Simon Miller vs the Rock is a “loser grows hair” match

[@azenar1894]

Simon Miller needs to fight the Rock in the main event of night 1 so that Cody can finish his story

[@dinosaursnstuff4453]

I'd pay to see it.

[@saeedsaif3958]

This is a golden up idea!

[@davidsmith4927]

I'm 100% in for this.

[@aaronsebastian5156]

We do NOT need another unification match. The last one caused the current situation with Roman that they can't remove the belt off of him anymore. Also, why build the WHC just to kick it to the curb?

[@Mathiowetz]

The unification ideas make absolutely zero sense in any way. They just created it, they just buried it and have to figure out how to rebuild it, and they can’t have Cody win it cause it would just prove it’s the “losers bracket championship”

[@dragonknife68]

No, I think one world title is good, it's just part-timers should not hold championships, period, you don't see UFC fighters with titles just decide to not defend, it doesn't work that way, they need to make a clause, if they aren't on the shows, they don't get the belts, if they're good enough to draw from a few appearances a year, they don't need the belts, and the belts certainly don't need them, considering its being at the top, and if ypu aren't fighting, then you aren't proving your standing at the top.

[@StevePicone]

Personally, I'm not booing the Rock, I'm booing Dwayne Johnson. It looks like a coup is in process. He joins the board, brings in his personal creative writer, puts himself in the biggest event WWE has despite that derailing a two year story line that was concluding nicely. He is Vince and Hulk combined and with the draw that he is, Endeavor will go along with anything he says no matter how it effects the stories. It feels like they are setting up Trips to be the fall guy and they will tie him to Vince to justify their decision.

[@Bman32x]

[@johngreenan93]

If Cody is involved with the Rock and Roman at Mania then what do we do with Rollins and the other belt after Roman buried it on Smackdown and with Punk being injured? I quite like the idea of a Seth, Sami, Drew triple threat with Sami picking up the W

[@luisquinonez5587]

And then Damien Priest cashes in and wins the belt, that would give him big heat if he takes it from Sami, also, Damien has to cash in at some point and the timeframe to do so is getting really close.

[@andreamazzeo4306]

1) I don't think it was planned to go like this, but now they are surfing the wave. 2)The Rock is 100% fighting at WrestleMania unless injury 3) I think Cody is in that match as well, and he wins 4) I think the Rock is going to come back for SummerSlam after WM

[@Briandberg]

It would take a lot to convince me that this was the plan all along. The Rock is trying to rebuild his image after some big losses lately, so I can't see him knowingly making the fan base this upset right now. I think they are trying to pivot now after seeing how bad the backlash is, but in my opinion the damage is already done. Rock is getting booed in Philly almost guaranteed at this point

[@SiddharthChakravarthyS]

it is only possible to finish the story in wrestlemania, that is what the story is in the first place, they can't just plan for summerslam and say it is finished, we are not idiots

[@SouthSideGunner]

All they had to do was book cody vs roman at Mania then when sola comes out too save roman, bring the rock out too insure that Cody wins, teasing a battle of the head of the table battle that you can build an actual storyline with ect ect… everybody wins.

[@Boo_Boo-]

So predictable and boring.

[@johnlewandoski1645]

We already are, fingers pointing to HHH having knowledge of situations he shouldn't. However I hate how this makes the rumble feel. Its like making the purpose of rumble look pointless.

[@xfacta334]

Even if it was just to buy some time to get things sorted behind the sences, the Chamber is right there, have Cody win that.

[@MrMajesticMajesty]

I didn't even think about that but holy they really did have an easy story with Rock being guest ref. Roman loses and due to that you get Rock v Roman at Summerslam or Saudi

This is why you’re the man, Simon! I literally had the same exact idea about Rock being the special guest referee to help keep the Bloodline out and he never touches Roman and Cody wins! Perfect scenario 🤞🏽

[@freddieknapp9337]

why not just totally pull the curtain back? Have the rock come out and say he really thought the fans wanted him to wrestle roman. he underestimated how much they love Cody, and as the people's champion, he will give the people what they want. and step aside.

[@ryanredd4552]

That could work, but I’d really like to see the Rock lean into it and become Hollywood Rock again and then do a triple threat.

[@brynellsidney3983]

Rock vs Roman for Head of the Table night 1; Cody vs Roman for championship night 2

[@breakingdan]

This is the perfect way to do it. After Rock beats Roman, Solo, Jimmy, and any other family members will look to Rock as the tribal chief and leader. So on second night, they won’t even try to interfere in Roman vs Cody because Rock told them not to and all Roman has left is Heyman. Hell, even on night one you could do Solo and Jimmy trying to help Roman and who steps in to help his cousin Rock? Main Event Jey who makes an appearance in both nights. He should have a match on the second night and the following Raw he can boast about being the one superstar who appeared on both nights. Hence, “Main Event” Jey Uso.

[@FreeYourMindFilms]

That’s exactly how I look at it. And Cody saying not at wrestlemania could just be a lie to manipulate Roman into signing a contract, thinking he’s only fighting the rock.

[@hazelbarnstar9731]

You don’t think it would be bogus for Roman to fight Cody RIGHT AFTER he fights rock? Like storyline wise, he’s just okay and ready to go 24 hours after a WM match? Nah

[@bulletcatcher02]

I really don't want another unifed title situation. Each brand should have it's own belt to avoid the part time champ issue again. Having one belt only leads to long periods without any title being seen or faught for. Look at Smackdown right now. Both men's single titles are part time and not seen or defended often and the tag belts are on Raw more often then Smackdown so they aren't seen there as often either. If they are really trying to do a brand split then don't make one side feel lesser due to titles not being around.

[@lordshadow19]

Nah, this isn't a work, it's a shoot that they might feel forced to turn into a work due to the backlash.

[@jacobartis9853]

That whole bit really just sounds like Meltzer editorializing, its hard to buy that they'd do something so stupid just to try and make Cody into something he's not. That press conference tomorrow looks like its lining up to be an absolute shit show.

If WWE just had Reigns treat the titles separately, then Cody could have won the WWE Title at WM39. Reigns could hold onto the Universal title until the company secured a match against The Rock (board of directors or not).

[@B3Band]

And Roman would still have his full title run length because that's the belt he held first.

[@StuartBridson]

I don't think it WAS a work but it certainly is now - they've leant into it - and my gut says it's Rock versus Roman to headline night one where The Rock wins the Tribal Chief status and night two Cody beats Roman to take the WWE title with Rock (as Tribal Chief) forbidding Solo and Jimmy from interfering and - when they inevitably try to - they both get Rock Bottomed. Roman loses everything which is what Cody promised.

[@sathanenoircouer8723]

This is hilarious to watch after the press conference

[@nikwalters1029]

I think what's frustrating (besides the obvious) is that this overshadowed Bayley's story, cheapened the RR win, and took the momentum Seth had built with his belt and shoved it in a dark hole. Even if it was a work (still hoping), the way they went about it did so much collateral damage it's ridiculous.

[@alonreed740]

Wacky suggestion, but this whole situation is wacky anyways; What if Cody spends all his time rethinking his decision all the way unto Wrestlemania, and at some point? What if R'truth is selling merchandise for The Judgement Day, and accidentally sells Damien's MITB Briefcase to Cody, who then uses it during or after the Rock vs. Roman match? It's wild, but i can't think of any other logical opinion.

[@DarthAverage]

My fantasy booking would be as follows: 1. Cody def. Seth for World Championship 2. Rock def. Roman via Bloodline interference 3. Cody has to win a special stipulation match at SummerSlam to earn a "last chance" match with Roman *4. On September 13th, Roman surpasses Hulk Hogan's longest title reign* (this is why I booked this way) 5. Cody unifies the titles at Survivor Series

[@smarty1268]

Wrestlemania 20 and 30 share something in common and that’s the fact that each of them featured someone who wanted to finish their story and they did so in such a breathtakingly luminous way….that cycle should continue on at wm40 with Cody being the one who finishes his story this time.

[@TheProteanGeek]

So one rumour I have heard was that the whole thing with The Rock taking Cody's spot is actually a work. The whole We Want Cody thing being the point and trying to create a new Yes Movement essentially. Now if that's true and The Rock is sacrificing his image for Cody in that way he's playing chess while the rest of us are playing checkers and they have successfully worked us. That Rocky Sucks chant and Cole saying "what is this 1997 again" was a great line that I didn't expect.

[@B3Band]

They stumbled into a great angle, just like they stumbled into the Yes Movement by making bad decisions along the way. If they decide to go Hollywood Rock and actually pivot from this mistake, then it's a great recovery.

Rock vs Roman is obviously bigger, however..if that was the original plan then they should’ve had Drew win so he could challenge Seth. Or hell, even Damien and have him lose, then cash in? Or even better, Damien beats Seth and then Finn cashes in with Damien’s briefcase

[@luisquinonez5587]

Except that's not how the briefcase works, you can't just take it from the owner and cash it in as your own, it has to be won either by winning the ladder match or winning it if it is put on the line in a match, they even addressed this back when Miz took it from Otis and they did it twice.

[@OvernightCrew]

@@luisquinonez5587 so there is some speculation that when Damien was given the Senior money in the bank briefcase that JD may have taken the contract out. Idk if it’s a thing but that would be a hell of a swerve

[@luisquinonez5587]

@@OvernightCrew They already did something like that were Miz took the case from Otis and tried to use it as his own, because he didn't win it it wasn't allowed, he had to then formally win it from Otis in a match where the briefcase was on the line. After Miz won it and now it was his, there was one cash in attempt where it was Morrison who cashed it in in Miz's name, which ended in a failed attempt but, because the briefcase was now Miz's, the failed attempt was overruled and the briefcase was given back to the Miz because Morrison wasn't the owner.

[@KyleSwindall]

Tribal Combat, no championship on the line, just "Head of the Table"/ Tribal Chief title and control of the Bloodline: Some details keep getting lost in all the rage about what looks like a swerve from the long-term "finish the story"- The Rock has not said out loud he wants the championship- he didn't even glance at the belt, just glared into Roman's eyes. He did ask fans if he should "sit at the head of the table". Foreshadowing. Cody said he wanted to see Roman lose "everything" and then he would come for the belt. They've done tribal combat for head of the table with Jey- but he was basically an outcast from the bloodline then. Shown when his own brother superkicked him. Recently, Cody asked fans to "be patient"- which could be an implication he knows whats coming, and believes fans will find it worth it.

If they go Rock V Roman the only scenario where this works is this : ......Rock actually wins the match and title, but does not disband the Bloodline, turns heel, annouces that he's the new Head of the Table and he tricked Cody into giving him the match because the WWE title belongs in the family and he will never let anyone else have it,.. especially a Rhodes.

I'd like to see a deunification match, where if Roman loses to The World Heavy Weight champion, so that title just goes back to the wwe championship......and I'd also like to see a North American champion beat the IC champion (probably not Gunther) and the IC title defuncts to the South American championship.

[@RealBillyGarcia]

Here’s my theory of what might happen: At Wrestlemania 40, Cody beats Drew night 1. Then night 2, Reigns beats the Rock. Then Damian Priest cashes in MITB and Reigns beats Priest also. Then Cody comes out and says he never gave up his Royal Rumble Wrestlemania championship opportunity and has Nick Aldis ring the bell to start a third title defense setting a Wrestlemania record. The Rock beats up the bloodline allowing Cody to beat Reigns for the title………Fans leave happy.

I don't think Cody would feel like he successfully completed his story if he's facing a pretty well beaten-down Roman Reigns

[@RealBillyGarcia]

@@dustinsmith8658 Of course there are going to be many rematches. That would justify those.

The thing I hate with the unification idea is that Roman already has unified belts so they'd be coming 3 belts into 1.

[@coolnoah2744]

During the press conference The Rock will act heelish with "this is all about business" and then Cody will accuse the rock of being the ultimate Hollywood champ. The Rock will say it's not about the belt, it's about the people, and it will be Cody Vs. Rock at Wrestlemania 40. Roman will gladly accept a squash match with Dominic with Priest at ringside night one. Priest will get a clear shot to cash in for the belt but will not cash in because he wants the heavyweight belt instead. This will infuriate Roman believing that the HW belt was made to demish his own belt. He will demand a reunification match at SummerSlam

Who knows how this all turns out and of course everybody wanted Cody to finish the story, but there was a way in which it all seemed TOO inevitable. I’m telling you, if it all went to script, Cody winning at Mania would have felt good, but it wouldn’t have felt great. These shenanigans if it somehow leads to Cody winning the title at WM will make it feel unexpected which is gonna make it feel so much more fulfilling. At least in my opinion.

Why Simon isn't at least on air commentary on WWE I'll never know

[@pravy555]

Simon "Johnny Sins" Miller vs Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson at WrestleMania 40.. Book it

[@khesipresents1885]

Simon "the astraunaut,personal trainer,police officer, doctor firefighter known as Johnny sins " Miller

[@umakegoodcookies]

Rock v. Roman night 1... Roman wins... many many shenanigans from the table he heads. Big announcement afterwards that the pre-planned main event night 2 is going to be overriden and now it is... Cody v. Roman night 2... Cody wins... the family is banned from the building And that's how HHH appears on night 1.

[@melaniel.duncan4891]

No… not everyone loves the Rock and wants to see him wrestle Roman or anyone else.

[@Orericanfamilia]

Another video that’s playing right into WWE. Talking about Cody more than the allegations.

[@Estebanbermu98]

But like… why another title unification? It just doesn’t make sense. It leaves one brand without a major title to fight for, less superstars to showcase, and less compelling stories. Plus they will probably bring a new major title again in the future to endlessly repeat the cycle

[@devingoodson7213]

Cody won't have a WrestleMania moment but maybe a SummerSlam moment. It's almost just as good because we know Rock is putting Roman over.
