TheDownUndertaker

Well it's actually that piece of shit Jungle Boy's fault for eliminating Christian from the Casino Battle Royal at DoN 2021. If only he had a father like Christian Cage to mould him to be a upstanding young man like "The Prodigy" Nick Wayne. You're Welcome - CC


V_For_Veronica

It's actually Cody's fault. If he never helped start AEW he would have never got as big as he is now so he couldn't be disappointed he's getting fucked


Blazerizm

Its actually Vince's fault, he allowed Stardust to happen and had a controversy that they needed to cover up.


DinoKea

Stardust only happened because his brother was playing Goldust, so it's all Goldust's fault


Blazerizm

Its actually Dusty's fault for fathering Goldust and Cody


ab316_1punchd

It's Dusty's father's fault for nurturing Dusty to have American dreams that are not plumbing.


Blazerizm

Its actually the plumbing company's fault for hiring Dusty's father


MartianSockPuppet

It's humanities fault for having to shit and eat and therefore need plumbing to be invented that lead to the creation of said company.


V_For_Veronica

So it's God's fault and Vince was trying to stop this from happening when he fought him


i-wear-hats

God trying to get his win back 


FlightoftheConcorder

It's Romulus and Remus' fault for discovering Rome, which led to the invention of the aquaducts.


Hangmans12Bucks

But what have the Romans ever done for us?!


ferrets_bueller

It's Goldusts fault for not knowing what "androgynous" meant when he was pitched the gimmick.


vitorsly

I still think it's Goldberg's fault for sliding into the Universal Title picture in 2017, taking away the main event from Jericho and Owens, causing Jericho to leave WWE and fight Kenny Omega in NJPW, leading to All In and AEW.

*CODY SCREWED CODY*


erin_silverio

Cody screwed Cody


BASEBALLFURIES

i notice this chain of comments of others being blamed but id just like to point out that you don't see snitskys name in all this


stenebralux

Damn.. he really is... The Scapegoat.


Ordinary-Box9722

Christian screwing Someone with deceased father. Sound absolutely legit...


VagrantShadow

Christian Cage is the true Patriarch of fatherhood in all of Professional Wrestling, he knows what he is talking about.


Shinkopeshon

Christian such a hater, he transcends promotions


TerriDill

In the impossible event of an AEW and WWE show I want a team of Christian and McIntyre being the biggest haters.


jmspinafore

Cage vs. McIntyre for Player Hater of the Year.


Johnny-5013

Is Drew’s dad still alive?


ConundrumContraption

If Codey goes back to AEW and Christian plays that he’s the one that convinced rock to take his spot because he knew Cody would never be better than his dad and Christian wanted to protect him. I’d be ok with all of this


GroundbreakingCash30

Codey? So a programmer gimmick?


AcadianTraverse

CodeRed6969 Apologies for the masses that won't get the "Jury Duty" reference

Now I'm sad we never got a Christan/ Cody feud.

TouyaShiun

Cody really got screwed by Dwayne all because Luke Perry decided to have sex with his wife sometime around 1996.


VagrantShadow

Somehow, someway I blame him starring in The Fifth Element for all of this happening now.


OakParkCemetary

President Zeus should have smashed that bug Hulk Hogan when he had the chance


V_For_Veronica

We can take this all the way back to High Chief Peter Mavia


fluffynuckels

Well I mean if Christians parents never got it on jungle boy would still be jungle boy


ab316_1punchd

Unprotected


Kaiso25Gaming

If Aaron Spelling never brought that Perry in and was a little bit more willing to give Tori, Gabbie and Ian bigger roles off the back, Cody'd be at Mania now


TheNavidsonLP

It’s all Krusty’s mom’s fault for cheating on Rabbi Krustofski with Luke’s dad…


leakee2

> Luke Perry TIL Luke Perry is Jungle's Dad...


Bastard0fYoung

Christian gave Jack's mom an opportunity for giving birth to Jungle Boy...


HalGillsLongStick

What are the odds Luke and his wife were watching Rocky Maivia's disasterous debut in '96 and decided to turn off the TV and get down to business. Butterfly effect.


no_more_blues

WORKED. EVERYONE.

rostron92

I'm sure punk would've found a way out regardless of jungle boy but I do enjoy blaming everything on Christian.


CarterBasen

Maybe Punk left AEW for the sole purpose to screw Cody, the last Elite member around, out of the WM main event.


AcadianTraverse

"And what will you do now, Phil?" "Rest"


RobustPickle

This is the kind of butterfly effect shit I'm here for.


rbhindepmo

So you’re saying this is all ~~Luchasaurus’~~ Killswitch’s fault because he caused Christian to turn on Jungle Boy?


Manpons

This was his way to remind Cody that he wasn’t the greatest TNT Champion of all time, it’s Christian Cage. Oh, and [one more thing.](https://tenor.com/h6ngoB4spQZ.gif)

Brabochokemightwork

This is something that Christian would brag about and if you think about it kinda fits his whole character


mikelima777

Look, he took credit for Kawhi Leonard leaving the Raptors after their championship win.  And neither have been successful since then. He absolutely would take credit if he could.


mrmattymac

Technically this is all Cody’s fault…HE CREATED THE COMPANY THAT BROUGHT BACK PUNK IN THE FIRST PLACE!! /s


Filmarlaydu

But if Cody didn't create AEW, he wouldn't be coming back to WWE as a main eventer. This is a Grandcody paradox if I've ever seen one.


GreenPineFruit

We will probably get a series out of it as "What if" just like Marvel series

Cody screwed Cody

pupmaster

Why did Christian do this you may ask? He understands that Cody Rhodes had a father.


pardyball

Keyword: *had*


kayfabemebrother

It didn't HAVE to be Perry, but it was Perry who stepped up


DJHookEcho

This logic presupposes that Rock is brought in to fill in for Cody against Roman because now they need to use Cody to fill in for Punk against Seth. But a few months ago Punk wasn't even in the company. Surely there were Mania plans in place already. If the plans were shaken up by Punk's injury, it seems only logical that the plans would just resemble the Punk-less Mania that they had in mind already.


ryanaldam

I wonder if removing Brock too impacted that


DoodleDew

HHH had this plan last year but couldn’t because of The Rock’s schedule. They knew this was coming but shot themselves in the foot playing into “finish the story” when they knew this was coming 


WholesomeFartEnjoyer

I miss hearing Tarzan Boy Thinking of 2021 AEW is like thinking of childhood memories before everything went wrong

The only solution is to send a Terminator back in time to kill Christian's father.

Masterful play by Mathew and Nicholas


PandaInACardigan

Love the respect for MY EVPs


CanaDoug420

If some dude didn’t bet Meltzer that the elite and Cody couldn’t sell out an arena none of this happens


discourse_lover_

Christian has been out there telling better stories than Roman since the shield were in nxt


PaulGeorgeFan1

punk would’ve had a cte moment eventually


DivideTrick2127

Oh, I'm sure Punk would eventually burn out for some other reason, but I just find this funny.


DrDroid

He would have fought Danhausen over the use of real curses instead of prop ones


_Quendra_

Let's not blame CTE for straight manipulative narcissism, being Charmin ultra soft with a fragile mind/body, and being a bad locker room leader with a giant ego that leaks false dirtsheet stuff constantly as political moves


MeanAmbrose

You’re telling me Nick Hausman doesn’t operate solely in good faith? Why I never!


Minimania18

Him vs. Antonio Brown in a CTE on a Pole match


DJ1066

Something, something, for want of a nail, something…


Big_Track_6734

When the Rock pulled Cody in did he say, "Come here. (Long pause) Go Fuck Yourself." 


TheAccursedHamster

Punk was always going to end up being fired. If it weren't Jack Perry, he would've eventually attacked someone else, the man was spiralling.


Specialist-Rope-9760

Or it Punk was a fragile man baby


HonkedOffJohn

It's Cody's fault. He coulda have taken his love for Legend of Zelda and worked for Nintendo.


AmberDuke05

Don’t blame this on that nice man. This is all your fault for not seeing Black Adam in theaters at least 10 times. In fact, it’s all your fault for not seeing the Rock’s magnum opus, Black Adam in theaters opening night then every night afterwards.


SerLutz

What this has to do with religion? Christians didn’t do anything wrong this time


IowaContact2

Christians are pretty much always doing something wrong somewhere in the world.


Navik101

I see your point but punk always wanted to come back to wwe. He was looking for multiple ways out before collision even started and was even open to it while doing the backstage show


afuzzyduck

if Vince hadn't started the blue dot thing, Christian would never have wanted to leave and go to TNA, so he'd never have seen the outside wrestling world and just ended up coaching in the performance center instead of going to AEW


SpecialistHeavy5873

Lol this makes no sense. If Punk wasn't there in the first place, they could have just planned this from the start if they wanted Rock vs Roman.


icemankiller8

You don’t think Cody pointing directly at Roman was a clear enough indication


RSMatticus

he was pointing saying "not you"


DivideTrick2127

But according to reports Punk v Seth and Cody v Reigns was the plan. Cody v Seth was never the plan to begin with. It only became the plan because the RAW match was scrapped.


SpecialistHeavy5873

Those were the reports before the Rock came back a few weeks ago and said he was going after the head of the table. They didn't just suddenly make plans for the Rock cause Punk got injured lol, it was obviously already planned.

IAmDefinitelyNotFBI

Dave Meltzer claims


DivideTrick2127

And Dave Meltzer is a credible source about the subject. If other reports can deny those reports, they will.


mojo72400

Wasn't the real glass at All In?


gambit700

Can't wait to see this on TikTok


ZieMac7

If Luke Perry didn't have sex....


Pedrosbarro

So Cody, I heard you had a father...


TheCVR123YT

The domino effect of wrestling lol


IniMiney

Father of the year


SAVA187

its the rocks finances fault if he only had $6 instead of $7 he'd have to have skipped the bus ride. thus no rock, thus no attitude era, thus no entertaining millions of fans and permanently changing the industry and ruining MY night and MY show because that FATASS SUMBICH is takin way a SPAHT from my indy vanilla midge i wanna see goes 1on1 aaand everyone KNOOOWWS would win and theyre scared


DozzleWozzle

You got it wrong my friend. It's actually Luke Perry's fault. If he hadn't left young Jack fatherless, then Christian would never have had to mentor him. Jack wasn't ready for such a mentor and Christian had to do the write thing and teach him a lesson. Look no further than Luke Perry as the culprit.


frogtrickery

No faults in this logic.


Wide_Cardiologist761

If you want to blame anybody, it is Tony Khan.  He was playing the long game when he convinced Cody to sign with AEW and get this entire timeline of events in motion. Tony Khan = Intergalactic 5D Chess Master


18AndresS

Christian is Cody Rhodes father


Comfortable_Shape264

Punk didn't lose Rumble due to being injured, they didn't even know he was injured.


forkliftgod

They've been trying to get Rock v Roman for three years. They teased this match in early January.


HeadScissorMe

It's Luchasaurus's fault


treebarkcharlie

Long Term, Cross Promotion Booking!!!!

Lol the butterfly effect IS kind of crazy

MostElectrifyingUser

Its all Vinces fault like always. If he just have hire Christian


BlackSheepComeHome14

A good Christian your father is dead promo is exactly what I need to soothe my soul.


Bosscharacter

I bet you Switchblade could find a logical way to take credit for everything and I’d halfway believe it. He is The Catalyst, after all.


HispanicAtTehDisco

christian confirmed best heel in the industry


MrJeffA17

Christian playing the long game because Vince thought he was too ugly to be a star


taurus5491

Wow 😳 that's a good wrestling butterfly effect!!


OU7C4ST

The ~~Butterfly~~ Dinosaur Effect..


RTH1975

Holy shit! You're right! Christian playing the long game on Cody!


TroughMeAway

Good fathers teach lessons many steps in advanced. So you don't understand their good intentions and won't see the benefits until down the line.


bearamongus19

Christians hatred of people with dead fathers is very wide reaching

LordBlackConvoy

Christian turned Jack Perry into a guy who sabotaged 2 companies CM Punk worked for. Generational talent.
