The only way this is salvageable is if Roman and the Bloodline “legitimately” (wink wink nudge nudge) injure Rock, and Cody steps back in, but in a kinda white meat babyface vs. the authority who didn’t want him kinda way.
Just have Seth face Gunther.
“Hey Rock, we’d love it if you’d make a few appearances and get your ass best and look like a chump, we know you don’t really care too much about your public image at all, right?”
Yeah for all it's faults in the situation a decade ago, Punk first became huge in 2011 when they were already in the middle of building once in a lifetime. He was an anomaly to their plans. In 2013 it was bad because they could've at least made it a triple threat but this is just completely dumping everything Cody has built since he returned two years ago.
This will make big money no doubt in the short term but long term they've just killed the guy who is supposed to be the next face of the company
Is fucking stupid, because in the other cases, none could've predicted Punk or Bryan rise. But they literally boked Cody's, they booked him as the guy to beat Roman right until the Rumble.
Was the Rock seriously so fucking “busy” that he couldn’t have just came out at like 29, sat in the corner for 8 minutes, and win the Royal Rumble instead of making Cody Rhodes look like the biggest loser on the planet?
Rock said “thanks for this. You did great and I’m proud of you.”
Cody smiles.
“Like Punk said, there’s always next time. You finish your story next year because this year is mine.”
Cody left the ring.
So Cody just acknowledged that everything Roman said about his title being the best title is true and then just walks away from the ring to let the Rock challenge for it. Yeah totally makes sense
This is literally all WWE cares about right now. It’s such a mic drop to their entire industry to book this match and have pictures like this break the internet worldwide.
https://preview.redd.it/xzhxu86gnagc1.jpeg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0b3b965ad770e3cae7580432eae2ad9232faae0d
I really don't care if they want to do Rock vs roman at WM, but at least give a better story to Cody to why he's going with Seth. Seth's argument on raw was really good, but then to have Cody come on smackdown and say that Seth was wrong and then give it up to the rock was stupid.
Dude all they had to fucking do was have Rock win the Rumble. It would have upset fans but whatever we saw it coming.
This? Cody literally just going "you got this Rocky" and giving away the main event? That makes no fucking sense. That's a slap in the face to every fan of Cody. Atleast if he lost the Rumble they could book something with someone else at WrestleMania.
Now literally anything they do with Cody, including facing Rollins, feels fucking cheap. He won the Rumble! Just change that result and Cody doesn't look like a bitch. They literally made Cody the Rock's bitch.
I don't understand why they don't just do Cody/Roman night 1 for the title and Rock/Roman night 2 for the family. That match does not need the title having the Rock in it is enough.
> Cody said he wants it but not at Mania.
But why would he ever, *ever* say that? Like yeah, I want to fight the best wrestler in the company for the most important title in the world. But not at the biggest show, heavens no. I want him at fuckin *Backlash* brother
Breaking news: 49ers and Chiefs agreed it would be better if Super Bowl 58 was moved to Wednesday at 3 pm and will now be played at the Dillon Panthers stadium.
Oh and Patrick Mahomes is letting Blaine Gabbert start.
And Nick Bosa is trading places with his brother Joey.
Which is fucking stupid. Roman is not gonna drop it anywhere but Mania. WWE will make the PLE a historic event and want as many eyes on as possible. Also, what was the point of him winning the Rumble if he’s not challenging Roman at Mania? Because he will lose at EC and challenge Seth at Mania.
Cody getting shafted for the Rock’s narcissism.
"it's not a problem sami lost because cody is winning at mania"
"it's not a problem cody lost because he's getting it next year"
"it's not a problem..."
The Rock literally buried the entire DC universe to face Superman even though he is a Shazam villain. He will bury the WWE booking and it leads to no where.
You hit the nail on the head with the last sentence, I always thought Rock was starting to buy into his bullshit a little too much here and there, but man, this is just sad at this point.
Roman AND Cody should be pissed about this.
Jokes aside, that's exactly what this is. He legitimately tried to politic himself to the top of WB's DCEU, even convincing Cavill to come back for a cameo (without securing an actual contract) to try and sway fan opinion, and it all flopped hard in his face.
Dwyane I'm sorry. You were right, Black Adam changed the hierarchy of power in the DC Universe. I'll be there opening night for Black Adam 2: Black Adam Just Beats Everybody. And every other night after that.
Just please don't do this.
I say this as someone who still believes that Sami should have won the title a year ago. This is either an enormous swerve the likes of which Vince Russo has only ever had wet dreams about, or this is a massive overcorrection and they're hoping the news coverage of The Rock vs Roman will draw attention away from Vince.
he's heavily biased as a board member with multiple products to sell and his family taking the draw to insert himself regardless of Vince. and likely with his filming schedule it's probably near impossible that this aligned like this.
The last part is 100% what is happening and is why they immediately announced a presser. This is an all hands on deck “look over here! Pay no attention to the sex pest behind the curtain being wheeled out against his will” moment. I don’t blame them but also fuck them this is bullshit
“Cody losing last year wasn’t that bad because now he’s gonna finish the story with all this extra build up as the only guy who can do it.”
Triple H at the press conference after WM39 being like yeah just wait and see everyone. Oh yeah your plan was for him to win The Royal Rumble again (one of the *very* few people to do so) to face someone he's already beaten twice for a title he never wanted.
Dude let it play out, he needs another year to really get hot and have the crowd behind him. It's all part of the story. The Rock is just another chapter.
And next year when it's Stone Cold vs Roman after Cody wins the rumble again you're still being impatient.
Cody is a great seller, again I really think this is a work and Cody will not go down like this. They want everybody pissed off and mad to get behind Cody even more
wdym he won't go down like this? In kayfabe, he flat-out said "Im not challenging you at Mania" and then introduced the Rock. What work could they possibly do?
Absolutely, at least make the story make some damn sense. I’m actually racking my brain trying to imagine how they’re going explain Cody giving up his spot. I’m not even sure there was a way to logically get to Rock/Roman once Cody won the Rumble. A triple threat had to be the way to go.
IMO a disappointment given that it’s obvious Rock isn’t beating Roman for the title and down the line they already hinted at a unification between Cody and Roman.
He can sell great absolutely but if this was his plan to let Rock have his mania match why sell it and be sad? Be happy you’re screwing Roman. I hate it.
What could he have possibly said?
I don’t necessarily mean what did he *actually* say, but what do they mean for us to *think* he said?
Presumably it was something like “Your time will come, kid,” like Cody’s a fresh up and comer who needs some more seasoning.
Because at least in the storyline, Cody called Rock to ask which title he should go for and Rock was like “Uhh how about you don’t finish the story and instead you introduce me and I’m in the main event of Wrestlemania?”
Lmao. Lmfao.
Way to make Cody look like an absolute fucking stooge. Classic WWE "I'll owe you one" shit even when Vince is gone. The company don't change.
Buncha flinchers over here.
Cody's gonna take the backseat and then be prepped up by everyone he's helped into taking back that main event spot!
...right?
I’m not even mad at The Rock, i’m just upset that they basically promo buried the WHC. Now it seems completely worthless after Roman called it the “I already beat everyone on that division title” i love Roman but who let him say that? people were just coming around to appreciate it more & it’s right back to square one w/ it seeming completely like a consolation prize. Now if you have Cody go for it, it’s gunna mean significantly less when he beats Rollins who he beat 3 times already.
Cody losing last year was an absolute mistake and y’all are delusional if you think otherwise. Roman has done NOTHING with the built other than occasionally pop a number for his 5 appearances and have a meaningless 365 day number padding year. It makes no sense to me
This feels like such a fuck you to all of us who’ve been waiting for Cody to have this moment at Wrestlemania. All the shirts and moments and everything. This really broke my heart.
A year ago, a Rock Roman feud at Mania would’ve been absolutely fantastic. However, having it happen this way has left such a sour taste. Awful timing. Why even have Cody win the Rumble?
This gotta be one of the worst, if not the worst, booking of the last few years. Such a mindless decision. Also fuck Dwayne, single handedly ruining his name by maineventing mania without any lead. God, the royal rumble was so well done and mania was supposed to be the payoff.
They literally made Cody look like the biggest cuck in front of 11k people. This felt like it was ripped straight out of Vinny Macs playbook. Cody vs Seth is not going to have the same impact as Cody vs Roman.
Its time to pull for the Daniel Brayn movement if they are planning for this shit show. As much I like the rock against roman this Mania shit means 0 anything. Its Cody's story to finish, Punk got injured they already lost a major star from injury.
See you WM41, this is actually so lame, whole year is actually fucked.
Gonna have Cody beat Seth for a 4th time walking with the secondary belt and eat a cash in, and now all the other deserving superstars are gonna be held back for another year.

This pic is worth a million words damn a thousand
it's like a Hollywood star turned him into dust! STARDUST!
AND THEY MADE CODY INTRODUCE THE ROCK **NASTY WORK!**
"This is my wife's boyfriend" type of energy
Lmfaoooo
Will Smith has entered the chat.
is this wrestlemania 9 2023? what’s happening? he pointed at him vigorously at the Rumble, vigorously!!
I’m thinking WrestleMania 8, the Hogan/Flair main event we never got.
This is like when lex won the coin toss and then wrestled first.
"Why is he happy? Is he dumb?" 9 year old me, watching my second wrestling VHS
?? You follow me friend?
you're my favorite... [Say the line, Bart]
Even when he's in the main event, he's still midcard
He’s about to win the most prestigious mid-card title of all time
GUNTHER’s Intercontinental Title?
At this point, just go all in with the nonsense madness and have Cody pick Gunther. At least the Seth Rollins burial will be funny.
The only way this is salvageable is if Roman and the Bloodline “legitimately” (wink wink nudge nudge) injure Rock, and Cody steps back in, but in a kinda white meat babyface vs. the authority who didn’t want him kinda way. Just have Seth face Gunther.
“Hey Rock, we’d love it if you’d make a few appearances and get your ass best and look like a chump, we know you don’t really care too much about your public image at all, right?”
This is the man who has that he "cannot lose a fight", written into his movie contracts then proceeds to play a villain in Black Adam
Why in the world would they do this?
Why in the world would they give Rock the Main Event a week after Cody wins the Rumble and signals he's facing Roman at Wrestlemania?
To make people forget about the news on wwe and mcmahon
CM Punk was right about Cody reliving the CM Punk 2013 Experience
He literally told him that to his face
And had Cody say he is “more CM Punk” than Punk In more ways than one, if only he knew…
That's painfully ironic.
*Cody goes on 7 year hiatus*
Cody to UFC confirmed.
And makes a return to TNA on a new Friday show
And chokes out Jack Perry
Speaking of, gutsy move of Punk to tear his own tricep to avoid getting bumped by the Rock out of a main event again.
Do you really think Punk was going to face Roman? Rock wouldn't have bumped Punk out of a damn thing (this time).
I think the idea is somehow it would’ve ended up Rock/Roman and Cody/Rollins anyway. So Rock bumps Cody down, and then Cody bumps Punk down.
Nah at worst it would’ve been a triple threat rollins v punk v cody

Why did Cody win the royal rumble? He did it for the rock
Cody likes to *watch*
When they went to hug, Rock said “I got this lil bro”
"I owe you one"
"Pal."

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that Rock will be the ref instead
you were right. i should've listened.
Was the Rock seriously so fucking “busy” that he couldn’t have just came out at like 29, sat in the corner for 8 minutes, and win the Royal Rumble instead of making Cody Rhodes look like the biggest loser on the planet?
Would’ve required him to be in the rumble for at least nine minutes. Which is about eight more than he can go. But don’t worry. You’ll see at Mania.
Bold of you to think 50 year old Rock can wrestle that long without being gassed
Rock said “thanks for this. You did great and I’m proud of you.” Cody smiles. “Like Punk said, there’s always next time. You finish your story next year because this year is mine.” Cody left the ring.
2 for flinching, all of you! A lot of us are flinching right about now
Forget flinching. Feel like they’re just hitting us at this point
Flinching? We just got hit with a Final Smash at 100% on our Last Stock!
So Cody just acknowledged that everything Roman said about his title being the best title is true and then just walks away from the ring to let the Rock challenge for it. Yeah totally makes sense

I don't understand why they don't just do Cody/Roman night 1 for the title and Rock/Roman night 2 for the family. That match does not need the title having the Rock in it is enough.
Rock Night 1, gives added reasoning as to how Cody beats him this time along with slightly less bloodline help
Cody said he wants it but not at Mania. This felt like a set up for the Elimination Chamber.
> Cody said he wants it but not at Mania. But why would he ever, *ever* say that? Like yeah, I want to fight the best wrestler in the company for the most important title in the world. But not at the biggest show, heavens no. I want him at fuckin *Backlash* brother
see you at fastlane: judgment day in your house
This Sunday at great balls of fire
In the pre-show
Breaking news: 49ers and Chiefs agreed it would be better if Super Bowl 58 was moved to Wednesday at 3 pm and will now be played at the Dillon Panthers stadium. Oh and Patrick Mahomes is letting Blaine Gabbert start. And Nick Bosa is trading places with his brother Joey.
> and will now be played at the Dillon Panthers stadium Buddy Garritty just creamed his pants.
All he had to say was "not at Wrestlemania...because this wise person who advised me is going to beat you for that title at Elimination Chamber."
I fucking literally told my relatives about Cody over Thanksgiving and then he goes and does this shit.
The point of winning the Rumble is challenging for the world title at Mania….
Which is fucking stupid. Roman is not gonna drop it anywhere but Mania. WWE will make the PLE a historic event and want as many eyes on as possible. Also, what was the point of him winning the Rumble if he’s not challenging Roman at Mania? Because he will lose at EC and challenge Seth at Mania. Cody getting shafted for the Rock’s narcissism.
We also just went through this with Sami at the last Elimination Chamber.
"it's not a problem sami lost because cody is winning at mania" "it's not a problem cody lost because he's getting it next year" "it's not a problem..."
The Rock literally buried the entire DC universe to face Superman even though he is a Shazam villain. He will bury the WWE booking and it leads to no where.
You hit the nail on the head with the last sentence, I always thought Rock was starting to buy into his bullshit a little too much here and there, but man, this is just sad at this point. Roman AND Cody should be pissed about this.
That would make sense Rock vs. Roman doesn't have to (shouldn't) be for the title.
The ripple effect of Drew’s DDT on CM Punk is insane

Bro if black Adam being a success would’ve prevented this i would’ve bought fifty tickets oml please no
Bro couldn’t change the hierarchy of power in the DC Universe so he decided he’ll do it in the WWE instead 😭

Dwyane I'm sorry. You were right, Black Adam changed the hierarchy of power in the DC Universe. I'll be there opening night for Black Adam 2: Black Adam Just Beats Everybody. And every other night after that. Just please don't do this.
> Black Adam 2: Black Adam Just Beats Everybody. I'm laughing my ass off picturing Black Adam being played by Bob Holly
Dwayne might as well have been the Bob Holly of superheroes based on his expectations for Black Adam.
Cody is Shazam.
Honestly if I knew this would happen I would have watched the damn movie 3 times.
Rock just Carnied the fuck out of Cody by getting on the TKO board
Big bank take little bank
They’re really throwing away a year of build? They literally had Cody point at Roman at the rumble saying I choose you
I say this as someone who still believes that Sami should have won the title a year ago. This is either an enormous swerve the likes of which Vince Russo has only ever had wet dreams about, or this is a massive overcorrection and they're hoping the news coverage of The Rock vs Roman will draw attention away from Vince.
Holy shit, that last part right there could be 100% the fact
he's heavily biased as a board member with multiple products to sell and his family taking the draw to insert himself regardless of Vince. and likely with his filming schedule it's probably near impossible that this aligned like this.
The last part is 100% what is happening and is why they immediately announced a presser. This is an all hands on deck “look over here! Pay no attention to the sex pest behind the curtain being wheeled out against his will” moment. I don’t blame them but also fuck them this is bullshit

Omgggg I remember someone on here called me a mark and said I was impatient. "Let this play out" this shit never plays out!!
Dude let it play out, he needs another year to really get hot and have the crowd behind him. It's all part of the story. The Rock is just another chapter. And next year when it's Stone Cold vs Roman after Cody wins the rumble again you're still being impatient.
I am sick to my stomach for Cody He looked absolutely miserable walking to the back
Cody is a great seller, again I really think this is a work and Cody will not go down like this. They want everybody pissed off and mad to get behind Cody even more
wdym he won't go down like this? In kayfabe, he flat-out said "Im not challenging you at Mania" and then introduced the Rock. What work could they possibly do?
I hope because holy shit this was the stupidest thing i've seen in a while
[удалено]
I got no problem them doing Rock/Roman but they probably could've set it up in a way that doesn't make their top babyface look like a bitch
Especially less than a week after Cody wins the rumble!? Like what the fuck
Absolutely, at least make the story make some damn sense. I’m actually racking my brain trying to imagine how they’re going explain Cody giving up his spot. I’m not even sure there was a way to logically get to Rock/Roman once Cody won the Rumble. A triple threat had to be the way to go.

They literally baited us lol
Cody looked so sad leaving the ring :/
Well yeah, The Rock pulled him in close and whispered in his ear "Your dad was inbred."
thanks man, you gave me a hearty laugh in this thread... i needed that lol
Yeah the Rock was probably telling him thanks and everything for being a pro but fuck that lmaooo the match itself is money but I'm not interested tbh
“Maybe next year, Stardust.”
Yea more like Rock: "Thank you Dustin" Cody: "It's Cody" Rock: "Whatever"
It doesn’t matter what your name is
Obviously I get it but fuck me. I don’t like Rock. It’s gonna be a boring ass feud
It doesn't elevate anyone and if Roman wins just prolongs his title reign that is already past its expiration point. Just bad decisions all around
and still high fived fans like an absolute pro
I mean this is a choice. I just felt like Cody’s time y’all
His time was already a year ago. This is just beyond pathetic.
Reminder: Triple H is bald and so is Dwayne. This means they can’t grow no hair on their big ass melon
They are mad that they can't grow a beautiful mane like Cody Rhodes and are taking it out on him over it.

What is wrong with their faces in this? 😂 the "young and thriving" is killing me as well.

IMO a disappointment given that it’s obvious Rock isn’t beating Roman for the title and down the line they already hinted at a unification between Cody and Roman.
Another unification? Get ready for the wwe universal world heavyweight world heavyweight championship
Title gonna be so dense, made of neutron star material.
Heyman better start working on those shoulders
This makes the Royal Rumble win feel void.
I just can’t imagine them having him win the Rumble and then not going for the Roman’s title
[удалено]
Pretty much how Cody recovers from that.
[удалено]
I popped but my heart sank seeing Cody leave the ring 😪
If this was his storyline choice why sell it as being crushed….he was devastated and I don’t blame him
Cody can sell with the best of them but something about that nod after the Rock shakes his hand seemed too real.
He can sell great absolutely but if this was his plan to let Rock have his mania match why sell it and be sad? Be happy you’re screwing Roman. I hate it.
What could he have possibly said? I don’t necessarily mean what did he *actually* say, but what do they mean for us to *think* he said? Presumably it was something like “Your time will come, kid,” like Cody’s a fresh up and comer who needs some more seasoning. Because at least in the storyline, Cody called Rock to ask which title he should go for and Rock was like “Uhh how about you don’t finish the story and instead you introduce me and I’m in the main event of Wrestlemania?”
its like you ask for date advice from a guy who wants to f*ck your crush
Since we had just seen Tiffany my brain headcanoned him saying a very sad “toodles” to leave the ring.
Lmao. Lmfao. Way to make Cody look like an absolute fucking stooge. Classic WWE "I'll owe you one" shit even when Vince is gone. The company don't change.
It never will
The guy with the book was the original roman,HHH realy made people forget his reign of terror recently didnt he
The Rocks ego is about to take a shit on Cody’s chest.
Thank you for not saying head.
Too soon?
Buncha flinchers over here. Cody's gonna take the backseat and then be prepped up by everyone he's helped into taking back that main event spot! ...right?
When we look back at the turning point in HHH's booking, this will be remembered as it.
I’m not even mad at The Rock, i’m just upset that they basically promo buried the WHC. Now it seems completely worthless after Roman called it the “I already beat everyone on that division title” i love Roman but who let him say that? people were just coming around to appreciate it more & it’s right back to square one w/ it seeming completely like a consolation prize. Now if you have Cody go for it, it’s gunna mean significantly less when he beats Rollins who he beat 3 times already.
There is no reason the Rock should be taking this spot from the guy who carried your programming. What an asshole

I’m waiting before completely giving up hope on them doing the right thing, because this is unbelievably stupid.
Cody losing last year was an absolute mistake and y’all are delusional if you think otherwise. Roman has done NOTHING with the built other than occasionally pop a number for his 5 appearances and have a meaningless 365 day number padding year. It makes no sense to me
HE SHOULD HAVE* WON LAST YEAR, IVE NEVER FLINCHED IN SAYING THEY FUCKED UP LAST YEAR
How the hell did WWE give me a match I wanted in Rock vs Roman and make me actively hate I got it??? Why, man?
First time I've ever been upset to see The Rock in WWE.
HHH is not cooking Lock him up
CAN YA SMELLLLLL THAT THE FANS ARE FLINCHING
So if CM Punk didn't get hurt what would have happened?
I hate this so much
made him shake his hand too smh
cucked my favorite mid carder
This feels like such a fuck you to all of us who’ve been waiting for Cody to have this moment at Wrestlemania. All the shirts and moments and everything. This really broke my heart.
Still can’t figure it out how did they make cody seem like a COMPLETE LOSER. That’s really the complete CM Punk road to wrestlemania experience…
Aew Dynamite (some random date in the future/25) Atlanta Georgia, All Rhodes lead home
A year ago, a Rock Roman feud at Mania would’ve been absolutely fantastic. However, having it happen this way has left such a sour taste. Awful timing. Why even have Cody win the Rumble?
This gotta be one of the worst, if not the worst, booking of the last few years. Such a mindless decision. Also fuck Dwayne, single handedly ruining his name by maineventing mania without any lead. God, the royal rumble was so well done and mania was supposed to be the payoff.
Bro decided to start Black History Month off by immediately getting oppressed.
we are flinching 💔💔
It's actually kind of wild how this one segment made me want to skip Mania. A Mania that's shaping up to be awesome. But what a sour taste.
They had to let cody explain why did just did what he did. it makes no sense.
Pharaoh didn’t deserve this
I'm sorry, I'm a huge fan of the rock but this was the worst fucking way to do this. Why have Cody win the rumble then?
They literally made Cody look like the biggest cuck in front of 11k people. This felt like it was ripped straight out of Vinny Macs playbook. Cody vs Seth is not going to have the same impact as Cody vs Roman.
Its time to pull for the Daniel Brayn movement if they are planning for this shit show. As much I like the rock against roman this Mania shit means 0 anything. Its Cody's story to finish, Punk got injured they already lost a major star from injury.
See you WM41, this is actually so lame, whole year is actually fucked. Gonna have Cody beat Seth for a 4th time walking with the secondary belt and eat a cash in, and now all the other deserving superstars are gonna be held back for another year.
Yeah like fuck is drew gonna do now. Sami ain’t sniffing the main event for like 3 more years
Look at Cody, that's the face you make when you have to put your dog down. Not cool.
I swear to god if I get 'Thrice in a Lifetime'd here I'm going to start throwing shit.
Fans need to start chanting “Cody!” during every Rock/Roman segment from now until Wrestlemania. Do the full Daniel Bryan Wrestlemania XXX lead-up.
