Ya know, I’ve been thinking, maybe their so reluctant to give Seth a match, because he always wants to BURN IT DOWN!

I mean, yeah, but so what? The Triangle Ladder Match didn't main event Mania 2000. Owen vs. Bret didn't main event Mania X. The best match on the card doesn't always have to main event, splitting Mania into two days now, it's pretty obvious the women will get one and the men will get one. Charlotte and Ronda is the biggest draw of the women, because Ronda has the best chance to draw in casual viewers. I mean, I've always had the mindset that the most important match should main event. Charlotte/Ronda doesn't feel that outside Roman/Brock. Honestly, nobody cares about Ronda in 2022, 2018 yes but not now I am not exactly excited for the match but this just isn't true. She's popped two of the bigger ratings for Smackdown two weeks in a row for her segments and she's getting big pops(which I don't think is fake since the ratings also prove it). People still care about her. Just wanted to clear this up. |

Like if was Ronda against Becky like it should've been then absolutely. However Ronda against Charlotte? I guess this year it is by default due it being two nights and everything else on the card sans Roman-Brock part 887 not feeling like a big deal but most years with one night and a better card I don't think it would have any business being a Mania main event. |

As long as they re-enact Warrior vs HHH So you are saying you want Cody to run to the ring, shake the ropes, no sell a pedigree by springing up to his feet and running in place, and then giving Seth a flying shoulder tackle and gorilla press slam before pinning him with a splash. I would be totally all for this. |

Ronda vs. Charlotte is not confirmed as the main event yet.

If Cody debuts at Mania, I assume Cody wins quickly and then they feud until Backlash. |

Cody got Rhodes back previously, right? To me, this sort of feels like, assuming he's back, he wants his dad's creations back and then he's gonna split. Feels like there's a decent shot he'd ask for them, WWE would hand them over just to say they signed away a AEW talent and Cody will carry on his real life soon after. He did eventually secure Cody Rhodes, though it was a pain in the ass. That seemed to be as much just the legalities than WWE itself getting in the way of it, though he did also fight with them over trademarks related to things Dusty created, like snagging Bunkhouse Brawl when WWE let it lapse, etc. So yeah, that could absolutely be a motivating factor. |

I'm guessing Rollins is gonna issue an open challenge and Cody will come out to a big pop.

By all you mean the people who were already watching Raw anyway and do so regardless out of habit? This isn't true. Raw ratings this week was one of the first weeks in a very long time where the third hour didn't have a huge drop-off. People were tuned in expecting to see Cody. Also watching the show out of habit doesn't ring true as the show's ratings were stable(especially the second week)when they moved to Syfy for two weeks. That's not a thing of habit but choosing to watch something. |

Yes, I think the story one of the biggest stars in the company may not be booked on the show after losing a match to have the right to have a talk show at Wrestlemania is crap. People are talking about Cody coming in, yes. That doesn’t mean what’s actually been put on tv is any good. |

I hope Cody's debut is revealed by Pharaoh coming down to the ring while Seth is sitting there and giving him a big doggy hug while Seth is like UAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAAAAAA cause he knows what this means. Then Pharoah rolls him up for a 3 count. |

How about at Mania .. Joey Janela Vs Seth Rollins? See, like, from the perspective of being a fan, that would rule. I genuinely think those two would have amazing chemistry together. But on the flip side, he seems like he'll be a headache for WWE HR and also... WWE..AND their audience. That. |

Becky vs. Bianca or Austin could main. it could've. Both more worthy than Charlotte v Ronda it probably should but vince is most likely to give ronda main event status. |
