As much as it will suck, Cody wins the title at Elimination Chamber? Frees him to wrestle Gunther at Mania. Still gives you Rock vs Roman as well. Hopefully this is what happens, because if not… hoo-boy. |

I feel like we'll eventually hear more about the rapist soon, so not even sure that it works as some kind of distraction tactic.

Nah, Wrestlemania crowd, especially in Philly is gonna be smark central When's the last time WWE had a crowd like that? The fans who are in the arena seem to be having a great time and for the smarks who would get themselves over like they used to back in the days when they took over post mania raws, Canada as bizarro world, etc., that's not really there in WWE anymore That's true, but the booking has been much better where the popular guys have been pushed. There hasn't been a f***ing over of a beloved face like this for a long time. |

Even if it does, they still absolutely blew it, and made it insanely more convoluted than it needed to be For legitimately no reason either, but that's been this whole Roman storyline. |

Last year the entire crowd went absolutely mental for Shane McMahon, I get that a lot of us are upset but there is definitely going to be more cheers than boos at Mania. This is what it is. Nah, Philly will shit all over this. There will be a lot of we want Cody chants aimed at Rock. He'll get them before that too. |

That's one of my things about it, too. Even if we still get Cody vs. Roman or Cody vs. Rock vs. Roman at WM... why do they love making WM matches so needlessly complicated sometimes? There are a few other recent examples of this that you can point out. |

Does this not devalue the Rumble though? I mean, in reality, main eventing Mania is worth more than a title win. There have been far less Mania main eventers than World Champions in WWE |

I really don't think they will, Philly is known for being a smark crowd but as others have mentioned those people are pretty much gone. Mania could pull them back out... There was a pretty decent mix of smarks and casuals last year and LA is way less smarky than Philly. I just don't see it. I f***ing despise this but I don't see the boos coming or some type of Daniel Bryan thing. |

Let's say the backlash stuns them and even Dwayne realizes that Cody v Roman is best for Mania so they insert him into the match or rebook it a la WM30. How do they explain Cody's actions tonight in kayfabe? Temporary insanity? He was lying to mess with Roman's head? "I was only joking!"

I just figured it'd at least give Cody SOMETHING haha. |

Trust me, as someone who has watched this for 35 years, they will shit on Rock big time and deservedly so too. Nothing riles up the fan base more than seeing one of their favourites and someone they know has worked their arse off and deserves it, get shafted by someone who doesn't. |

All you'd do is piss off the people who want to see the rock. They threw up the WM 40 press conference graphic during the staredown, it is over. |

Tweets that have aged so poorly, one might think they're wearing a Current Day Vince McMahon mask. |

I would have thought so too but going to Mania last year, there was an insane amount of casuals and this is still the Rock. Genuine question, when is the last time the Rock was booed more than cheered besides when he raised Roman's hand at the rumble? I hope they boo the shit out of it but they were losing their minds tonight. Philly needs to grease up those lightpoles, bring in the horses and finish their own story. |

Few people have ever been done as dirty as Cody tonight. They told him to go out there and negate everything he’s been talking about and building up on tv and in interviews.

Cody trades Damian Priest some weed for his MITB briefcase, Cody uses it to cash in on Roman after he beats Rock.
There.
