Am I the only one who thinks this will play out like rocky in philly next year? Rocky didn’t beat Apollo in the first fight.

I don’t see any way Cody doesn’t beat Roman next year at Mania, barring injuries or WWE being stupid again for the second year in a row.

If this is going to play out like Rocky then Cody better persuade his best friend Roman Reigns not to come out of retirement and wrestle Gunther in a Exhibition match!

I've already decided I'm just going to sit out night two live and have someone let me know 1), if Roman loses, and 2), if the show's any good before I bother to watch it. I've been fooled by a good night one of Mania four times in a row now, not falling for it a fifth time.

Watch Cody get hurt and they try to stretch it out another full year.

I can easily see WWE being stupid two years in a row and have Cody bottle it again. In that case, I totally expect the Philly crowd to flood the ring with rubber chickens.

Rocky didn't beat Apollo but the movie/fight also wasn't really about winning either... Rocky didn't win but Apollo only won on points... putting to rest the idea that Rocky wasn't good enough to be in the position he was placed in. He went the distance and unlike everyone else stood toe to toe with the champion and the champion couldn't knock him out. Cody vs. Roman doesn't have any of that... they'll probably mention Rocky cause of where it is but it really doesn't fit at all. Cody was beating Roman until there was interference... that's literally any of Roman's matches since he became the tribal chief.

I mean I know he's taken like a couple months vacation but they are f***ing lucky as hell that Roman hasn't like completely destroyed his ACL or something during this title run.

Or, and I certainly hope it doesn't happen, leukemia or COVID if his immunity is still compromised.

Yeah, with the mania 39 L, I think the story is “Perhaps Cody’s story isn’t supposed to have a happy ending” but all the while, everything Cody predicted about the bloodline disentegrating has come to fruition. Just need to figure out Solo leaves.

I don’t know who the f*** will win. All I know for sure is that I’m not gonna get myself worked up about it in August.

What if this is the year Rock finally says yes and we get Rock/Reigns? The WWE would absolutely push Cody aside for that (and only that).

I kind of love that, at the rate we’re going, Cody could likely win and just as likely lose. They’ll make rocky references but Cody could easily choke twice in a row at the highest point. I could see them doing that for Roman.

I think you're getting way too hung up on whatever ambiguous anecdote you read. Roman's never seemingly been the type to never do business. HHH has a hard on for long heel title reigns. Between that, tv ratings and merch sales, that's why Roman is still champ. And with Heyman's WWE career has been a story of several backstage ups and downs. No way he has any real say on creative.

Yeah well it doesn't really matter whether he's saying it or WWE is, the dude's never dropping this belt at this rate even when it's so totally gonna be this time for sure, I've grown numb to the whole thing and to this Bloodline storyline going in a giant endless circle Shit's become way too tedious, especially since he's gonna be taking a like 2-3 month vacation very soon, love that we need a third world title because of this by the way, super fun!
