They’re going to overthink this and screw it up something fierce somehow.

If Kofi wins, Becky won't, and vice versa.
I'm pretty convinced the loser will be Becky, because they're working so hard to pretend Rousey is a face the fans love.

Man, Kofi chasing the title after 11 years practically wrote itself but of course they’ll rehash this angle twice at the same time. Legit surprised they are going with Kofi for the title at Mania. Time for Bryan to break out the HHH 2003 promo. HHH was practically describing the New Day in that promo anyway so as long as the racist loses in the end this time it would at least make sense. Hell, Vince saying that Kofi's replacement was more deserving than Kofi after Kofi's accomplishments made me side-eye it a bit. I knew that's not what they meant but you know what I mean.

Yeah I'm pretty sure Kofi, Becky and Rollins all win at WM. The US title, tag belts and maybe Cruiserweight belt will be held by heels so it'll be a good mix between 6 face champions and 4 heel champions on the main roster.

Watching the same angle twice on both shows is like if I spent my days playing Incubus and Hoobastank at the exact same time.

I'm thinking Kofi and Becky win, Seth loses. Rollins has absolutely no momentum right now and so long as Reigns is being cheered again I could see them being dumb enough to try yet another match between him and Lesnar at SummerSlam. Although I wouldn't be stunned if Ronda wins then loses it to Becky the next night to pay off the, "Title matches the night after PPVs," thing she's been doing.

I mean, I’m glad it appears that Kofi is getting the big Mania match( but it’s asinine to use almost the exact same story as the Becky one. You’re supposed to wait awhile before doing that, then people will think it’s genius. Just ask JJ Abrams.

You’re supposed to wait awhile before doing that, then people will think it’s genius. Just ask JJ Abrams. I personally think it's due to three reasons. 1. The reaction to them doing it a few weeks ago. It was so successful in their eyes so they decided to whip it out again. 2. They're poking fun at themselves. They realize it's silly and stupid so they went ahead with it. 3. It's leading to something related to Vince. I won't be surprised to see him try and replace someone else before WM just so we can have a match that gets Vince the f*** outta here as an on-screen talent.

They absolutely seem to be pushing the narrative that Hunter, Shane and even Steph are being fairly reasonable, but Vince is ruining everything.
Like, yeah, Steph told Ronda no on reinstating Becky, but she’s not doing it out of spite, Vince just seems like he’s being petty.

3. It's leading to something related to Vince. I won't be surprised to see him try and replace someone else before WM just so we can have a match that gets Vince the f*** outta here as an on-screen talent. Supposedly Vince was very reluctant to come back to TV and wanted to consider the character retired, so I could pretty easily see that. Could see him trying to replace Seth with Corbin or something and that ends up snowballing into some big multi-man tag match for control of the company just to write Vince out and give a bunch of people a prominent spot on the card in the process.

That sounds like the perfect idea to give more guys some things to do at WM. You can put Reigns, Strowman and 3 others against McIntyre (ugh), Corbin (ughhh), Lashley (ughhh) and 2 others and it would work out.

Tonight makes the Becky Lynch deal somewhat problematic since Kofi has literally done nothing wrong. In fact he's done everything right, won clean, kissed babies, thrown pancakes, whatever. There was some gray area with Vince regarding Becky since she did attack Stephanie the previous week, has been coming out of the crowd, and did win the Rumble by taking someone else's spot. There's now a very direct comparison: Kofi is 100% sympathetic, Becky not as much.

I could just picture everyone coming out and going "Vince, what the actual shit?", even Bork.

I'd been thinking anyway that they'll probably do something like Reigns, Ambrose, Strowman, Angle, and Balor vs. Corbin, McIntyre, Lashley, Elias, and... I dunno, Lio Rush or Bray Wyatt or something.

I mean, I'm glad this more than likely means he's getting the Wrestlemania match and winning there but doing the same exact story is sooo lazy. Another dumb aspect of this is Vince hasn't ever had any interaction with Kofi or Becky so this feels even lazier. Also for a company that does so much on screen stuff with the McMahon's because of how they want them to be perceived IRL (them not wanting Stephanie arrested on TV etc.) I don't get why they want to make the owner of the company screw over fan favorites for no reason lol. I think they're just addressing the rumors of "these are the planned opponents for Wrestlemania. Not the people you like" by having Vince come out and literally replace the top faces in the main event matches. It's mad lazy.

Yeah I wasn't surprised it was KO due to the rumors that came out last week about it being KO/Bryan at WM but Kofi might have changed plans. Dude strolled out there like Vince had just told him a few minutes prior lol.

It still confuses me how thoroughly this completely undercuts the build they've been doing for Owens.
Okay, he's now a blue collar man just trying to do right by his family, got it... and just waltzes straight back first thing into an unearned WWE title match for literally no reason.

They think Rousey is that face. They think she's the one who will give them all a big happy ending and make everyone feel great.
