Something tells me this is less about the Punk injury and more about the WWE trying to change headlines from the Vince allegations to Rock-Roman

[@alwaysxnever]

There have been rumblings about Rock vs Roman for years. Doesn't make me like it.

[@lordhawkeye]

Was that something Sean Ross Sapp reporting that this is exactly why right after the segment finished along with other wrestling news channels?

[@judshuttie70]

Reports are this is the plan I'd expect Thursday press conference after rock Roman is made official Cody screws Roman says now you signed to face rock I'm letting world know I was just making sure as I said Roman loses everything Roman you signed fight. Rock guess what I'm choosing you now you have to wrestle night 1 and night 2 against me either that or triple threat which I think makes less sense.

[@mightymacheezmo6262]

Punk was right.

Could’ve prevented all this drama by having Cody beat Roman at the last Wrestlemania like everybody thought but of course we got the same old bloodline interference Roman wins.How many times do we have to see that same old shit.

[@timholstad2723]

Totally agreed. Rock vs Roman next Mania (or last Mania) would have worked infinitely better. With what happened, this needed to happen this year, Cody needed to dethrone the hated heel dominant champ. WWE Needs a new star. They need a new Cena, and to be honest, Cody is as good a candidate as you’ll ever get. You put him over the champ. Listen, Roman has been a dominant champ for a long time now. But you can’t have Cody wait another year. What’s he going to do, win the Rumble 3 times?

Exactly bro this match has to happen now or it will never happen and Roman has a right to finish his story before Cody finishes his CM punk wasn't right about shit Cody took this like a champ and a professional and that's why he will still end up being the top guy when this is all over unlike punk who ran himself out the building cuz he kept crying

They probably won't. They are going to pop like everyone else pops for the rock.

[@goodfella1401]

Punk literally has done the same thing as Rock. Comes back at Survivor Series. Wrestles only two house matches, number 28 at the Rumble and then was likely given the main event at Mania with Seth. Even though a Gunther, Rhea, Becky or Bayley deserves that spot way more

[@warriorjwr]

My cousins husband was at the event and he said they were booing after Cody left. And from what I been seeing today The Rock is pushing hard to go over.

[@chevhayes]

Love you boys. Need you two on a regular basis!!!

[@jameselliott6802]

Love you guys thank you

[@debatesoncamera4305]

I was at Birmingham and the crowd was shock that Cody said that and a lot of people was confused and when the rock came we just was happy to see the rock but after the camera went off everybody who watched the dark matches went quite and a lot of people was pissed when they realized that wwe just did Cody wrong

[@joedobr9977]

I think people got Pavloved in Birmingham. If fans in the moment realized what they were seeing it could have and should have been a wake up call. Dwayne took advantage of the moment. He missed it.

[@Strangepete]

16:34 Cody should reference that pretty much word for word on Raw this Monday.

[@iskandarishak1457]

Is there any way to gv cody the briefcase before mania?

[@roar4393]

My theory is they're masterfully blending backstage and the show. I'm excited to see where they take us!

[@TheSirDenis2]

Chemistry is off the charts. I don't even watch wrestling anymore, just follow on Twitter, but I listened to this

[@rogerhorton3007]

How does Roman and Rock do live promos to promote the Wrestlemania match when neither one of them is there on a regular basis.

[@matthewbreen1951]

They'll just have Cole and Heyman do it on Fridays.

[@alwaysxnever]

9:56 exactly. 18:20 I personally see thr World Heavyweight title as the midern version of the Big Gold Belt. But ... Yeah. 20:08 it was to soften the blow for sure.

[@steveherman2718]

[@nericohen-muaythai8875]

But he was comparing it to what the rock did to him 10 Yeats ago

[@mtvta1981]

[@dharshannaidu4368]

Everyone should walk out of wrestlemania to show respect for cody and other wwe superstars. the rock already has a good career they should give others a chance

[@Mrstealyogirl91]

😂 stop crying. The bloodline was going to interfere again and Cody would lose.. trust me, I like Cody.. but he doesn’t belong on Smackdown - a 2 hour show that has so many faces already.

[@Jessica_Roth]

Not only did Philly boo Roman and Rock at RR 2015, but three years later, Philly was STILL booing Roman, at RR 2018. (And they sang "John Cena Sucks")

[@gmwarsaw]

This is their smokescreen move to get people off the Vince topic

[@williamsweeney3215]

Cody all the while is told again sorry kid just a little longer.

[@alexandersnow1963]

But that is what the Rock did though. And don’t be so sure Roman is just gonna win, there is a lot of talk of him pushing to win. Also, different scenario, yes there was a pop, but actually watch the video, some of it looked pumped in. The crowd directly in front of them wasn’t cheering like that

I don’t care what nobody says, personally I think the rock does this to superstars because there’s probably a part of him thats still jealous that he wasn’t the bigger star than Austin during their time. Besides hogan, what wrestler that was as big as Austin come back years later to take a main event spot from full time talents just because they can .. the rock has always had a bruised ego

Cody's gonna come out dejected on Raw and Punk is gonna come out and give him a big time motivational speech on some Ace Steel shit and everything will be fine OR Cody will be like "I don't want to just take your title. I want to take everything from you. I'm going to systematically take your Tribal Chief status (via Rock), I'm gonna take Heyman from you, etc and THEN when you're a broken man I'll come for my belt."

It isn’t Punk’a fault or to blame. His plans have nothing to do with others storylines. Also it isn’t more unfair to Cody than Punk. Punk never got the chance to even win a Royal Rumble, Cody has done it twice already. It was more unfair to Punk than it is to Cody.

[@fazligjonbalaj4498]

Cody said not at Wrestlemania. Never said not at Elimination Chamber. Roman going to Mania with the belt against the Rock we all know Roman is winning that match. This way him without the belt then it's open and more exciting. Also then you have Seth vs Cody for two titles and Damien Priest can cash in for one of those titles at Mania or even at Elimination Chanber but I see him going for it at Mania so he stays on Raw with that belt. He can't cash in for both belts right.

[@seanreddy985]

I love his whole comparison showing his friend the Undertaker vs Mankind Hell In A Cell. Cuz I was 12 years old in Pittsburgh watching it live with my angry dad who was mad he had to take and and just that match changed my fathers whole opinion on wrestling and would watch it with me until he got sick and passed in 2005. Which is what brought me out of watching. But AJ coming to wwe brought me back full time and I know I’m going to get hated for this but AEW is what made me go in all in watching again. No pun intended. And at the moment it just sucks cuz after smackdown this week when we thought it would be different under HHH it seems to be the same WWE sadly.

[@rileyk5228]

The crowd popped cuz the rock was there. Not cuz he's taking Cody's spot

[@alsands4611]

Carrabis is spot on. Romans streak is the best thing going and Cody v Roman was to predictable .

[@thewildcard83]

If they do it at WM 41, I will laugh if Austin v Punk happens, to overshadow Cody again, lol.

[@CynicallyObnoxious]

Mania was pretty much sold out so the saving Mania excuse is dead so is the itll sell more its just Rockster getting 30 million in stock brother

[@Biglouravens]

The rock is the heal now. He should beat Roman. Than Cody can beat rock at summerslam

[@zachmckinney3988]

First off, Punk finished that line saying "it's not Dwayne, it's me!" Second, The Rock is getting the Wrestlemania main event but where in the show did they say Cody wasn't still going to get his shot?

[@omnilisk279]

He might still get his shot but what a looot of people are pissed about is Cody won the Royal Rumble twice which has historically meant main-eventing Wrestlemania but now it looks like Cody won't even be at Mania. He won the Rumble and then pointed at the Wrestlemania sign and then at Roman. He came out and said "I dont want Seth's title. I want yours." And he has to give his spot to Dwayne. It just makes him look like an idiot, devalues the Rumble Winner, and the new Heavyweight title they're trying to push.

[@peterburns3200]

Save what we wanted Cody and roman

[@rickjustus6416]

Dude, the rock already said he wasn't coming back for just a match. He said he wanted to be able to deliver a story to the fans. I really think the Rock beats Roman

[@MarkSmith-fl4zq]

Rock vs Roman is a pointless match, we all know who's winning so why should anyone care who wins, of course the Rock is going to get a pop at a TV show taping but put them infront of a hot crowd who know what they want and its going to bomb.

[@bellereinette2938]

at this point just so everybody's happy the least you can do is have Roman do both Rock on Saturday (cuz Roman is winning the match, anyone whose thinking otherwise you lack brain cells!) & retains his Tribal Chief-dom before dropping it to Jacob Fatu whenever he comes in & Cody on Sunday & everybody goes home happy, & I'm sorry Seth deserves better than losing to Cody FOR THE FOUTH TIME!!

[@AllInTheGame01]

Gotta do everything possible to distract from Vince McMahon!!!

[@kendellwiggins6738]

The bigger question is does Roman & Heyman truly want to put Cody over? Who called the shot last yr was it Vince or HHH? Either way lets say they both agreed. With VKM out...HHH calls the shot this yr Cody going over but wait Roman & Heyman w creative control dont want to put over Cody bec that belt was staying in the family & going to Solo. Take a look all of a sudden Solo has been losing after destroying Cena. Is tht punishment from HHH bec he cant get belt off Roman? Roman knows hey I gotta do whats best for company but he wants Hogans record VKM & HHH promised him. In comes big UCE to trump HHH & take Cody decision out of his hands. Guys it truly smells like an internal fight between families. Roman has always been VKM's guy since day 1. Guy has probably only been pinned what 10x or less in 10 yrs. HHH wants his guy & truly trusts Cody. The Samoan Dynasty pulled a trump card here. Im quite sure of it!

[@ttanza4004]

I would love to see the Main Event match be "Roman Reigns vs. The Rock vs. Cody Rhodes vs. Seth Rollins" in a Fatal Fourway Match.

[@FatMenace]

You’re the only one.

[@draftmagicagain1000]

Sure. That’s what it’s building to. Let’s add in Brock and McIntyre and AJ and R Truth. Elite 8. No DQ in the Chamber. With a Ladder. Survivor Series style teams.

[@armandomendez1983]

My thoughts are it would be from this 1. This story will be WM29/WM30 over again for a road to wrestlemania. 2. The rock that was his fault and also he ruin the plans for WM40 and Cody Rhodes main event plans and the rock force himself to have a dream match or something else behind doors no one tells the truth to fans. 3. That's It be TKO fault didn't tell the rock your not a wrestler but your a business person WWE and Tirple H didn't tell or should tell the rock your not booking match's, storyline, character development, head of creation director and also down line WWE might say to The Rock you don't run the company, we run company not you the rock just relax and chill out and let's us do job. I magic they should have done right in the right way but not the rock right way not making plans. You understand what I say or not That be WWE and TKO the way The wrestling fans are still mad, angry, hurt, disappointed from this typical, I'm on with WWE fans side how they feel from two days ago.

[@MBD-BDBF]

Let me play devils advocate for a minute……1) the more adversity Cody has the sweeter the moment. Making him crawl through a river of 💩is a net positive. You dont want a month long coronation and an air of inevitability for Cody. Thats not good for a babyface. 2) what if there’s an even sweeter moment….i.e. Cody beats Seth at Wrestlemania and then unifies the title at Summer Slam?

[@MrDjillest303]

Cody will win the title at the Elimination Chamber. The rock and roman does not need a title

[@Lee-km7qq]

No one wants to see Seth/Cody 4 idk why they think that’s the move

[@Biglouravens]

Cody going to win at summerslam now

[@richardredeemed]

I say they do Cody vs Seth vs Drew triple threat to main event night 1. Now that Drew is a clear cut heel, inserting him into the match protects Seth from having to turn heel or lose to Cody again, and Drew can steal the win in cheap heel fashion. Then Priest could cash in and win in even slimier heel fashion to continue the feud between McIntyre and Priest. Nobody gets beat clean, the narrative for Cody to finish the story against Roman later this year or at WM41 is protected. Seth can get surgery on his knee. Best way I can think of getting themselves out of the corner they’ve booked themselves into.

[@djisrarmx4530]

Now day there is to much wokeness from fans trying to influence owners in stead of really getting behind thier stars. This what people dont realise, this why wrestling nowadays will never supass the attitude era, fan are to caught up in the politics cus of social media influence. woke bs. Instead of wrestler raise the level of the product to over come these huddles. If u remember why the rock buried billy gun it was cus he was frustrated by this happening to him and in return he made arguable one fo the best promos ever. Same goes for punk.

[@Hahahanoyes]

The rock’s jinder segment got 70 million views across social media, cody rhodes hasn’t hit 70 million views in practically every segment hes been on in raw/smackdown the whole year put together. Cody fans are die hard wrestling fans who will watch wrestlemania no matter what. The rock brings far more eyes to the product and thats the entire point. Making meaningful storylines is secondary to exposure.

[@chrisconnors9449]

why does everyone keep saying this??.. this is the best thing for Cody. If The Rock wins then he takes full control of the bloodline and could command the bloodline to stand down. If he then vacates the belt that would clear way for Cody to get a fair 1 on 1 against Roman. With no interferences. The issue would be if Rock decides not to vacate the belt. Or if Roman Wins and the Rock becomes a heel under the command of Roman. That may very well happen which would connect Randy Orton, AJ Styles, & LA Knight back into the storyline to backup Cody. Randy came back for specific reasons - for legendary moments. He has to be involved in this storyline some how. Might lead to Cody vs Roman & Randy vs Rock afterwards.
