That makes sense, I do think the corporate narrative never makes it to the dot com people that do those articles a lot. They seem to always just kinda wing it bc it's usually only children fans that really read them

Yeah I saw the that too.

Title was something along the lines of “The Rock steps in after Cody refuses to fight Roman Reigns at WrestleMania”

They can def find away to make the only negative of the angle being that Cody promo last Friday, or really just the one line about "I want you but not at WrestleMania" or whatever :lol
Exactly. It really could just be that one line and the rest is perfect.

Who cares if the line makes no sense in retrospect when Cody picks Roman tonight.

Rollins talked to Fox News Digital about the moment afterward.

"It’s just what happens when powerful people exert their power," Rollins said. "They just think they do whatever they want and get away with it and that sucks. It just sucks. I don’t know any other way to put it. I guess it (resulted) in Cody getting what he wanted. We’ll figure out what’s next for the World Heavyweight title. But Cody said it best. It’s bulls----. It feels pretty gross to me."

Rollins tried to convince Rhodes to challenge for his championship, pointing to Reigns’ part-time in-ring schedule and that his World Heavyweight Championship was the so-called working man’s title.

However, Rollins understood why he was going after Reigns.

"I sold Cody on this title because I believe in this title and I do think because of Roman Reigns’ lack of independence, for lack of a better term, that this title is more prestigious and means more," he said. "Especially, going forward, if Roman Reigns keeps his title, this one is only going to get bigger. But I understand where he’s coming from. I never faulted him for wanting to finish the story – it meant so much to him. I understand why he made the decision, and it is what it is and that’s his prerogative as the winner of the Royal Rumble. I don’t know why those idiots thought that was their decision to make."

Rollins took issue with The Rock coming back into the fold after being away from WWE for so long. It has been nearly eight years since The Rock actually had a match.

"Ten years or something like that. The last time he came around, I don’t like (CM) Punk but he did the same thing to Punk, kinda came in and took his main event and did it two years in a row with some very not-so-memorable matches with John Cena," he told Fox News Digital. "But yeah, now coming back, on the board of directors, like I said man, it feels like gross. I don’t like it. I feel like we gotta do something about it. Just don’t know what that next step is going to be."

Deffo took me a few seconds to read that in the way intended cause my head just went to the Vince/WWE lawsuit.

Honestly I was against it last night but the more I think about it, one of the few ways to make Seth's title not look unwanted and trash is to maybe have the Rock go for it? Thing is 0 interest in either walking out as champion and would much rather Drew wins it

Seth with a bum knee and an over the hill Rock would be a recipe for disaster I think :lol

That's the problem lmao. I think the match would fucking suck so probs best to get a good match with Drew becoming champion and he can fix the title

I wouldn’t mind a triple threat of Seth vs Drew vs Sami Zayn since Sami has the story with Drew and he wrestled Seth for the title last year, but I also wouldn’t be against it just being Drew vs Seth.
