Also, hot take: I’m fine if we never get Roman vs Rock. Would it be cool? Sure, but it’s not going to be one of those matches years from now I’m sad we never got. If it happens awesome, if not oh well.

He returned raw after Mania I believe from injury but was ready prior
I thought that was 2015

Could be wrong. He was hurt a lot around this time.

I'm sure it would have just been a basic midcard feud built around bryan defending the 18 second loss, wouldn't have been terrible tbh but def glad we got what we did instead lll

Last time Rock worked a full match, he ripped all the muscles off the bone in his upper body.

I’m cool if the match doesn’t happen.

Also kinda a sidestep but would you guys dislike Roman facing Rock one night and anyone else another night like Cody or even Sami? I keep seeing people on Twitter say thats bad and would take away from both Rock and the challengers moment but like I 100% disagree lol I don't care what night is which but Roman losing the actual titles to a hot act and still facing Rock would be amazing to me lol I would have 0 complaints
Big proponent of it, though for me I want Cody winning one belt on one night and Rock winning the other night but not the belt. Guess they will just have to have Cody win both belts and be stripped of one pretty soon after.

Uso's losing the tag titles, Roman losing his titles on night one and then losing to Rock on night two is the ultimate downfall for the bloodline.

Are you talking about when he came back with the Mohawk and the beaded beard?

That's what I was thinking of yeah, might have had the year wrong tho

I just look at things from a storyline prospective. The only match that makes sense to cap off Roman’s Head of the Table persona is The Rock since Rock is one of the biggest stars of all time. It makes sense he’d finally come back to put his cousin in his place.

He’s been gaslighting the fuck out of Sami lately, so tbh him finally seeing through Roman’s bullshit and dethroning him would absolutely make sense.

I really just don’t take Sami seriously beating Roman lmao. Sami is a nerd.

It’s wrestling man. Hell Logan Paul came close to beating Roman :bosque so I mean. I would believe Sami over someone who’s not had a proper match in YEARS. Surely with the run he’s on. Some part time guy who doesn’t need the rub beating Roman would be bad booking imo. Rock doesn’t need it, he won’t benefit from it.
