WrestleMania XL Kickoff Press Conference Discussion Thread

Also Rock slapped the fire out of Cody and I popped for it

The only possible redeeming factor if WWE had planned Rock vs Roman and Rhodes vs Rollins the whole time would have been that that meant that there were no plans for Punk to get a title match.

 

[Bobby Barrows]

Or it's likely once Punk's injury became apparent they quickly pivoted to this.

 

[Kross Rhodes]

The early reports all said the Punk injury lead into a creative scramble.

Whether it’s a reaction to negative fan reaction (the Cody crybabies) or not, what’s going on right now is 1000 times more interesting than just lazily rerunning last years Rumble / road to WM / WM Main Event.

I was never a fan of the idea of having Cody win the Rumble and rechallenge Roman from the second the idea was put out there. Just lazy repetitive booking. What we’re getting now is much better. I’m all in on a Hollywood Rock 2.0.

Never thought I’d say this, but I feel sorry for Seth Rollins. He should not have been out there, he looked like such a dork out there, and was just so irrelevant to everything going on. But HHH gotta shoehorn his adopted son into everything. Came across as a midcard dink wearing his wife’s clothes surrounded by Main Eventers telling a great story.

I would have been totally fine with just a straight forward Cody/Roman build but this whole thing has made the match even bigger imo and the buildup has the potential to be even crazier.

A better bleeped video too. I was wondering what Rock said at the end.​

The Rock and Roman teaming together as heels is something I never imagined possibly happening but I am all for it.

Last night they made a bad situation in to being very interesting. I don't care if this was originally planned or a pivot because this feels unpredictable. There still isn't a complete idea on how everything is going to play out yet. The Rock apparently said after this that he is still planning to wrestle. Most of all, Cody is back on track to finish his story.

My dad was sort of right lol he said rock would side with Roman.

I mean wouldn't it be something too if they decided to say fuck it the table big enough for two seats or something and rock challenged seth for gold. On n1 win title just to have Roman lose and the next night rock beats the hell out of Roman.

Roman fell in line with Rock like Jimmy and Jey would do with him before Jey dipped out.

He knows his role and shut his mouth
