All they accomplished was turning Rock heel, which could’ve happened without Cody giving up his match

I think they wanted Rock vs Roman and Cody vs Seth but the crowd reaction forced them to change plans

they could have done it on the smackdown they made cody look like a cuck was more the point. I also don't particularly care about business pov, most of us know they do things for money - that doesnt affect me as a viewer, i want things that make sense and i wouldnt have needed to waste an 1h+ had they done things right in the first place - and have a much bigger and louder crowd
This event was happening regardless.

And yes they bungled up the Cody/Rock/Roman stuff last Friday. No doubt about it.

But this was good shit.

This is just the start, like I said before it started I think there's plenty more twists and turns left in this.
Now that the story is canon, I am all set for this ride to enjoy these twist and turns.

The money argument is moot and the people that use it look foolish. Why do you care about how much a company makes? You’re not going to see a cent of that money they make so why do you care so much about it?

I’m about to hop on Twitter because the we want Rocky fans were trolling so hard today that they thought that the rock match was as good as concrete and they were wickedly trying to make fun of the Cody fans.

That was awesome.

I wish Seth would at least bring up the fact that he was the one guy Roman didn't actually beat during this reign (well, not counting that MSG House Show) and Seth actually beat him by DQ at the 2022 Rumble. But hey, Seth has always shown he can regain credibility on his own anyway.

I will say that it was a big lol with Becky and Rhea though. Has there ever been a more lame duck PPV coming up than this year's Elimination Chamber?

I thought this was a fun event and even though I was already going to watch Mania, they sold me back on that main event.
