Say you're Damian Priest and you see it's Roman vs. Rock at Wrestlemania. Wouldn't you enter yourself into the match? I don't mean like a cheap cash in either like he should enter himself into the match now to get the publicity of being in a Wrestlemania main event match with Roman and Rock. I know that's not going to happen because of what WWE is but it's what a person would do if this was a real life scenario. No, Damien is going to give the briefcase to Stone Cold so he can finish his story and avenge his loss to The Rock. That’s how this stuff goes now right? Don't give WWE any ideas. |

It's the first week of this so I'll be a little less harsh on this but yeah... the god damned story is about the WWE title... nothing else.
The only way to do that is for Roman to lose the title at some point.
The Bloodline has basically run out of steam post mania last year, and he should have lost then especially Roman's entire year post mania was more or less like he lost it anyway.
All of that said... with as much as Roman needs to lose... he should not f***ing drop it to the Rock.
Especially since you could still do the same damned match without the title.

I can't wait for them to backtrack on this.
"See look it was all to set up a big Cody moment taking the main event back! What a genius Papa Haitch is!"
Or Rock loses
"See it was all so Cody could get a bigger moment at 41 what a genius Papa Haitch is!"

It's baffling for me because Reigns is leaving at some point. That's obvious. He sees a career in Hollywood as the next step. And Cody is the perfect guy to slip in and take Reigns's place at the top of the pile. And WWE have shat all over that to bring in The Rock. does he tho? that man seems like he enjoys hanging out with his family and that's it. |

This is like what woukd have happened if Hogan beat Sting at Starrcade, Sting won World War III the following year to face Hogan for the title again and instead took a shot at a future PPV/an US Title match so his good friend the Ultimate Warrior could end Hogan instead.

This was the last post in the Mania thread last year where we were all truly excited and hopeful  Like watching the hero make their grand comeback just to get shot in the head and the credits roll... and now the hero's been revived but "Cool McHugemuscles" is gonna take down the villain instead or something just roll with it it's fine... |

It's the first week of this so I'll be a little less harsh on this It's part of why I'm not convinced that it's going one way and one way only. I fully expect this to end with Cody standing tall as Universal Champion before WM ends. And I've seen enough of the past booking to know that waiting and seeing is not a bad or stupid thing. It's just healthier than being deeply negative. |

 That smirk alone tells me this isn't as set in stone as everyone thinks. That looks less like a "just wait and see the master plan" wry smirk and more like how I smile when I'm trying not to cry Maybe it’s a “this match is going to be boo’d to oblivion and they will pay for shafting me” |

If it happens your way, good for you, but I don't really understand why you are so angry at people being upset with this, just... don't look in the thread you know people are going to be f***ing furious?? |

Yeah I'm double taking at the "Waiting and seeing isn't a bad or stupid thing" like in general yeah it isn't, with WWE?? With them... waiting and seeing is like a god damn plague where shit never actually is waited on or SEEN... |
