Post by Controversial Maverick PUNK on Nov 9, 2022 7:48:07 GMT -5
Previous 434 day, WWE champ Punk to come back and dethrone Reigns at WM. Then do Punk vs Rhodes with Cody winning. The only other option is Rock humbling Reigns - but they can't drag this out till WM40, so if not at this year's Mania, then not at all.

I would have Rock come out at WM39 while Cody and Roman are both staggered and beaten from a slobberknocker of a fight, Rock comes down to "help" Roman, screws him and costs him the title (the one he's held the shorter amount of time) giving Cody a world title and then either SummerSlam, Crown Jewel or WM40 would be Rock/Roman without the title on the line. Obviously there's holes and issues like why wouldn't the main title be defended at WM but there's an entire year to figure that out. No reason we can't have both, Rock/Roman and Cody dethroning the Champ.
Idk how they'll do it but I hope we get a second world champ in the end and also get to continue Romans 800+ days as Champ.

Id like to see the old fashioned booking here of Cody returning from injury to win the RR and got o WM to dethrone Reigns.

Not a fan of either Cody or Rock facing Roman in main event. Cody is too appealing to smarks and smarks need to stop getting what they want. Rock's matches with Cena and Punk were okay 10 years ago but now he'll be even older. Can he even wrestle lol. Best option for me would be Rollins. He can turn face early 2023 and he can dethrone Reigns. Being his old shield buddy it is the only decision that makes sense as Rock is too old and Cody is too cringey.

I mean if The Rock wants to do it, you do it. The biggest star to ever come out of this business.

Mania isn’t that far out and no real signs of rock showing up anytime soon so maybe it won’t happen in Hollywood? Even the punk match had a much longer feud than what this would have if it’s this April. Just do Cody v Roman this year to lose the titles then have Rock match next year without titles.

Roman/Rock arguably doesn’t need the title
so have Roman lose at next WM to Cody. Would love to see a Cody/Lesnar feud, I feel that the baby face Rhodes style would do really well against a beast like Lesnar. they better allow some colour though

The guy that beats Reigns needs to be someone that has never won the main title before. If you have someone that's been there for a decade, it's a waste.

Yes but Cody is way too obvious and his AEW connections make it worse. Rollins is main event material let's not forget. A investment in Rollins again could make him number one baby-face in company. The problem I have with Cody is I think he's not that great. Other candidates include McIntyre, Owens or even Riddle. My dislike for Cody goes so far to say Matt Riddle woul better choice. RKO Bro Vs Bloodline Mania? Orton Vs Riddle Vs Reigns sounds good.

Well with that logic Matt Riddle although it would elevate Rollins to high tier main event.

The entire point of having Reigns go on a two-three year long reign is to make a new star. Whoever beats Roman clean is going to be a made man.

I think the reason Roman's reign no pun intended is so long is to help Roman.

Please no McIntyre... I respect him as a wrestler, but he's damn boring. Besides Seth, I don't really think anyone else could take the championship off of our Tribal Chief. Maybe Bron Breakker, he's pretty explosive. I want Seth to go back to his initial heel run where he held the belt. He was at his peak. Seth is just a natural heel.

Why does it have to be Cody? Other than his "do it for my family" speech, he was mid-card previously in WWE, and he wasn't champion or loved in AEW. Why do so many people want to rocket Cody to the top of WWE? I just don't get it. IMO, the only one that should beat Roman is Bronn Breakker and he is NOWHERE near ready. Guys like Edge, Seth, AJ, Bobby, Brock, Rey, etc. have had their time. They're "old". You need someone young and fresh to dethrone Roman.

Not only did Cody come back to win what his dad and even his brother couldn’t, he originally left because the company (Vince and Hunter) didn’t see him as a top guy. Didn’t see him as THE guy. Who did they pick as the guy? Roman. So he left to prove he was could be a big name. People can argue it all they want but everything Cody did after leaving the company was to get Vince to see he could be the guy. So now he’s back not only to win the belt for the Rhodes name, but to beat the hand picked guy that was part of the reason he left in the first place. I admittedly wasn’t a fan of Cody in AEW. He felt out of place to me. He feels in place since he came back. And the story is so good and organic that I can’t help but be invested.

Well to make that work for the WWE audience, when he comes back, they need to actually make that the program. You can't just have Smarts know what's going on behind the scene. I know he's already talked about his family, but they're going to have to make it THE storyline for the casuals and marks to embrace him.
