They didn't announce ANYTHING tonight when that standoff with Rock and Roman. So what if.... Contract signing between Rock and Roman. Roman is cocky, signs it right away. Rock signs... then says "you didn't read the contract, did you?" Cody's music hits. Cody vs Roman at Mania, Rock is guest referee. Cody just pulled the ultimate swerve to make sure he gets a clean match at Mania. Edit: Cody then wins because of Rock not falling for the distractions , and this builds up a Roman vs Rock for Wrestlemania 41. But what I think is going to happen is Cody said he would face Roman but not at Wrestlemania , meaning he’s going to face Seth Rollins instead for the world heavyweight championship, while it’s rock vs Roman for the undisputed wwe universal championship so Roman can pass hogans record .

Let’s look at some of the many consequences with this booking: - Suppose Cody vs Rollins happen. If Cody loses to Rollins, that second Royal Rumble win would be all for nothing. And the whole “finishing the story” garbage would once again be thrown under the rubble. - if Rollins loses to Cody, then he would have lost to Cody four times in a row. Making Rollins look inferior, especially after Roman buried him in the promo - If Damian Priest cashes in and wins, then Cody’s dream is once again crushed. And we definitely know he won’t cash in on Roman, that’s obvious. - If Rock wins (which I doubt), he will just be another part-timer champion, which we are all sick of atp. - WHEN Rock loses to Roman (and he will), that means Roman will have the championship for another fucking year, making all the top carders on Smackdown feel worthless. I won’t be surprised if someone like AJ Styles leaves, just like Edge and Bryan did. WWE really backed themselves into a corner here 🤦🏾‍♂️

Tbh,this is just disappointing and sad.But to me,this is a flashback to 5 years ago. The fans wanted Ronda Rousey Vs Becky Lynch at WM one on one,only for “the one who shall not be named” to add Charlotte Flair in that build up.This left fans disappointed and it even caused that segment to be the most disliked video on the WWE YT channel. Now, it's just much worse,given the fact that Cody won the Royal Rumble,pointed out to Roman...ONLY for The Rock to take the opportunity Cody rightfully earned. Long story short, I'm not surprised that this segment on Smackdown is becoming disliked by the fans currently.

With all the injuries in mind, I kinda support this decision. An absolute fact is that more than 75% of WWE viewers are casual and only a fraction is the hardcore fan base. This decision will definitely bring more eyes and money to the company and it is the only possible year to make Rock vs Roman happen. This was evident from the fact that people chanted THIS IS AWESOME during the staredown.

[@elpeluca7780]

Bro no one outside the actual fans watches wwe. Casuals don't give a fuck lmao

Chants were piped in by wwe, right before it starts you can hear them chanting it's not awesome. Also ok they MIGHT make get more eyes on the wrestlemania main event for like 2 minutes at the cost of alienating fans that regularly watch them even more. The product is just plain boring, and if roman wins people will absolutely get sick of it. Because it's the same story, same match with different names, same way to win, same promo for 3 years already.
