That really did feel like a "We couldn't pull Austin" so they had to get the next best thing Personally, if you were going for a Rock tethered rival/friend I would have rather have gone Mick Foley, especially if this was gonna be the "No bump" spot, mandible claw Rock, there's SO MUCH history there to go off of. The problem is getting Mick down to the ring and out without it looking really awkward.

I was surprised by no Austin, but that Undertaker guy is also kind of a big deal in WWE history. I popped. Had to force myself not to be too loud otherwise Leanne would've blown me up...Again... I was surprised by no Austin, but that Undertaker guy is also kind of a big deal in WWE history. And completely unrelated to the Bloodline or Rock. Unrelated to Roman or Rock? I like that he dresses like a guy who's just gotten out of prison. Yeah, ''dresses like''...

I can't believe Undertaker would betray a man he was tag champions with like this.

I will say the pop for the gong was just as loud as it would've been for Austin's theme hitting.

Austin is my all time favorite, but I was ok with him not showing up.
I'd be kinda worried about him distracting from Cody because so many people would be talking about Austin showing up.
Imo he's literally the only star with that level of popularity where that'd be a concern tbh.

just wanna throw it out there but they're clearly going to do a rock/cody match at some point probably summerslam. bring in stone cold then because you know for sure Rock will still have jimmy/solo/etc.

Not as allies but as two dudes who happen to hate Rock (assuming Roman gets beaten down and kicked out by Rock then disappears for a while first).

The pop for Roman helping Cody against the New Bloodline is gonna be huge.

Imo he's literally the only star with that level of popularity where that'd be a concern tbh. I’d still want him for the fact if you’re gonna go cameo crazy may as well go with the guy Rock has the most Mania history with. That and he could pull the Foley card again…show up, whoop Rock’s ass and peace out so the spotlight is on Cody.

Can someone please fill me in on the Austin hints? I've been watching, but on a bit of autopilot since Royal Rumble, so I'm pretty confused

I've been watching, but on a bit of autopilot since Royal Rumble, so I'm pretty confused Basically there was a truck with Austin and Cena on it very conspicuously in the background during Rock beating down Cody, Triple H put out a tweet earlier about the match at exactly 3:16, the show was in Philadelphia like Mania 15 and they brought up that connection several times, and Punk did the, "Gimme a hell yeah!" bit on the preshow. Nothing concrete but kind of enough of a pattern that people were taking notice of it.

With Austin I half-figure he balked because he thought they could do something more substantial down the road.
I'm unsure what but he's just wound that way.

On that note, Snoop Dogg also hyped up the crowd just before the Universal Championship match by telling the crowd "if you're ready for the main event, say hell yeah"

He also just recently had to pull out of a couple conventions because of recurring dizziness so I don't think he would have been an option rn
