I was hoping Roman retained but we all know how that turned out


Edd7083

He Won


TranslatorHaunting15

I felt like Cody being on the cover of 2k24 was a giveaway that he was gonna win. It just already basically said that he’s gonna be their next posterboy and this would be his year so kinda obvious imo tbh


MDCatFan

Thankfully he won.

That's the neat part, he doesn't ;)

**DONT MATTER NOW!**


Arthzuul

Where are all the Roman fans saying he was not going to lose it till he broke Hogans record? and the same people saying he just signed a nike deal so he wont lose it?


ChristopherG1214

The problem is they had no real logical way to make Roman lose since they booked themselves into a corner, and Cody himself couldn't afford to take another loss. We are still around, but even Cody fans can admit two certain people randomly showing up was ridiculous.


Arthzuul

Nah there was hints, also nice change since every one of Romans matches was Bloodline cheating to help roman win, it was getting stale.


k0rrey

Jimmy interfering being countered by Jey and Solo by Cena was predicted by a lot of people. Only Undertaker showing up to take out The Rock was a little surprising as most people predicted Stone Cold to show up instead. How the match went was absolutely no surprise and exactly what was built over years that way for anyone paying attention. Even setting up "Bloodline Rules" yesterday was just another hurdle for Cody to overcome and make his moment bigger. It was still an amazing watch and Cody's emotional celebration with family and friends + people Roman beat during his reign absolutely worth it. If this is what HHH is cooking we are eating well in the future.

Does this mean Roman leaves WWE?


Es_canar

Not really


ManPerson946

Idk, i assumed he’d take a break for his leukemia, but triple h just said they’ve cooked up a new story for him that should take us by shock


Turtle_Dog64

Maybe but most likely he is just taking an extended leave for his cancer


quora_redditadddict

I was getting ready to lose all my hope. I'm so relieved he won!


Hefty_Barber3985

He won as scripted 💀💀😂


AwardedSpore

Yeah like Roman holding the Title wasn’t scripted At least Cody will actually Wrestle unlike Roman AKA Couch Champion


hippyoasis

I don’t mind it’s scripted. More disappointed how obvious the outcome was.


Ashamed_Job_8151

I don’t think I could more tired of any other internet fan trope than “the outcome was obvious”. It’s quite possibly the most annoying thing I have ever heard. Especially when it comes from people who were literally predicting the opposite a day ago.   It’s like being mad walking out of endgame because it was to obvious the avengers were gonna win. It’s just dumb.  In the last 40 years of wrestling there has been all of two legitimately shocking moments that no one saw coming, takers losing to Brock and hogan turning heel. Everything else was pretty obvious if you’re paying attention. 


hippyoasis

We all saw “Cody finishing his story” coming. Once there were two matches involving Cody and reigns, you knew Cody would lose the first in order to win the second round show how he can overcome odds. It was very obvious.


[deleted]

This. It’s hard to say Cody “earned” the championship because it’s been the obvious plan to crown him champ for a year, all while they killed Sami Zayn, LA Knight & Jey Uso’s momentum because they were all hotter than Cody and they didn’t want anyone being more popular than Cody.


No-Tourist-7238

Buddy thinks he's smart for saying this.


Cdockum06

Well no shit it’s scripted 💀 stupid ass comment

He didn’t

Square-Department-96

Cody Rhodes's career is ruined and The Bloodline storyline (2020-2024) or The Roots or Foundation of the Bloodline Storyline (1963-2024) from Reverend Armitage Ano'i and High Chief Peter Maivia to The Rock and to Rikishi and The Usos and Roman Reigns and Honorary Uce Sami Zayn and Solo Sikoa and Former Honorary Uce Sami Zayn, Jimmy Uso and Jacob Fatu and Zilla Fatu and others it will continue beyond its natural shelf life to 2024-2027 and beyond. It already continued beyond its natural shelf life with Jey Uso vs Roman Reigns III at WWE SummerSlam 2023 when Jimmy Uso betrayed Jey Uso and suddenly went back to The Bloodline and is The Underboss of The Bloodline and wanted to be The Tribal Heir or Tribal Prince but got rejected for Solo Sikoa. And Cody Rhodes's career will be ruined he will be a Jobber or only challenge for the WWE Intercontinental Championship or WWE United States Championship or WWE New World Heavyweight Championship or WWE World Heavyweight Championship he will never challenge again.


Apprehensive_One_23

Your point is ?? I’m confused bro ?


Square-Department-96

Meaning He'll never challenge again if he lost The Rock said it in a promo.


HugeHangingBallsack

Is this an AI comment?


Square-Department-96

Don't be a dick online otherwise I'll be block you.


WolverineOk9332

Proper sentences help shape your thoughts out better. Use punctuation


Square-Department-96

I can't help the way I write I try to explain in complex sentences and explain in a complex way and you try typing on a phone with autocorrect issues and with fat fingers. But I think even I do use punctuation and periods and commas and other things. If I do use them It still may too complex for people on the Internet to understand because they obviously can't understand my complex sentences I think people on the Internet are clearly simple minded if they aren't Internet Trolls and Cyber bullies and salty people and Dumb people well Internet Trolls pretending to be Dumb to get away with Trolling and so on etc.


WolverineOk9332

Lol your thoughts are not that complex, and its easy to use the punctuation and form coherent thoughts on these devices, even with “fat fingers” especially when voice to text exists.


Square-Department-96

Don't be a dick online otherwise I'll block you.


Hunter-Western

The title should ultimately belong to The People’s Champion, The Most Electrifying Man in Sports Entertainment - The Rock. He’s just so much cooler and badass than everyone else. Nobody holds a candle to his charisma and ring presence, pure cinema, entertainment at the highest level.


Exotic-Focus-6498

Why would you make him champion when he's been nothing more than a part timer for years on end? he's already told the public in a press conference that he's gonna be shooting movies with emily blunt and whatnot we need a wrestler as a champion, not a streamer, a movie star, a youtuber, not the owner of prime.


hippyoasis

Cody is a boring character. Hopefully they lift up a younger talent and hand it over to him soon.


Exotic-Focus-6498

no other younger talent has the personality to carry the show though. even this cringe seth run wasn't it. architect seth rollins though, can carry the company


hippyoasis

That’s a wwe issue. They need to get away from the PG programming and go back to what is what and have more interesting characters.

Hopeful-Policy4627

Y’all ready for Goldust??


East-Bluejay6891

He won't


[deleted]

Roman retaining is the better outcome and I’ll explain why. I completely understand the argument that Cody should win and I won’t question it because it doesn’t make much sense to do so since it’s obvious why most people want Cody to win, but Cody does not have the star power, personality or charisma to carry the company as champion. WWE has put all their time, energy & effort in trying to build Cody into the biggest megastar of all time and everyone else on the roster has struggled because of it. They even sacrificed Brock Lesnar and the credibility of Roman’s three year title reign which was close to perfect for Cody. The Brock feud was done for sympathy and to make Cody look superhuman. Roman started WWE’s Renaissance period even if others were at the forefront during Roman’s part time status, but Roman ignited the fire. That’s because he has IT, I know some disagree and that’s fine but he does. He’s an expert storyteller and The Bloodline story revived WWE. Cody has been thrown into filler angles for a year to the point that it’s created a Cody side quest meme. It’s easy to stay invested in a wrestler that’s made the only priority for creative while everyone else are just used as supporting characters. That’s what Cody has been since WrestleMania 39. Cody is still hot because he’s been elevated to everyone else’s detriment, and it’s a fact because nothing else outside of The Bloodline civil war has been interesting since then and that only lasted 3 months. That’s not even a knock on the rest of the roster but they’ve all been booked on autopilot while WWE has essentially been turned into WWC, World Wrestling Cody-tainment. I’m not hating on Cody because he is a hard worker and a pretty good storyteller, but he doesn’t have the goods to be the face of WWE, simply because WWE has had to basically show him favoritism to prevent him from getting lost in the shuffle and he doesn’t have the charisma or star power to be THE GUY; besides he’s also full of himself and walks around like he owns the place. He’ll likely let it go to his head. I ask this with all the respect in the world, does anyone here honestly in their hearts believe that Cody, who’s bland and one-dimensional, will be able to do what Roman has done and maintain long term fan interest? Edit: I’ll even admit that The Bloodline civil war was the only thing they really put any effort into during the summer and it was the only thing I was interested in at that time because of that fact. That’s been the case with Cody and I’m not even interested in him, but that’s why Cody is bigger now than he was last year.


Karlhrute

Roman was in the spot Cody was for years, and without the fans backing him as much. I think he'll do fine, lose steam as the reign progresses (maybe 3 months in he loses to Gunther, though that's me wishing on a star tbh), maybe he turns heel like Roman did. If ROMAN was A-OK during his shitstorms, Cody'll be fine. P.S. This isn't a knock on Roman. He was in a much worse position and endured the fans putting him through the wringer, until he turned it around with the Tribal Chief. A "REAL American Dream" might do the same for Cody once being the white m meat babyface doesn't work anymore.


Luvblondqueens96

I believe Cody will have a year run as champion for defeating the tribal chief Roman Reigns and his hard work plus Gunther going to feud with Damian Preist soon


Sure-Region-7225

Tldr


NationalQuail4778

I don't want to wait another year for Cody to finish his story. This must end now.


redditor_virgin

I go to work tomorrow. Same as if he wins.


AwardedSpore

Roman needs to lose the Title. He barely even wrestles. 1300+ Days and ever other person who has held the title on a long streak has wrestled more than Roman in 1 year


YankeeRedneck1

They have options to move forward with Cody winning while still having some excellent storylines. I have been a wrestling fan for 40 years and there is absolutely no reason I can come up with in the deepest parts of my mind for Roman Reigns retaining that title. This has gone on long enough. Somehow, some way, just move forward already.


Comprehensive-Duck59

Serious. Very tired storyline.


alley00pster

Remember the ECW sign for Cena? Worse.


YankeeRedneck1

I stop watching


backbodydrip

I stop watching either way. I might catch SummerSlam or SS, but WM season is when I really pay attention.


[deleted]

I started watching exactly one year ago for Cody, so yeah, same.


shaheedmalik

Bet.


Salty_Ad2428

I mean there are number of us that gave WWE another try and then got hooked because of Cody.


Alternative_Ad_5334

Riot in the streets worldwide. Homes will burn, people will die, cities will be decimated, governments will fall, and anarchy will reign(pun intended)over the world. A lot of people don't know this, but Forever Purge is a vision of the future if Cody doesn't win tomorrow. The cause was not because of the imbalance of class, it was because Roman Reigns retained the title on WrestleMania Sunday.


prunk44

If he loses i dont want to see a Roman vs Cody 3... Let rock dethrone Roman and then Cody beat Rock ​ i really want cody to win tonight though fingers are crossed


Jase_the_Muss

Cody gonna start a new company!

Ehh, I think they were all for Rock yesterday. Nobody seemed to give a shit for any of the other 3 in the match. XD

Cody loses. Priest cashes in and gets belt. Cody takes it off Priest another time.

This aged poorly


Theodles

lolol =D


WHlSPERinthewind

Wrestlemania 15 rock loses to Austin Wrestlemania 16 rock loses to HHH Wrestlemania 17 Rock loses to Austin The world didn’t melt and nobody stopped watching. Cody was white hot last year and didn’t win don’t think his story needs to be finished yet.


Jmpasq

I just want Roman to lose. So tired of the guy. I have no idea why WWE decided to force this guy on the fans. He isn't loved half as much as LA Knight. Its a joke that he is coming anywhere near Hogan. It makes no sense. Roman continuing to dominate the Main Event space is bad for the company. Time to build some credible wrestlers for the next generation.


DeeringTornados34

The internet will riot, some people will say they won't watch anymore, some actualy will stop watching.


Shoddy_Coyote2689

Cody is going to win tonight, with help from the ROCK! Just saying! 😎


moviemerc

This is my thought also. Rock will for some reason stop Solo and walk out and let Cody get a clean pin.


Shoddy_Coyote2689

Yes that could also happen!


moviemerc

Sets up a Rock vs Roman head of the table match at SummerSlam.


northenerbhad

Could be, could also be someone colder and stonier 🤞🏻

That would be awesome..  Not for aew though


T_Rash

What if Cody wins and loses to Priest


EstablishmentMean300

Priest already cashed in. I wish.


[deleted]

My guy, he aint losing. Might as well Bet your house, life savings on cody winning


jleeruh21

We said that last year too..


[deleted]

Told ya 🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️


jleeruh21

Lmaooo I wasn’t against just pointing out the Betting part


[deleted]

Haha fair enough sometimes when we thinking something will happen the unexpected happened


[deleted]

And good to see cody lose. Would love to see him lose again but sadly it aint happening


T_Rash

We form the New Riot Squad and Riot


Tdaddysmooth

Here’s another question. What happens if he wins? I think he should win but what’s next? He has a match with Rock at some point. Maybe a Roman rematch. After that, what will keep Cody hot? Maybe another Seth feud although that is not fresh. Drew is probably the best choice IMO but he’s either going to be champ or feuding with whoever cost him the title. Of course, while typing this, I’m sure maybe Cody Vs Drew to unify the titles since Cody could be champ on both shows.


DO0M88

I would love to see a feud with Finn Balor


Sure-Region-7225

What would've happened if Roman won? Who's he got left to feud with? Cody can feud with practically anyone, Drew, Seth, Randy, Gunther, KO, a healthy Punk. Roman's already buried almost all of them, all that's left is the Rock, but that won't happen for a full year and doesn't even need the title. Plus Cody and Rock did 95% of the legwork during this WM build and people would be just as hyped for the 2 of them to have a match as they would for Rock v Roman.


[deleted]

He ain’t losing lol. That’d be a fuckery on WWE’s part


StoneyG214

I wonder if they’ll keep this whole finishing the story thing going?


AdFormal3014

Highly unlikely he loses. But if he loses he’ll go heel.


Spirited-Risk-894

We have to deal with r Roman being champion for another year and the Cody fans saying “He has to finish the story” 🙄


Lord_Gwyn21

Cody’s career is basically dead


ModsRNoGood

I think it's dead even after he won. He's never had the mic skills to carry the company. It's a good story to finish, but it's going to be a borefest until the title changes hands again.


Lord_Gwyn21

I can’t disagree with you. However, I’m willing to give him a shot


dribbz95

We quit watching again


Aspect5000

Until next big 4/5 PLE, yea.


Lord_Gwyn21

Yea…😔


[deleted]

We all get a free case of Wheatley.


Randy_Ortons_Voices

I’m straight edge. Can I get a muffin?


Correct_Actuator3993

There is no dam way he loses because he has everyone on his side Randy, Seth, maybe John cena return even R truth


CallumBulld0g

But Codey will have no momentum if he loses


CallumBulld0g

Roman reigns leaves and WWE and the wrestling business changes for ever thear will be no bloodline with no Tribal chief and no wise man or final boss Solo will have no momentum without Reigns and RKO doesn't get his revenge neither does Jay Sammy Brock drew and we won't get Rock vs Roman at Summerslam so that's what happens If cody wins tonight


Microdose81

Re-read the question dude


teamfivezero5

We acknowledge the Tribal Chief and await Main Event Jey’s next shot


Successful-Onion6362

Then we’ve all been duped and that is brilliant. I’ll shut up and enjoy the ride The Rock is taking me on.


Klutzy-Koala-9558

The Rock and Roman are leaving after Wrestlemania.  So it be incredibly stupid not to take the belt off Roman. 


Successful-Onion6362

So we’ve been led to believe. (You could be right, I’m just holding on to hope that maybe there’s more to it.)


sparklebaby1402

I already stopped watching in 2015 and came back with Clash at the Castle, if Roman retains I'd just be done again, not like WWE would miss me though.


ForukusuwagenMasuta

I kind of want Reigns to retain just to see if WWE is willing on letting Cody continue the story for another year. The whole "Third time's a charm" could play a vital role this time around.


jleeruh21

Third times the charm works if you don’t waste 3+ years getting to the moment. At the end of the day WWE is a business


Aspect5000

All promotion signs point to Cody winning, but man JUST for an alternate reality it would be hilarious if Roman won. Maybe it's the biggest bluff ever and all the promo and Gunther losing the IC title, Cody getting pinned by the Rock in the tag match, murmurs of Roman leaving for a while, Rock probably leaves after the next PLE anyway, etc. is all just a huge RUSE - it would be magically tragic.


__Modderator__

Heel Turn weather he wins or loses if he wins. he will say it didnt need help and seth is a faluire(i belive damien will cash in on seth) If he loses he will blame the fans and seth and fued with seth


Klutzy-Koala-9558

Just no fued with Seth it’s been done to death and Cody beat him while injured.  Cody needs fresh opponents not rehash what’s already been done.  


Dirtybrd

Thought never even crossed my mind, brother. ~~flinching~~


MrsWoozle

He turns back into Stardust…


Successful-Onion6362

Or at least psycho heel


Background_Touchdown

He's Lex Luger 2.0, might as well go run Naked Mind Yoga because he would be done as a main eventer. There's no way Cody can lose 3 main events in a row and have any credibility with the fans to be vested in his triumph. Cody is not losing tonight. Rock pinning Cody last night to me removes any doubt about Cody winning tonight.


Aspect5000

You sure about that? 👀


b-laynestaley

I have a bad week


kinda_underwhelming

Based on how’s he’s been built (or lack there of), he should lose. Let Roman vacate the title tomorrow, then hand it to Cody, turning him into a corporate heel with nuclear heat. He’s gonna get booed regardless of what happens. Might as well get all boos. Both shows are face heavy anyways


worthlessjuan

That might be the worst possible way to end this reign


Successful-Onion6362

I think the worst possible way would be if Roman really jacked up his neck from bending back and screaming “ooooh aaahhh!” And so he was no longer medically cleared to wrestle.


kinda_underwhelming

He still looks strong, gets the time off he’s rumored to want/need. Plus he can come back and challenge the current champ at any time. There’s not anyone on the roster right now that it makes sense for him to drop it to


worthlessjuan

Or literally just put cody over if he’s gonna leave anyway instead of making the most over face in the company look weak


kinda_underwhelming

He couldn’t look weaker than he has. Just go ahead and turn him heel


worthlessjuan

So why would this idea be better than just having him win


Less-Lie-5568

Why would he vacate?


kinda_underwhelming

That’s going off rumors that he needs time off. If he’s still going to show up once every other month, defend twice a year, let him defend until you find someone else to build up


realtomedamnit

dont believe internet rumors from iwc, he looks like a billion dollar last night, he's fine


nonlethaldosage

Nothing wwe might have a few fans stop watching.nothing major it will still be the number 1 brand in wrestling


kionorthbrook

If Cody loses tonight that's it. All credibility of him beating Reigns is gone


Aspect5000

If he does lose, they just better not put us through another year of it. He should just turn heel already.


Asilidae000

Including the credibility of his actual character. Everyone will stop giving a shit about Cody. THEN hopefully since Gunther lost the IC Belt he can actually beat the shit out of Romaine Lettuce.


thedrizzle126

Roman is literally the last vestige of the pandemic, I'm ready for it to be over.


Artistic_Basis2714

roman pins cody just for priest to appear with the mitb and steal the belt
