The Cody Rhodes Story Thread (IT'S OVER)

[Chiral]

“What I will say about that is, it’s always interesting to me when people say, ‘How could that happen?’ Or, ‘How could they do that in that moment?’ And it’s almost perfectly spelled out in this story. ‘I need to finish the story.’ In the WWE, the story never finishes. Tomorrow night on Raw, in the sold out Crypto Arena, the story continues. The story takes another chapter. We just got to the end of the chapter, but the story continues and that’s where this gets interesting to me. So you know, I think that is what is the most amazing thing about our business. The story never ends.” —HHH on the WM39 Reigns/Rhodes finish

[UN PLOMBIER NIGHTMARE #blm]

If this doesn't somehow get the title on Cody, I am sorry if it is immature but I am going to have lifelong heat with the rock. This is straight up bullshit. That feud does NOT need the title, this title reign does not need to go for thousands of days. It already annoyed me when he took the main event with Cena twice and that was f***ing forever ago. God damn it this makes me so upset for Cody.

I can't believe what I just saw. Is this real life.

They never said Cody and Roman was never happening. It'll likely be at EC.

Roman isn’t flying to Perth.  Let’s be real.

And if he is, do you think they’re giving up the Rock-Roman match they’ve been begging Dwayne for to be a non-title match?

[The Kevstaaa]

This is historically bad.

[chronocross]

Rock said that doesn't work for me brother Cody, have fun opening Night 1 of Mania.

Hard to give a damn now, Cody will probably face Seth and win the Raw title.

Not a fan of Rock/Roman at all.

He feels so useless now, I'm not against Seth retaining.

Seriously.

And Cody will lose. Roman is not dropping the title outside of Wrestlemania at this point. And Rock isn't winning against Roman at Mania either.

There'll be steak and sushi on that plane!

[khali]

Keep in mind they’re going to do Cody and Seth moments after Reigns buried that title as being the b title that means nothing.

[stevescorpio]

The worst part is that Cody/Seth is not an intriguing match. It was done to death in 2022.

That match is going to be the world title and it's gonna be the Night 2 main event

Any other scenario is pure cope at this point. This is what it is.

Yeah remember when people were like "Of course Seth gassed up that title it means something now!" and in one promo Roman just buried it six feet under again

The belt's a consolation prize, it always will be.

[mo]

So it’s Rock and Roman and Mania? That’s crazy, they had something big with Cody in their hands and said “no thanks!”

[BRV]

It ain’t gonna be a triple threat either, so let’s snuff out that hope. Cody hugged The Rock and straight up walked out of the ring and left. He won the Royal Rumble and is treating his title shot like it’s a Money in the Bank he can cash in at SummerSlam or whatever.

Seth buried Roman’s title on Monday for never being defended.

He should challenge the real champion.  Gunther.

and lose.

["The Natural" Bustin Loads]

This is really stupid, but I think it's happening.

There's no reason to have Cody say he isn't doing it at Mania if he isn't. If it was a swerve to set up a triple threat, you'd have more weeks of Cody agonizing his decision. I think it's happening and they're either A) panicking because of the Seth/Punk injuries or B) Rock is insisting on Mania because EC wouldn't be on a prime US viewing time.

Want to confirm before I sell my Night 2 ticket but I'm only flying across if it was Cody/Roman.

[Xxcjb01xX [PIECE OF: SH-]]

Cody legit opened up that promo with "YOU SCREWED ME OUT OF MY CHANCE, I HAD YOU, AND YOU KNOW I DID" just to end it with "But y'know what? I'm good"

Like I have never seen someone look so embarrassingly bad in a promo since... Cody on the Post-RAW after Mania, when he showed respect after losing via cheating... ironic.
