Yes, which is why they want the other title on Rhodes To keep the fans happy.

The WHC is useless was created so they don’t have to take the belts off Roman no one cares about that title as Roman said “It’s the loser bracket title”

Yeah I reckon it will be this.

And As I said, Jey Uso sides with the Rock.

That is also another way of taking heat off the Rock, as Jey Uso is just as over as Rhodes.

If they make it for head of the table that will be great because that’s what the match was originally planned

Problem is both a part timers and Rock is 51 after Mania we wont see Rock or Roman for months.

WWE need to back in their younger talent more. No more trying to bring back Austin,Goldberg,Brock,Rock etc

There’s only a few years left before this will start happening.

The Rock, Cena & Punk (perhaps Edge) are the last ones left of the old era.

Then we’ll start seeing Reigns coming back just for Wrestlemania…. And people will be flipping out about that too.

Mick Foley is apparently open to one last match.

Dear god, don’t do it Mick! I’ve never watched a match hoping that someone doesn’t have a heart attack…… but that would be one.

Maybe he’s pushing for Rock’n Sock vs the Bloodline! :laughing:

There was rumours last year that Hogan was thinking of having one last match too.

Don’t do it Mick you were there when Flair had one last match. That match was horrible and all I thought was can some one please stop it Ric could have died in the ring.

Watching OVW last week, Mick looked like he was going break a hip just getting into the ring.

He couldn’t even walk.

These guys need to let it go seriously your not 30 anymore

Meanwhile, much more chaos:

  • Rossy Ogawa, the Stardom booker and joint founder, got sacked. There’s a good chance a stack of their wrestlers will follow him to a new company.
  • I was going to say the TNA booker got sacked, but now I realise I don’t even know who “the” TNA booker is. Lots of corporate gobbledegook about TNA having better synergies with owner Anthem by replacing Scott D’Amore with someone from head office (and who will presumably continue with their non-TNA duties, and not be the booker). Again, lots of wrestlers not happy with that change.
  • Confirmation of the obvious via Lauranitis: WWE knew Ashley was raped at their Kuwait show, which arguably contributed to her eventual suicide. Vince’s ongoing harassment of her wouldn’t have helped, either.

OK, consider Moné/Banks locked in:

Capacity of TD Garden is ~20K. Like Punk, it seems they’re going to sell a show via Worst-Kept-Secret and no announcement.

Just in case no one saw the dollar signs in the show and city names below (I wonder what her home town is…), they literally put MM up there in lights.



EDIT: Okada also makes money rain down, soooooo…

EDIT 2: Slex is likely to become MCW World Champ again on Saturday night, and I think we’ve done the absent champ thing too much the past year, so NO SLEX FOR YOU.

(Slex only got in a handful of matches for ROH pre-pandemic; Brooks and KellyAnne, signed by ROH at the same time, failed to get there in time.)

This is not a press conference. They’re even calling it the WM Kick-Off Show. Entirely controlled environment (apart from the fans).

BORING.

(and arguably burning promos they need to fill the next couple months)

the rock is going full heel, and I love it

Looks like it’s going to be Rock & Reigns vs Rhodes and Rollins at Elimination chamber.

Edit: actually, scrap that. I think it will be at Wrestlemania. HHH litterally gave away the point that the first main event at Wrestlemania was a tag team match.

Absolute gold

Thank goodness Punk was there to add some energy and speak some truth (and perhaps lean into why he gets into trouble).

He even said “professional wrestling”. That’s a fine.

I think it will end with The Rock turning on Reigns…… and ending the bloodline.

And it was all part of the plan between the Rock and Rhodes

I can’t see The Rock going out as a heel.

I hope this isn’t the case.

Absolutely pointless having a tag team match between Reigns vs Rhodes. And then they meet again the next night.

Rhodes needs to beat Reigns at Maddison Square Garden and win the title. That’s the only place it should happen.
