SmackDown Live Live SmackDown Discussion thread, February 2nd 2024: The Road to WrestleMania begins

Yeah that just doesn't make sense to me. In kayfabe, why wouldn't it be at WrestleMania.

I don't disagree, just going by what Cody said. He even said he was moving goal posts by saying it wasn't just winning the title but about beating Roman specifically, but didn't mention it needing to be Mania

Are they seriously not finishing the story?

It’s like WWE doesn’t want me back.

Now that’s funny as fuck

I’m wondering if it was Cody giving Rock his match, which means he doesn’t even fight Seth at Mania. Which where would that leave him at then?

I wish Hunter good luck with that, but I’m out.

Cody is on next week lol. Maybe we get more of an idea then. Kinda deflating though today.

5k plus to go watch a glorified episode of Raw

 

[BSE]

WrestleMania Night 2 has to end with Cody beating Roman and winning the world title. Anything else is a failure.

 

[Lethal]

No Gunther, no Seth, no Roman, no punk, it’s just a massive blow to the excitement factor

I’m hoping there’s a swerve like when SI predicted exactly this and then retracted it, but it’s honestly getting exhausting.

Either let Cody finish his story or tell us all to fuck off and I’ll happily fuck off.

They could have just done something like Cody saying "You're right, I want this championship at some point, but not while you're holding it, I want the title that has been defended regularly. My father was the son of a plumber, a working man, I want the working man's championship, not the Hollywood championship" and then walk off...but no, they had to make him go "I want this but I'm going to let this guy go first" like a jobber.
