Whatever happened to that small child, anyway? I hope they now wrestle. That was Stephanie. The Big Show was her best friend growing up.

Ridge Holland was able to find a path to WrestleMania. Seth needs to get on his level.

I will be so disappointed if Mania doesn’t play out like this…
Has finished his entrance, they stand around stalling while the crowd start loudly chanting for Cody, Seth himself starts to acknowledge the chants, walking around nodding.
The pause continues…
“Ladies and gentlemen, Elias…”

Never mind SETH getting a match, I demand a match against Vacant this weekend for reminding me of 2015 and poor Seth's knee injury!

Good Lord.
I very vaguely at best have kept up with WWE since about 2016.
The Vince meeting is my first time seeing Rollins since about then. THAT'S what his character has become? That could have been the worst acting I've ever seen.

The pause continues… “Ladies and gentlemen, Elias…” Seth in a triple threat versus Elias and Veer. Seth is immediately handcuffed outside the ring and just gets to watch them get their match.

So what's everyone doing when Shane comes out as his opponent?

What sort of gets to me is that in the meeting, Vince basically said to Seth "You're too big a star to be left off the card" which is something that's been said in 99% of this thread in why this doesn't work as a story at all.
Like, there was a way to pay off this story, a way to follow up on everything before. This absolutely wasn't it.

I think there is a way to tell this story that makes sense and actually paints Seth as a clear heel. Have Seth fail to get whatever match he wants. And each week after, Adam and Sonya keep trying to find ways to get him on the card. They know he's a star and want him on the card. They offer him a shot against Omos, they offer him a spot to challenge for the US Title, they offer him a chance to take on a rising star from NXT. But he keeps big leaguing them and says he's above all that. Finally, he goes to Vince and demands the big match he feels he deserves. Vince agrees, he gets Cody, Seth loses and is embarrassed for thinking he was above all this and ends up with egg on his face.

Honestly I'd be more interested in the trolling potential of Elias or Shane more than I would be in the actual Cody match lol. Like, I doubt the match would actually be Shane or Elias vs Seth, but red herring it a little bit before revealing Cody lol

Yeah, the only thing WWE related I've kept up on is the tennis racket guy's podcast, and even then I skip a lot of WWE. Basically he's been summed up as "bad wacky suits, bad wacky laugh." The meeting with Vince had me cringing with second hand embarrassment. There wasn't anything remotely real about it. Thought he was great with The Shield and The Authority. I know it's just one segment, but man, he's way better than being used like that.

Seth talking about his favorite Wrestlemania moment feels relevant here

Vince: "Seth... I'll be choosing your Wrestlemania opponent!" Seth: "Like everyone else, you mean?" Vince: "Huh?" Seth: "You're the boss, you always choose everyone's opponents at Wrestlemania" Vince: "Listen, you'll be wrestling Omos in a iron-man hogpen match if you don't STFU..."
