Cody keeps beating the allegations and I love that for him I feel like we're at the billionth time someone said people would boo Cody like they did over in AEW, and his cheers just get bigger and bigger instead. He's the company's top babyface now and there's really nobody coming close.

They’ve kept a ton of characters strong enough that they’d be able to pivot to another compelling story/feud . Yeah I'm sure they would but like, it does t wash away the stink of ruining the biggest show of the year just for a nebulous match that may or may not happen. Overlong builds are usually terrible ideas if they're predicated on a specific match happening at a specific time. Could you imagine if WM2000 had happened as it did but we never got the Backlash payoff? Because that's what this feels like to me.

Refresh my memory, was Cody in a Money in the Bank qualifier or did he just not compete in the fray for it?

Cody is such an entitled crybaby that he won't let his theme be used for anyone else in WWE 2K23.

So the payoff is Roman/Cody II at WM 40 right? This time with Cody winning?

They'll pull a clash at the castle and bring in yet another cousin so that Roman wins again.

Looking at where we are with Cody vs. Roman.
The only way Cody would win us if:
KO interferes Sami interferes Jimmy interferes Jey interferes Solo finally gives Roman the spike
And the END of the bloodline and the beginning of Cody. Would it damage Cody too much if 5 guys all intertwined with this storyline helped Cody end Roman?

Would it damage Cody too much if 5 guys all intertwined with this storyline helped Cody end Roman? I’m not sure it matters that much, to be honest. Steve Austin was coronated as the man at WM14 off the fastest count you’ve ever seen by someone who wasn’t actually the referee. Mick Foley’s legendary title win was off of Austin’s chair shot, not his own finisher. The idea that the big title win HAS to be definitively 100% clean… It’s one of those things that isn’t as necessary as it might seem as long as the crowds are hot for it.

The story being Roman has pissed off a lot of people and they’re coming to get revenge on him works as a finale for the Tribal Chief.

Yeah, as cathartic as it might be for Roman to go down clean, he deserves to go down dirty after cheating for the past 3 years to hold onto the title.

Yeah, at this point, it doesn't especially matter HOW it's done, if it's done and the title changes hands.

WrestleMania and RAW After Mania were still super bitch made moments He's bounced back since but that wasn't an overreaction imo that shit was terrible when it was happening lol
