It's been 23 years and people still don't know why Rock won the title off Triple H at Backlash and not Wrestlemania the month before.
Trips just loves this shit I guess

Trips just loves this shit I guess The reason was pretty plainly stated by Mick Foley: they wanted a bigger Backlash buyrate so they could have two big ones in a row. Problem is, you can't do that so often it becomes an assumed practice.

If the big announcement tonight is that they are having the world and tag titles defended separately from now on, then I can definitely see them doing it at Backlash so Roman can then keep his Universal reign going past the 1000 day mark.

He beat the same guy 3 times, and came in 30 at the royal rumble. I'm not saying it was totally easy, I do think more could be done to build drama. Never once did it seem Cody was in danger of losing his spot at Wrestlemania or tbh it seemed like him winning was a forgone conclusion... Then do Cody vs Bobby Lashley for the right to take on Roman at 'mania after both hit the floor at the same time during the rumble, and/or give him a lower number at the rumble. It was still a wretched decision to have Cody bottle it on the biggest stage and not adding enough drama does not excuse that in the least. Idk I don't hate the decision that Cody loses at Wrestlemania especially if he wins it at something like Summer slam. It might even add to the story IF he does eventually win. It's all about how about how he bounces back from one of the biggest losses in his career.

So people saw Gary’s muddy cheeks get sprayed by his dad? Dude got hosed down, in public, by his father. Gary, in addition to being an asshole, was also kind of an odd duck. He used to do pushups in the school bathroom. He would later get suspended in high school for taking a picture of a special ed kid taking a dump. I want Gary to have won the title instead of either Cody or Roman.

Gary wins by taking a shit all over the Bloodline's locker room, thus forcing them to leave the arena.

I was just thinking that it must really suck if you are a kid who is a wrestling fan in this era where the company revolves around an unlikeable heel who never fraking loses and all your heroes are choke artists who can never beat him. If I was a kid I don't know what I would do. Probably wouldn't end up even being a life long fan and just look for something else to get interested in.

So Cody beats Roman at Backlash with help from Stone Cold? No, Roman beats Cody again, then bludgeons Stone Cold with a chair when he tries to help. For some reason, he also puts the kid that got Cody's weight belt through a table. Everyone holds up their index finger cuz WE DA ONES BABY.

We could be getting a real dream main event at SummerSlam like Cody Rhodes vs. Omos, but instead we'll be getting Roman Reigns vs. shitty ass Conor McGregor.

Y'know, after thinking about it, I don't even necessarily care that Cody lost, I'm just so f***ing tired of WWE refusing to have conclusions to their stories. Even Usos vs. KO/Sami didn't conclude because they randomly fought again during Cody vs. Roman. Like, why is it so damn hard to give wrestling storylines decent endings?

They could have done that by having Cody lose the title in short order to someone like Gunther instead of a choke job at WM.

There are no heroes anymore, this is part of the problem. Cody is arguably the one truly straight up hero on the roster.

I think a really telling show of that was that bit on the preshow where they asked a woman and a kid who they thought was winning the main event, and the kid was super enthusiastic that Cody was going to do it because of how cool he is while the woman just kind of dryly went, "Roman, it's always Roman." And then she was the one who was right.
