Could Roman’s run go till Mania 40?

[ChitownKnight]

Say the Rock comes back to face Roman at mania 39. Then he’s gotta put him over. Then Summerslam comes around but it’s so close to 3 years you gotta hit that mark, and then it HAS to be a mania moment. I don’t want this to happen, but do you think it’s a possibility?

[Push R Truth]

Could it?

Absolutely.


I can taste a little vomit in the back of my mouth after saying that.

[Deleted]

Could it? yes

On the other hand should it?

[Timeless Hayterade]

Sadly, I see it happening.

[Fade]

It’s possible.

[Ben Wyatt]

It *can* but it absolutely, positively shouldn't.

[Friday Night SmackOwn]

For the sake of everything, I hope not.

[chronocross]

If he had just the Universal title I wouldn't mind so much but both belts until WM40? Hell no.

[tirtefaa]

What's the difference between him losing it at WM39 and WM40?

I doubt they're going to lose many viewers either way.

I guess the booking challenge for me would putting together at least 8 to 10 fresh feuds for him to contend with until it happened.

[Legion]

No.

At some point, one of the Networks is going to put a foot down and demand titles on their shows proper.

[thehottag]

It can, sure, but the idea of it makes me feel poorly.

Hell I still maintain it shouldn't have lasted this long.

but it absolutely could.

I get the feeling that the US title has become the de facto world title for RAW by this point.

Unless they dont plan to re-up with USA, I dont think that will wash with them....though I suppose even without a World title, the numbers are the same as usual, maybe even up (before the Football season started).

So maybe that saving grace may not even be there any more.

The idea that Roman could hold it until April 7th 2024 is, quite simply, horrific. That means another year of babyfaces choking and failing to get the job done and no growth for Reigns, and eventually, you run out of challengers because you've had everyone on the roster choke or nobody is buying them as having a hope in hell against Roman.

And I don't buy the talk of beating Roman having to be a 'mania moment. Hell, Drew should have beaten Reigns earlier this month.

[fg]

Don’t give them any ideas.

[fw91]

It won't. Roman may want a "real" hiatus soon.

Yeah Saving evething big for Mania is a major problem when your trying to get people to watch "premium live events" every month.

[Stone Coke Miami Watson 🥃]

Only do it if he has a Bruno-Meter…

[HisRoyalGreeness]

At this point I’m expecting Roman to beat Bruno’s record.
