How dumb do you think Tony Khan feels? He signed Mercedes Mone to that giant contract and did all those tv appearances with her and it's been a total disaster. I mean the venue was so empty during her latest entrance that she was literally laughing about it.

She was saying to herself, I can’t believe this fool is paying me all this money as she’s laughing her ass off🤣🤣🤣

[@philwalsh8975]

Shinsuke Nakamura is a bigger draw than Samoe Joe

[@mattroxursoul]

Looking for a potential Rock betrayal is just wrestling fans speculating on possibilities of the swerve. We have sort of been conditioned to expect betrayal to come in a lot of angles.

[@jesterr7133]

It's kind of similar to the Attitude Era right now in that WWE has multiple people that are peaking in popularity and doing fantastic work at the same time. Cody, Roman, Rock, Seth, Drew, and Punk are all on fire right now. They even have a really solid upper mid card right now with guys like the Usos, Sami Zayn, Kevin Owens,Randy Orton, AJ Styles, and others that are massively over and can slot into a top spot when necessary. They even have guys like Gunther and Bron Breakker that are on the way up. They haven't had that in 20 years.

[@Am0ment0fB]

To shut your mouth and know your role? Ha.

[@Golden_State_Native]

The Rock is a bigger draw than every single pro wrestler in sports entertainment today.

[@rondoughhowell6442]

well didn't Punk's promo had a better rating than the Rock's promo last Monday

[@ninthlife1745]

the one thing that The Rock has told us all is that Cody Rhodes is not the guy. People like The Rock or Roman were such stars they elevated anyone they worked with. Can Cody Rhodes do that?

Cody should be given the opportunity. Let's not forgwt how bad Roman was Before The Bloodline.

[@CheknoEternity]

Jey Uso is a bigger draw than Samoa Joe

[@CheknoEternity]

They’ll turn on Cody regardless because that’s what fans do. Sometimes it’s justified and sometimes they’re fickle. I noticed they really turn on talent if wrestlers become stagnant; never evolving to that next level. Fans are only interested in wrestlers who are willing to evolve and reinvent themselves.

[@Legendhasit-zm6zs]

the only good thing about AEW is that a lot of families of wrestlers are living that good life from all that money but really, that's about it. AEW sucks so bad that it made us all revert back to WWE.

[@jesterr7133]

I've already called it. They are going to do a double turn. It is the last thing anyone would expect. Heyman is the key. Heyman has been paired with the top guy for over a decade. Cody will do anything to get the title. How did Heyman end up with Roman? Roman couldn't beat Brock until he aligned himself with Heyman and turned heel. The same thing is going to happen with Cody. The Bloodline is going to side with Rock, and Roman is going to turn face. They will put Punk with Cody as soon as he gets back, and we will have Cody/Punk and Rock/Roman at next year's show. Roman is ready to do what The Rock did. He is over enough as a heel now to go on a massive babyface run. The fans will get behind him now, especially if he is going up against a heel Rock. That is what they are going to do. It's going to be a double turn. Cody is going to do whatever it takes to finish the story. He always has.
