NFT: WrestleMania weekend

eli4life : 4/1/2023 11:59 am
For those interested night 1 kicks off tonight with Cena/Theory with the main event most likely being USO’s/Owens & zayne.

Also at 1 NXT stand and deliver I’m guessing Bron Breakker drops the belt to Hayes and gets called up. Both are ready and future big time superstars but I think they give him a run as the guy first.

Think so and apparently the ref told Snoop what to do. She should get a raise for thinking quickly

when Triple H ran it you would see this is how he books most if not all his top babyfaces. Very Rarely does he give the belt to the guy on the first try, he makes them work for it.

With Cody he probably felt it was rushed and he hasnt faced adversity yet in this storyline. Now he has and yet he still has his momentum and he still is the top babyface...




Im well aware of NXT booking. Its easier to do that because its considered a minor league. I remember Sami and KO and hell my favorite feud is Ciampa and Gargano but that lasted so long also because of injuries.

Cody might never be as hot as he is right now. I got interested again with the bloodline story all the way back to Jey fighting Roman and then Sami went on for a year and I was really into it and I feel like nothing happened other than Sami and KO getting the belts. There was no friction that I saw between the usos and roman after they lost unless I missed a segment last night. Its just back to the same ole. I dont even think Jey turning on the Bloodline makes any sense now. They had it perfectly setup and they backed off

And please god, The Rock is an all time great and I get the connection but if he is the 1 to beat Roman, barf


I agree with everytbing you said, i thought Reigns would lose and then begin the infeuding between the bloodline..

and i agree Reigns vs the Rock doesnt need the title..

Perhaps Cody goes through Solo and then works his way back to a title shot at summerslam and thats where Rock returns, Cody wins and Rock vs Reigns at mania..

We will see where it goes

Solo getting involved costing Cody makes oerfect sense storyline wise, the past few weeks they have built to that with Cody and Solo butting heads and Cody taunting him telling him hr aint ready

We wouldn’t see the infighting in the absolute minimum would be tonight. I think it’s more of little tiny clues here and there for a bit and coinciding with I think where solo goes solo (pun intended). The payoff and setup would be when it’s revealed it was the rock who sent solo. That’s when Cody wins imo

bad timing because at this time its anything but boring. They have had soms great stories in Dom/Rey and everything will the Bloodline/Sami/KO and then have some built up talent like Rhea and Bianca that carry the women and then have a classic match between Gunther/Sheamus/Drew last night. Its the perfect mixture right now although someone like me lost a little bit of interest with the ending of the Main Event. I'll give Raw a shot tonight and see whats setup

A fan-shot video of Bray Wyatt driving around L.A. last night is making the social media rounds. In it, Wyatt is asked why he wasn’t at WrestleMania. He responds, “My WrestleMania’s tomorrow, bro.”

Cody Rhodes will team with a “mystery partner” to take on Roman Reigns & Solo Sikoa, per WRKD.

That mystery partner probably won’t be either Kevin Owens or Sami Zayn, as WRKD says they’ll be defending their newly won Tag titles tonight.
Fun thing to look forward to

Don’t know how LA or wherever raw is tonight is going to be tonight but with mania being in Philly next year that raw is going to be bonkers like when it was held in MetLife. I’m thinking an old ECW event on steroids

I really hope so. This kid is going to be special it’s going to be fun watching him develop into a main roster star. He could be HHH’s first real superstar that he creates sitting in the big chair.

That’s possible as well but do they want to give him a title right away? I wouldn’t be against it but who knows what they are thinking. I didn’t realize he was on the ravens roster for a few months as an undrafted fb. He already has his dads power and uncles pre-roid agility and add 4.5 speed

Is the main reason for being a WWE fan these days is just to complain about booking? I mean, that's all I see. On here, on social media. All these scripted events and matches didn't get it right according to 40 year old wrestling fan experts.

I guess by what I see, there really aren't many compelling story lines (if any) because judging by 100% of the reactions, the writers all got it wrong and made "wrong decisions" ... because the outcome wasn't what you thought it should've been.

yet you guys still keep watching it year after year ... lol

But what’s the point of it? I thought Brock’s deal was up. This raw was a shitty raw after wrestle mania no debuts and the only return was riddle then this meaningless attack from Brock. The only thing that had anything to do with any relevant storylines was the little slights and lies to the USO’s from heyman/Roman which should eventually lead to the bloodline falling apart, and the bad bunny thing leading to backlash. It’s like they hit pause on everything because of the sale thing

I agree wasnt a great raw..

But it sets up Cody having to go through Lesnar with the plot twist of Heyman set it up tk keep the cody vs Reigns intact..

Cody needs someone to feud with before his rematch, this intertwines everything

Wasn’t great? This raw flat out sucked. If heyman set up the swerve fine. Let Cody beat him while he has any legitimacy left before he’s gone for good. Other than that the only story to move at all was Rey and bad bunny. I don’t think I’m going out on a limb here but if he wasn’t already in town for mania and promoting backlash in Puerto Rico that probably wouldn’t have gone down tonight either. It was basically 3 hours of patting themselves on the back and playing patty cake

Just have some damned purpose is what I’m saying. I don’t even care if all the results were not what I’d like or want as long as it had a reason a story to tell.
Nope we get riddle beating up miz when everyone including snoop dogg beats him up lately yippee
