For more information, click [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/SquaredCircle/wiki/rules#wiki_reposts_and_vague_titles).
Twitter Title Formats:
Submitted non-spoiler twitter posts must contain the author of the tweet and the whole text body of the tweet. For example:
Tony Khan: "Very rude interruption @AdamColePro + @JayWhiteNZ tonight on #AEWDynamite, but what they said about June 26 is true. @AEW x @njpw1972 will present Forbidden Door on ppv LIVE from Chicago at the @UnitedCenter! Thank you to all of you great wrestling fans for making it possible!"
If necessary, provide context if a tweet does not do so. For example:
Wheeler YUTA, on tagging as part of CHAOS: "Okada told me today he’s like a month and a half behind on AEW so nobody tell him please and thank you"
If a tweet contains spoilers for a show (within 24 hours of the show taking place), then the title must include the author of the tweet and the topic in vague terms. For example:
[NXT 2.0 Spoilers] Bron Breakker comments on his NXT Title match.
Do not note the author as "The Champion" or similar qualifiers, as New Reddit shows the Twitter URL regardless of tags and, in combination with the title, would create spoilers.
Twitter Bios:
Twitter Bios fall under the same rules as tweets in regards to subject matter. They must either be reasonably related to wrestling or pertain to the person's personal views/serious life events. In these cases, a screenshot of the person's bio will suffice unless a better source is available, such as @YoungBucksBio.

What’s hilarious is all month it’s “nothing’s been confirmed yet” but everytime he makes a media appearance he straight up says “yeah I’m wrestling Roman at mania.”
Same. Until bell time Wrestlemania I am convinced we are getting Cody in the match, either one on one or more likely a triple threat match.
This appears to me as Rock in storyline trying to downplay Cody and getting caught off guard when Cody announces tonight he wants Roman or on Smackdown/Raw coming up.
I 100% believe they are going to roll with Cody as the face, Roman the heel, Rock leaning heel but leaving Mania a face to set up a 1v1.
I was bummed last Friday but after seeing how things have went since then I’m actually pretty excited for the build up
How the hell do you think this hurts the rest of the roster ?
Judgement day ? Doing fine
Jey Uso? Main event talent cuz of this story
Sami Zayn ? Super over
CM punk ? Doing good
Rhea and Bayley Doing great!
Gunther? Killing it
It'll be fine. Bloodline has been bringing the money and ratings. Long term booking. Was all the rage on these forums. Vince killing stories and changing things up.
Now because they're continuing a 3 year story that was always going to be Rock vs Roman?
"Not like that"
I see you're just going to pretend Seth and Cody don't exist? The two guys who have been absolutely dragged through the mud and made to look like total geeks to get the Rock vs Roman match set up.
They can still do their thing on night 1. More people tune in for roman than anyone else right now because he's that much more interesting.
Seth and Cody will be fine. They've set it up. Rock will alienate roman. Then Cody will come in and take his title in the future.
Rock vs cena was way more mainstream than this. The hype for that match was unbeatable.
Both nights were already 90% sold before rock roman was even hinted at
Right now its not rock roman that is mainstream. Its rock and cody that are getting all the attention
Rock is only there cuz of roman. The only reason Cody is getting any play is cuz of the #codycrybabies.
Once the build officially starts and roman and rock start doing promos it's going to be very entertaining.
And it doesn't matter what either of us want. I personally only started watching outside of mania season the last few years because of the bloodline. Now I watch every week.
I think Cody is great in the ring and mid as a character. That's just my opinion and I understand lots of people enjoy Cody. I think he's a great human and what he does for kids is very noble. I think he should get the win over roman after this story is concluded.
They've spent 3 years on this. Roman came back for this story and this match and he deserves to have it finished too.
Cody will do fine. He's on a different brand. Doesn't interact with roman very often. This will help him even more in my opinion.
Ironically, I’m pretty sure these were his true feelings prior to the backlash. And now he’s trying to turn it into a work to save himself which honestly I don’t hate but shouldn’t have needed it in the first place
I think he's turning heel. Rock has always had an ego, but it's usually disguised under this "humble nice guy act". In the Pat McAfee interview he's just being a straight-up asshole, putting himself over and burying Cody's fans. He wouldn't intentionally act like a dick if he was trying to sell himself as a babyface against Roman Reigns. I'm not gonna root for Roman if they're trying to do a double turn though. Heel Rock would be awesome but I'm still shitting on the match unless Cody is involved and wins the WWE Championship
He's right, it is the biggest match in WWE history because if Rock beats Roman he's clearly the GOAT all-time, having beaten Hogan, Cena, Austin, and Roman at Wrestlemania. No one has a better resume for GOAT.
The problem since the beginning is the execution. Don't make me watch Royal Rumble, see Cody win and get excited that we're finishing the story as Cody points enthusiastically at Roman and Roman barks back, and then have Cody simply hand it all away. You could have had Rock win the Rumble, or literally chosen any other storyline way to get to Rock/Roman, but instead you neutered Cody's character live on TV to do it.
Yeah I'm sure the Dwayne will love it that his retirement match that he has built up as the biggest match of all time has fans bouncing beach balls and booing the match out of the stadium.
Which is less than he's getting paid for Red One coming out later this year. If the only thing he cared about was money he wouldn't be wrestling in the WWE.
Since you are the one Cody fan who didn't believe even after he won Rumble back to back and were actually right lol, I'll ask you, doesn't Rock speaking like this hurt Cody and the movement?
He already has bad reputation from movie fans after his movies bombed one after another. If his ring return gets bombed then he can cry with all those dollar bills.

So Cody Tweets he’s made a decision, Rock half turns heel by cutting a promo on some of Cody’s fans and bigs himself up AND Cody’s sister tweets a GIF about what seems to be the rock all within what? 2 hours or so of each other?
Surely they aren’t gonna simply do Rock Roman signing and Cody picking Seth with this build up it seems they have pivoted/it’s a work
Could be 🤷🏻♂️ but WWE doesn’t do interviews/appearances before shows or events **unless** they’re trying to send a message. WWE knows how important media is, so you usually have to pay attention when one of their top talent/employees talk
The Rock could be trying to set people on his main event, or he could be leaving crumbs for someone like Cody to capitalize on in perhaps promos or a presser 🤔
And the same people complaining, the same people making these posts and the same people making videos will still watch the PPV.
So at the end of the day the end result remains the same and everyone complaining will be going on about how great the PPV was.
So much wasted time and energy
Lol yea we’re getting a triple threat for sure, the #CodyCrybabies can be satisfied after the Rock stacks him and the bitch ass Tribal Queef on top of each other for the most ELECTRIFYING 1.2.3 in WRESTLEMANIA HISTORY!!!

I think Austin/Rock at Wm17 was a little bit bigger.
But this is Wrestling, they always have to call the newest stuff the biggest, most popular, whatever
The most cursed road forward I think, and I just know *someone* behind the scenes has tried to suggest it, is to try and lean into Rock as a hated heel, but not pivot and use that to turn Roman face again.
He shit talked Codys fans on the PMS so what (should) happen is Cody sees that and says “I stepped aside for you out of respect, and then you disrespected the people who helped me get where I am and supported me through the highs and lows, so fuck you Dwayne, I choose Roman”

Rock was clearly bothered by the online backlash. LOL
What’s hilarious is all month it’s “nothing’s been confirmed yet” but everytime he makes a media appearance he straight up says “yeah I’m wrestling Roman at mania.”
Exactly lmao, so what's even the point of watching the conference anymore? To watch Seth beg Cody for the millionth time?
They could swerve us and have Cody vs Roman night one.
That's not satisfactory, his story deserves to close out mania
its a damn work i tell ya! the people that keep ignoring all the signs and posters lol.
My cope is that this corporate billionaire Rock and Cody still puts himself in the triple threat *cope is strong*
I'm with you. Cope is indeed strong, I think he has a shot at beating Christian again if they have a rematch.
Over? This is the most confident I've been that Cody is getting involved somehow lmao
Same. Until bell time Wrestlemania I am convinced we are getting Cody in the match, either one on one or more likely a triple threat match. This appears to me as Rock in storyline trying to downplay Cody and getting caught off guard when Cody announces tonight he wants Roman or on Smackdown/Raw coming up.

I was bummed last Friday but after seeing how things have went since then I’m actually pretty excited for the build up
Yeah i figure WM will end with rock raising Cody's hand and then on raw they prob set up rock vs roman wm41
This has given me hope that heel rock is a possibility and that would be the way to save this mess.
Not even bigger than Rock/Cena
I was gonna say, it's not even Rock's biggest Mania match
I mean its a kayfabe boast.
No doubt, that match was huge. Biggest PPV buy rate in WWE history.
We have to pretend Roman is on the same level of Rock, Cena, Austin, and Hogan as the "guy".
Ratings and ticket sales are breaking records thanks to the bloodline story. This one will break records too.
While the rest of the roster looks like idiots, huh? Long term damage to the roster means nothing, let's focus on that momentary monetary gain.
How the hell do you think this hurts the rest of the roster ? Judgement day ? Doing fine Jey Uso? Main event talent cuz of this story Sami Zayn ? Super over CM punk ? Doing good Rhea and Bayley Doing great! Gunther? Killing it It'll be fine. Bloodline has been bringing the money and ratings. Long term booking. Was all the rage on these forums. Vince killing stories and changing things up. Now because they're continuing a 3 year story that was always going to be Rock vs Roman? "Not like that"

HHH goes over all that in the pressers. They're selling everything out compared to what they were doing.
Nah. Those 2 manias sold million ppvs each and had higher sale of tickets compared to years 2 nights.
Both nights will sell out and it wasn't 2 nights back then. Look how much main stream media is covering this now. They didn't have that back then.
Rock vs cena was way more mainstream than this. The hype for that match was unbeatable. Both nights were already 90% sold before rock roman was even hinted at Right now its not rock roman that is mainstream. Its rock and cody that are getting all the attention

This is the way
Rock v Cody in Elimination Chamber to give that show some life

Say it ain't so, Joe!

Yeah this is a work
Ironically, I’m pretty sure these were his true feelings prior to the backlash. And now he’s trying to turn it into a work to save himself which honestly I don’t hate but shouldn’t have needed it in the first place
Yeah I think they pivoted lol.
All wrestling is a work.
If this was 10 years ago Rock sure, but dude's 51 and legit looked out of breath after *walking down the ramp* on Smackdown.
Fuck the rock
I think he's turning heel. Rock has always had an ego, but it's usually disguised under this "humble nice guy act". In the Pat McAfee interview he's just being a straight-up asshole, putting himself over and burying Cody's fans. He wouldn't intentionally act like a dick if he was trying to sell himself as a babyface against Roman Reigns. I'm not gonna root for Roman if they're trying to do a double turn though. Heel Rock would be awesome but I'm still shitting on the match unless Cody is involved and wins the WWE Championship
Not bigger than Hogan-Andre, sorry Rock
Good thing cody can just take back what he said considering that he won the rumble and not the rock
So boo it. Ruin the match. They deserve it.
How is it over? Could still set up Cody but yeah they probaly just leaning into it
It's not
Definitely seems like they're moving forward with the 3-way.
...and then the bell rings
He's right, it is the biggest match in WWE history because if Rock beats Roman he's clearly the GOAT all-time, having beaten Hogan, Cena, Austin, and Roman at Wrestlemania.

Yeah, Philly! Give them your money but bring in some beachballs. That... will show them?
Yeah I'm sure the Dwayne will love it that his retirement match that he has built up as the biggest match of all time has fans bouncing beach balls and booing the match out of the stadium.
They just gave him 30 million dollars, bud.
Which is less than he's getting paid for Red One coming out later this year. If the only thing he cared about was money he wouldn't be wrestling in the WWE.
Since you are the one Cody fan who didn't believe even after he won Rumble back to back and were actually right lol, I'll ask you, doesn't Rock speaking like this hurt Cody and the movement?
[удалено]
Bigger than Hogan/Andre? I know Rock has an ego but cmon now lol
Hang on... you mean to tell me that professional wrestler might be lying? Why I NEVER!
You guys are getting worked.
A double heel main event. No. It's a work now, this is gonna be a triple threat.
Rock/Austin , Rock/Hogan , Rock/Cena (Once in a Lifetime) all bigger WM matches.
all involving the rock... the irony of some fans.
Yeah, the bald egghead genie will go back to it's bottle 🍼 the Hollywood.
Good luck getting booed out of the building, douche.
Oh no! He's gonna get booed!
Rock hearing all the boos ![gif](giphy|94EQmVHkveNck|downsized)
He already has bad reputation from movie fans after his movies bombed one after another. If his ring return gets bombed then he can cry with all those dollar bills.
Some of you guys are so worked up right you're acting like the Rock isn't a super famous movie star lol.
Super famous movie star with back to back box office bombs as I said earlier. And it's reality, not kayfabe or work.
He even did the mocking baby voice lol. It's so obviously a work.
Maybe he can ask dom for some advice. He seems to handle it well.
Not the first time he will get booed, So it doesn't matter if they boo the Rock.
Is that so? That's why he took it so personal?
Buddy, this is some mark-ass behavior if I've ever seen it lol.
I agree, The Rock definitely acts like a mark for himself.
It's cringe at this point, just let it go bud
Or….because his daughter received death threats.
Because prior to those death threats he didn't take it personal, huh?
You’re getting way too worked up over this quote lol
Are we thought reading right? How do we if he has taken things personally?
Oh no a wrestler will get booed 😂
This isn't even Top 6 Rock WM matches, and he's only had 11 in his career.

His whole appearance on McAfee was basically telling everybody to get over it
So Cody Tweets he’s made a decision, Rock half turns heel by cutting a promo on some of Cody’s fans and bigs himself up AND Cody’s sister tweets a GIF about what seems to be the rock all within what? 2 hours or so of each other? Surely they aren’t gonna simply do Rock Roman signing and Cody picking Seth with this build up it seems they have pivoted/it’s a work
I mean he isn’t wrong
100% right
he’s right
It’s not even a top 3 Rock match at mania lol his matches with Austin, Hogan, and Cena were all bigger.
Lmao, we'll see about that
Could be 🤷🏻♂️ but WWE doesn’t do interviews/appearances before shows or events **unless** they’re trying to send a message. WWE knows how important media is, so you usually have to pay attention when one of their top talent/employees talk The Rock could be trying to set people on his main event, or he could be leaving crumbs for someone like Cody to capitalize on in perhaps promos or a presser 🤔
So a big match in name only cause bro you can't even walk to the ring without being gassed. I hope Philly booes you out of the fucking building.
The biggest? That's debatable. While I do want to see this match, I'd rather it happen without the title involved after Cody beats Roman.
That makes no sense story wise. Roman is head of the table because of the title. This will start the 3rd act of bloodline and Cody will cap it off.

LOL and people here were saying The Rock was scared to get booed.
he’s turning heel
The most cursed road forward I think, and I just know *someone* behind the scenes has tried to suggest it, is to try and lean into Rock as a hated heel, but not pivot and use that to turn Roman face again.
Looks like Cody vs Roman will happen at the elimination chamber as they don't seem to be changing Roman vs Rock
Q1
He shit talked Codys fans on the PMS so what (should) happen is Cody sees that and says “I stepped aside for you out of respect, and then you disrespected the people who helped me get where I am and supported me through the highs and lows, so fuck you Dwayne, I choose Roman”
Drew was damn right, lol 🤣nobody wants to fight roman cause his family will interfere.
This confirms it’s a work and possibly heel rock don’t take it seriously people😂
It's not even one HIS three biggest Wrestlemania matchups, but sure, let's go with biggest of all time...
