SmackDown Live Live SmackDown Discussion thread, March 7th 2025: Cody Rhodes returns to SmackDown after John Cena's vicious betrayal

[Shane]

Ok so US Title guys. Get hype.

 

[DameDollar]

I want to say that I really like this rendition of Nakamura's theme

 

[Chris]

Actually I've just talked myself into accepting Cena is winning with that last line I typed

 

[Shane]

yeah I agree that's why he sold out, that's a great story. The sell out shouldn't win in 2025 at the biggest show of the year to break a record that will never be broken again tho lol crazy message to send, suck Rock's dick and you get everything

Yeah. In wrestling history selling out gets you what you want.

Sometimes you gotta do what ya gotta do

Just so everyone knows I’m not convinced at all that Cena is winning at Mania lol. It’s just what I want.

 

[Ricky Smarks]

I'd rather Cena have the fake record than Flair at this point so I'm fine with him winning 17 however but when they do it my way everyone will agree it was amazing

As much as I don’t like Flair as a person in 2025, I still think his work carrying the business means something.

It’s gonna be broken eventually, but I would’ve just preferred someone else.

 

[Ricky Smarks]

do you wanna bet $20 again they’re not doing it your way?

Define what his way is because really the only thing he’s adamant about is that he doesn’t win wrestlemania.

If it’s not Cena or Randy Orton then it’ll never be broken

He had so many stipulations I don’t even fuckin know anymore

 

[Chris]

I'd bet $20 that Cena loses at Mania, I'm not committing to KOTR or anything tho lmao

Yeah this is the same for me.

I wouldn't be shocked if Cody won and would accept it. This won't be a Shane BITW moment or Toni losing the title after a short ass reign. I'll just laugh and be like okay.

Well fuck you then

 

[Chris]

I laid out a great booking timeline, I didn't say all of it had to be followed lol

 

[Grim]

Did Wade say what I thought he said?
