wasnt it announced 2 days ago? that's what they said on t he broadcast
It's not like they just booked the arena and built a set in 3 days... And hell if they did then they stumbled upon a brilliant marketing tool.

This event (the press event/pep rally/whatever) was happening all along.

If Vince was in charge we'd be getting Rock Roman and fuck you if you're mad
Exactly. Hunter might not be perfect and I can criticize some things he does. It just shows you that he’s willing to listen. And hopefully this means rock is willing to listen too because I assume he’d have to OK this change as he’s his boss.

It was said the arena was booked just days after Rock was put on the TKO board I think it was, so like a month ago roughly.

I don't think he wanted to damage his image without an angle to be heel and I think WWE quickly realized they not only needed to pivot but they could lean into it for an angle and to take away distraction from the bad press

they also took no questions it seems. unless thats happening later. cowards!

They didn't want some hotshot journalist asking, "So Paul, did you finally read the lawsuit?"

Being one member of the board doesn't really give Dwayne THAT much power

at the end of the day the important thing is the passionate fans are happy again and will enjoy their mania.
Only way I'll stay happy, if Cody wins, and Bayley wins. Other than that, as of right now the rest of the matches can go anyway they want. Just give me them two wins, that isn't much to ask.

A little fantasy booking:

WM40 - Roman defeats Rock Night 1, Cody beats Roman Night 2

Then the Rock can turn heel and we can get Hollywood Rock in all its glory. Cody vs Rock at some point.

Instead we have this weird feud between Rock and Cody stans and one of them is going to be upset no matter what

Providing none change before then, every single title needs to change hands at Mania. Kabuki Warriors maybe the only exception.
