Drew needs to end the show as champion, dude needs the win a hell of a lot more than Seth does. He was the right choice for the first champion, but it needs to end. Heβs almost definitely not winning the title tonight , imo. Seth retains and we maybe get a CM Punk confrontation.

If Andrade is the βformer WWE championβ to appear that would be some Dixie Carter level borderline false advertising lol. Like that time she announced a βformer world championβ was debuting and it turned out to be Al Snow. I guess she considered the Hardcore/European titles to be world titles. I know Andrade was technically in WWE and held titles but when you say former WWE champion most people take that to mean the main WWE title. Iβm still hoping for Batista and him finally going into the hall of fame. TNA legit did this where they spent the whole week pushing a former TNA champion returning and it ended up being former X Division Champion Frankie Kazarian coming back for a random six man tag in the middle of the show.

Given that the semifinals of the College Football Playoff are tonight (Michigan vs. Alabama in the Rose Bowl and Washington vs. Texas in the Sugar Bowl), don't be surprised if the ratings are underwhelming because this is gonna be FIERCE competition.
I'll be flipping channels like a motherf***er myself.

Heβs almost definitely not winning the title tonight , imo. Oh well. At least he won't be ending the show serenading the crowd with a rendition of Sweet Caroline.

I'm probably mixing it up with the big holiday house shows but I could've swore Cody/Nakamura was announced for this show. I guess not.
It probably needs to be ended on TV in the coming weeks though because I don't think the timing works out for them to get a PPV match. Cody will surely be in the Rumble match and hopefully not pulling double duty. I hate when wrestlers have matches earlier in the PPV then come back out for the Rumble. Save everyone's big first pop for the main match.

A lot of people were theorizing Mercedes butβ¦. If itβs an actual former WWE Champion, and not vaguely meant to be a holder of any belt..considering the wordage used of βcrossing the finishing lineβ and even Hunter tweeting about it?.. my guess is Rock. No idea if heβs busy or scheduled doing something though. Otherwise could be anyone from Batista to RVD, Ziggler, who the hell knows. Cody i.. I just want to say i love you, dawg.

Taking it with a grain of salt because while that Boozer guy on Twitter gets most things right he's still gotten stuff wrong but right now he's hinting that: {Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW}Roman v Rock will happen at EC in Australia and then obviously Roman/Cody at Mania.
Lol would be a hell of a show of faith in Cody to put the dream match people have been talking about for years on the "smaller" show so Cody gets the big win at Mania. It would be by far the best case scenario though. You get to have your cake and eat it too with the huge Roman/Rock match one month then Cody getting his moment the next.

Yeah, {Spoiler}{Spoiler}I always thought of having that in the form of rock/roman on night one, Cody and Roman night two (or vice versa) but this makes more sense..either way I just love the reaction of Cody and his fans being like And there's Jolly ol' Saint Nick im going to f*** Cody so Hard

It would be Priest and Bad Bunny in Puerto Rico placement all over again.

That's not a slight on her but literally nothing in wrestling (that's realistic in 2024) could be bigger than that match.

Wasn't there a report a few weeks ago that ticket sales weren't as strong as hoped due to it being during the height of Aussie summer? Putting The Rock on the bill against Roman would move quite a few tickets.
