I actually buy Cody winning being Vince's plan. And IF it is true...then wow

I can 100% buy it being Triple H's plan for Cody to lose because 1), NXT spent a lot of its time under him being misery porn, and 2), it was the exact same goddamn finish as Clash at the Castle.

So could we actually see Cody win the belt this year?

The funniest part of all this is implying that HHH f***ed up so badly that VINCE MCMAHON saw it as a line too far, took over RAW and potentially all of creative again, and then booked Cody... getting mauled by Brock Lesnar for ten straight minutes
It's always been said that if Vince likes you, it's a curse all its own lol

Also the way he tried to justify the story wasn't over and to tune into RAW just for RAW to be further Cody misery booking wasn't a very good indication that he actually ever wanted to believe in Cody Rhodes and give him the biggest moment tbh.

It sounds like according to Wade Keller, it was a HHH decision to have Cody lose. Vince wanted Cody to win. I guess that doesn't really surprise considering Triple H's love for long heel reigns and perhaps Cody destroying the throne. (language warning obviously)

Thus pivot Cody to Brock to build momentum without losing to Roman again.

If Trips decided to have Roman retain because Cody destroyed a cheap prop from a cheesy 80's Sword and Sorcery movie, then that is petty AF. "I once booked a man to lose a Wrestlemania main event because he said Hawk The Slayer was rubbish. When what I should have said is Cody, you're right, but let's give Krull a try and we'll discuss it later."

Still doesn't make Cody look good but that's been said by so many more people than me Idk what Roman does now but the booking and shift for Cody regardless if they go back to him really does just make him look as bad as you can get right now... guess we'll see how things go, wish the outlook was better lol.

I mean this is the same dude that cut a “people like you don’t get to be champ” promo on Booker T and then beat him at Wrestlemania. All bets are off when it comes to ENDLESS HEEEEEEEAT.

HHH has always been thin skinned as f***, but I bet he was like, "If we just hold off on Roman losing a little longer, it'll make the moment that much bigger!!!" kinda like when he pinned Goldberg at SummerSlam. It wouldn't surprise me if that is case since Triple H kind of sounded that way at the presser, but it also wouldn't surprise me if a moneywrench happens before then like Roman getting injured. They had lighting in a bottle that they should have capitalized on, but now are playing with fire.

It was a very pro-Vince report from Keller, other stuff was about how he didn't rewrite raw & some wrestlers aren't opposed to his return (he speculated Bayley), he has his sources and all this might be true but it's also possible that pro-Vince guys and pro-HHH guys in the company are using the wrestling media to put their own spin on events.

Yeah I know I'm jaded as f***, but that was all a little too "pro-Vince" to not be suspect. And if Vince wanted Cody to win. Cody would have won. HHH has no stroke over Vince. If Vince wants something he gets it. I'm gonna sit back and see how this plays out before I whiplash to "OMG now HHH is the evil one, poor Vince just wants to help!" Like we go from "Vince was rewriting the show as it was happening" to "he wasn't doing any re-writes, just suggestions" when we literally saw production people being handed rewrites from fans in attendance. C'mon....

So could we actually see Cody win the belt this year? Roman still has records to break this year, so probably not. Cody getting absolutely destroyed by Beastie Boy looks like the start of more Lesnar - Reigns.

And then he decided the man who ended racism shouldn't be champ. Triple H more like Triple K am I right {Spoiler}{CLICK TO SHOW}this is a joke please dont take this seriously

C'mon.... Same here. I'll wait first and see how it plays out it given it was said that Cody losing was the plan all along, but until then, I'm in the mindset that if Vince really wanted Cody to win, he would've made sure it would happen.
