You mean the story everyone keeps talking about. The one with multiple threads and kept us all watching Raw till the last second? Yeah, this is going to be a big spot if he’s getting Cody’s first program. If Cody debuts at Mania, I assume Cody wins quickly and then they feud until Backlash. That’s what I mean it ends with the quick loss. Not saying it’s not a big spot, I just don’t like the build to it.

Ok, putting aside everything else to do with this story, how dumb “I have no path to WrestleMania” storylines are etc… Why is Seth Rollins the one making an appearance on Jimmy Fallon? Like, I know it was a skit and not a full blown interview but right now, dude’s not on the show. He lost another chance to be on the show. Miz and Logan Paul, I’d get. Owens, I’d get. Reigns, Ronda, Flair etc I’d get…Rollins? He has no story besides I need a story and we as fans know what’ll happen but the potential public who might be interested in WrestleMania or those who watch it regardless don’t. You can’t sell the show off of someone doing f*** all on it.

I know, I know, just makes the whole thing seem gooberish if your casual selling point is a guy not booked for the actual show.

I hear you, but I think this is one where folks just have to put the wrestling booking hat away and just revel in Seth’s absurd reaction and the silliness of the segment. For all we know, somebody couldn’t make it and Seth was the replacement.

For all we know, somebody couldn’t make it and Seth was the replacement. I will also say, to contradict my own argument, Seth’s probably good with the comedy community in New York considering his “feud” with Jon Stewart in his last couple of years of The Daily Show so they might have given a good word to pick him to cameo? Just ignore where that whole thing went to…

Just ignore where that whole thing went to… If I'm trying to sell WWE as a brand to people who may not be watching but might be interested, Seth is definitely one of the people I send out to get attention. His current "douchebag in loud hilarious outfits" gimmick is great and he's already got that Jon Stewart angle that was pretty good so I know he won't embarass himself out there. Plus he's a handsome dude and that always matters.

I'm begging him to show up in WWE so I can least stop worrying about whether he shows up in AEW. Just pick a lane! I'm beggin' ya.

One other random thought on the Seth on Fallon thing. He's got damn good timing, that stomp impact was right as "burn it down" hit.
