Cody to wear weight belt at WM with indy companies featured

[Deleted]

Regardless of your stance on Cody this could be pretty cool...

I am doubtful if they will allow him to include AEW (and impact and ROH for that matter) but then again I could see them using it to label AEW as "indy wrestling" as if that is below what WWE puts out.

[Finish Uncle Muffin’s Story]

I wouldn't be surprised if he was able to sneak the IMPACT and ROH logos on there if it's a situation where all of the indie logos are in the "Nightmare" text instead of like actually around "Nightmare," if that makes sense. AEW, that might be a no go.

Some people will feel some kind of way if AEW is showcased in that belt. I mean, people still get upset over Triple H saying that Vince would buy "that pissant company" that Billy Gunn works on.

Yeah that is exactly what I was alluding to...That it would spur the "AEW is only an indy company" lesser than tired debate

Damned if he puts AEW on there and damned if he doesn't really.

Where all did he even work though? AEW, ROH, NJPW, Impact, where else?

Didn't Cody work DEFY several times also? This belt is gonna look stupid as f*** I can't wait

I doubt AEW is going to be there because Cody specifically said indy promotions. And if you ever hear the way Cody talks about AEW now, he still has a lot of love for the company and what he helped to start.

Wouldn't expect New Japan, AAA, Impact, or ROH on there either. I mean, hell, look at this:

That's a LOT of actual indies without poking any unnecessary bears.

I mean, they let Mickie into the Royal Rumble with the Impact Women's Title... I don't think it would be a shock if they allowed him to put Impact on there. I wonder if he just puts "Japan" instead of New Japan?

He really should come out wearing the Nex Gen title

That was specifically a brokered arrangement between Impact and WWE. Mickie was a contracted Impact talent and their reigning champion at the time of the Rumble. Apples and oranges situation as Cody is fully a WWE wrestler and is doing this on his own.

I also don't think it's WWE "not letting" him as much as Cody, out of respect, not putting TNA/Impact on there as they're not an indy promotion.

He had a great match with Colt Cabana for Minnesota's Heavy on Wrestling in November 2016 (a company that I believe usually just runs charity shows), so it'll be cool to see that logo at a Mania main event.

[Jindrak Mark]

If he throws it into the crowd that night like he usually does the person catching it is likely immediately putting it on eBay. Ring-worn (well entrance) Wrestlemania main event attire from the night he likely ends the longest world title reign in modern history. It'll go for thousands.

[Red Mage Riot]

Am I imagining Cody working in Global Force Wrestling? I'd love to see THAT logo make the belt.

[coleslaw]

Cody waits until he wins the World titles at Wrestlemania to let everyone know it was ALL A WORK, DADDY! "I'm taking the titles somewhere, where the competition is more.....ELITE"

[Xxcjb01xX [PIECE OF: SH-]]

AEW isn't an Indie so it probably won't be included. ROH is kinda iffy, I would include it, but AEW owns them now so WWE might not allow it

Definitely gonna see a bunch of crazy promotion logos on there though

He not only worked for them, he was their NEX*GEN Champion!

Cody should have DPW on there, I know he didn't work for them but just for the "RATIO, L, YOU FELL OFF" clip from the podcast
