Seth will be busy with Punk

And Gunther I’d guess will be with Jey

I don’t see the brother brother match happening
I figured they were setting up Seth and Hunther at Mania but mb I didn't read the raw recap well enough and reading into things.

I thought they were gonna fuck on us and do Punk Cody at Mania since Rocky is gonna win the rumble

You're not wrong it's available, I think they've just done a good job setting up backup plans so far with a few guys and this is one. Basically for injuries or Rock, they have pivots already that can feel natural

That would suck if they did the split and the Uce match still doesn’t happen. :pour

Not really
They don’t need to have a match
Jey moved brands to get away from the conflict and wants to get gold on his own. He’s main event Jey and a match at mania vs Midcard Jimmy is kinda meh to me

I’d be shocked if it’s still not Punk/Seth.

Okada/Nakamura would be easy. And I don’t really see a line for Nakamura at Mania right now. Don’t think there’s anything Iocked in for him atm

Before I realized you meant Gunther I was like I know he knows trips can’t wrestle anymore

it's smart, for sure. They do say that the backup should be better than the original plan, ideally. Smart if they aren't 100% on injuries and availabilities, like you said the pivots will look natural and less jarring.

Especially when Jimmy would probably go over

I meant for them. They are the ones that pushed for the split because they really wanted a match with each other.

I’m sure one day they will but I think Jey would rather be the guy to take the ic title off Gunther

Yeah, Jey and Gunther should bang and what a way to finally crown him after YEARS of being the one.

It’ll be a top pop of the night a moment for Mania history. Like when Brock pinned Taker. You’ll never forget it.
