WrestleMania XL Kickoff Press Conference Discussion Thread

[Smart Marx]

The rock match never needed two things. To be right now and have the title

that rock match can still happen at SummerSlam or survivor series or if they really wanna do the long game the rock always harps about next year‘s main event of wrestlemania.

 

[Comrade Khan]

if they do the rock match after roman loses they could use it to turn roman face again

 

[Butters]

Imagine if this was all a ploy by rock/cody and come wrestlemania solo/jimmy/rock are all in romans corner and the ref gets knocked down and solo/jimmy go to attack cody but rock makes the save and cody gets the win. then this sets up roman/rock for summerslam.

done and done.

this was basically overlooked(or hated) but this is how you book both matches effectively imo.

Easily. Roman loses EVERYTHING. THE TITLE, THE BLOODLINE AND THE TABLE.

Roman uses that to change his ways.

Watch him come out to the Shield theme again, people would lose their shit.

 

[Butters]

Once roman loses the titles I honestly think he's retiring. he said when he first won the titles he didn't have much time left.

The tribal chief theme being taken from him too would be the perfect punctuation to the story.

And yeah, I’d pop for the Shield theme.

He's losing me? lol.


I like the idea of a tag match. Rock hasn't wrestled a full on match in literally 11 years. Without a lot of gaga like we got with Austin I don't know if he'd be able to go. Why would we expect him to be able to pull out a singles Mania Main Event match?

 

[Jimmy King]

I still want the Rock vs Roman match but it was just bad timing to try to make it happen now.

The Rock match is definitely still happening and will happen without the belts. If he wants to retire after losing to the rock, no better way out I guess.

They’ve already confirmed Cody and Roman solo.

It’ll still happen. Rock is on the board. He can make it happen anytime after Mania.

that's why i think they've waited too long. I think the original plan was to have the rock lose and make him seem like an unbeatable force but now he's close to losing his titles and most likely being done. he wins or loses and retires its like so what.

Rock better get himself into shape, doesn't look good when he's gassed just doing a few moves to Jinder

all the more reason to push it to SS, plenty of time to get in shape.
