this point. I just love that schadenfreude that is the fact that he was fuming about the Rock coming in and stealing a WM main event like 12 years ago, he's gone from the company for a decade, and after his first match back... Rock shows up and steals a WM main event.

It's like he never left!

Priest cashing in on the winner of Rock/Roman is like the only thing that could salvage it imo. The problem is, I don't think they're ready to give Priest a win of that magnitude.

^ he isn't wrong. Since it's introduction in 2005...

Edge - Jobs right back to Cena in 4 weeks
RVD - Busted by police in under a month after title win
Kennedy - Injured in a month, loses MITB to Edge
Edge 2 - Vacated belt to injury
Punk - Didn't even get to properly lose the title
Punk 2 - Possibly no problem here
Swagger - Not made to look credible in any fashion
Kane - Wasn't bad, minus the weird Edge feud
Miz - Made to look weak against Jerry Lawler
Del Rio - Drops belt almost immediately to Cena
Bryan - 18 seconds
Cena - First to lose cash-in, by DQ of all things
Ziggler - Injured after winning title, then drops to Del Rio in first defense
Sandow - Buried by Cena
Orton - Eventually accelerated YES movement, sooooo... fine, I guess?
Rollins - Drops belt due to injury
Ambrose - Underwhelming title run
Corbin - Jobs to Mahal in 5 seconds
Strowman - Cash-in match ends in no contest, despite being Hell in a Cell
Lesnar - Meh. Basically helped statpad Rollins. Don't really have much to say on this.
Otis - Does nothing, drops MITB to Miz
Miz 2 - Gets squashed by Lashley one week after winning the belt
Big E - Underwhelming title run
Theory - Settles for US title cash in and failed
Priest - ??????

WWE actually posted that on youtube. including in the title.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-UoAmRZsh4

...is this seriously a work to essentially replace bryan's rise to WM due to punk's exit with cody's rise to WM due to punk's exit.

Realistically speaking, there is zero chance The Rock would be okay with a storyline that made him look bad. But everyone else knows this is fucked. What you're seeing actual company infighting right here.

i mean, Rock can always pivot in some way by saying he's the people's champ and he'll do what the people want or whatever, to essentially elevate Cody. he's got a way out as long as he doesn't force it.

i'd like to believe that it's actual company infighting but that would mean WWE's secondary youtube channel is also fighting against the company's directive. to be clear the main channel didn't have all that, it just had a bit more of the Drew section and cut out the Rocky Sucks part as opposed to literally titling a video "The Crowd Chants, 'Rocky Sucks'" which is uh... well, what i expect from fans, twitter vids, or whatever else that isn't actually a major official source. besides that, gotta remember that at some point company infighting also becomes a work. it's starting to look like that technically but we'll see.

Depends on two things.

  1. Ego.
  2. Read one report that they've already signed sponsorship contracts for the Rock/Roman match. They might be legally bound to play it out.

we don't know what was written on those contracts. pretty much everyone is using the same report that was posted earlier and it says the only people that know the details are Rock, head of WWE, and head of TKO. don't know the sponsorships, don't know the arrangement or requirements to Dwayne getting to legally have "The Rock", don't know what the merch is. it could be a super well kept secret only known to 3 people and their lawyers or it could be a purposeful leak with half truths so they win no matter what (no reaction, Rock continues; get a reaction, Cody's story replaces Bryan's).

Strowman's gets my goat just a teeny bit more than Lesnar's (who is leagues above MITB) because he basically gave it away in advance to make sure the opponent didn't run. Otis was like electing a "loser" for Prom Monarch/Class Pres/School Captain/etc for a laugh only for reality to kick in.

It does my heart good to see that after years and years of WWE pushing over-the-hill stars from bygone eras instead of focusing on younger, newer talent, all the while being defended for it by their most passionate fans, that it's finally coming back to bite them.

Except that's not even what's happening, because this controversy is now eating up all the headlines for the company and no one is talking about how Vince McMahon is a serial rapist and sex trafficker anymore.

What happened?

Roman chose Rock(he "can't" do that, but he's the Tribal Chief so wgaf)
Rock accepted based on the Bloodline connection of both of their grandfather's blood oath to each other validating the claim of Largest Attraction WM match in history.
Cody objected and chose Roman for his Rumble victory match, then insulted the Anoai Family line
Rock got offended and laid into Cody
Big war of words as the Press Conference ended

Essentially:

Roman: Tribal Chief, Head of the Table, G.O.D Mode, Levels Above, ACKNOWLEDGED
Cody: White-Hot Babyface
Rock: Hollywood Heel
Seth: 4th Wheel

I'll go way out of left field and guess we get Rollins vs Rock.

It's either that or yet another Seth/Drew rematch.

Ultimately, regardless of who Rollins faces, Priest leaves Mania with the belt
