Given he just jobbed to Gunther last week, thought had no chance. I'd still be surprised if he actually main evented Mania even if getting biggest reactions right now

He'll wrestle Gunther. Rhodes/Uso makes no sense

I don't think Jey makes it to Mania facing either Gunther or Cody in main event

He certainly deserves it with reactions he's getting but still think we'll see Rock or Cena there somehow

Saw someone mention Rock coming in at 31 and winning this

Final Boss 💪

So I told my son, the Rock is coming in at 30. Totally forgot about Logan Paul. That was a disappointment :)

Paul actually does pretty well in there. He's got tons of natural heat levels. Same for Dom, he is just killing it as a heel. Some of his commentary on these WWE clips are just gold. On Punk's Rumble last year he said "Oh WOW, a 47 year old man hurts himself after doing something he hasn't done for a decade. What a shocker!" :D

At the final 3 I told my son his man (Cena) was going to WrestleMania, even calling it would be an attitude adjustment from the apron. Nice swerve. I like Jey and am glad they are rewarding him. He's certainly one of the more over stars. Don't really think he's world champ material, but happy for him nonetheless.

I’m just a casual. Basically just watch the rumble and WM. Isn’t Cody pretty much known as the real champ? Isn’t the title Gunther has not as important?

Yes and no. Gunther really has done a good job making a basically made up title legitimate, but rhodes is the one most people think of as champion. Gunther is very, very good thought. Dude looks like a legitimate killer in the ring. He's very much a throwback in that regard.
 
Had me wondering if they would really try to get Cena to carry a main event at this age.

Do they have Jey do a title shot or do a main event with his brother thing they've teased in the past?

Yea I’ve seen him. Definitely reminds me of somebody from my youth (80s). Just saying though if you ask a causal who the champ is they are going to say Cody. Would seem cheap to me to say you’re going to the main event and then fight somebody else. But what do I know. Truly nothing about this lol but that was a fun night.

I think they'll go with Cena to attempt to break the world title record vs Cody. If not Mania, at some point this year vs champ

I'll believe it when I see it with Jey main eventing Mania this year

Pretty sure they will have Jey fight Gunther, they've been building that storyline for awhile.

I have no idea what the plans for WM are. The Rock is going to want to be involved, not sure if he comes in at some point to challenge Roman for the Head of the Table and whether that would be a main event of the first night. Would seem crappy to not have both titles be the main event of each night. I don't think they are going to give Cena the title so he breaks the tie with officially recognized titles with Flair (of course Flair claims the real number is 21).

I feel like a Cody heel turn is coming. The way he was standing over KO was them trying to sell it. A portion of the fanbase is ready to turn anyway. Maybe Cena wins MITB, Cody does a pseudo heel turn at Mania, and Cena cashes in for the win.
 
Almost no interest in Jey vs Gunther. Terrible main event if that's how it plays out.
Sure, he is over. But over shouldn't equal win. So many better options.

Looks like Roman vs Rollins. Perhaps Punk gets thrown in.

Wonder if WWE reconsidering Charlotte. Didn't get the reaction, looks like she is wearing a diaper and she is wearing a knee brace.
Not to mention Bliss had the biggest pop of the night and it wasn't really close. Love the Fiend easter eggs she had. Awesome.

Charlotte has go away heat.

Has for years. No matter how many times they try to bring her back. Face/Heel. Doesn't matter.

Just brutal to listen to.

Appears HHH and others feel she has "good" heat when, in reality, I think people have been tired of her for a while.

Both her and Sasha Banks are BRUTAL at cutting promos.

WWE did a good job hiding it with Banks. But listening to her *try* to cut a promo in A&W, you'd think she was in the 1st day of promo class. If they're that bad, just have them work in the ring where they're fine. Countless times Charlotte has gotten clearly rattled by crowds just booing her (and it's not a "Dominic" reaction....it's literally go away heat)

WWE is in a good spot with their women's division when all of Charlotte/Lynch/Banks/Bayley are now replaceable / unnoticed when they're gone

Ripley and Belair (when they get her off the tag team nonsense) surpassed the aforementioned 4 long ago. Stratton has too IMO but I'm sure that's debatable given the little time she's been there.
 
@Craig_MiamiFL I'll give you Ripley. I was at both Mae Young Classics to watch the rise of Ripley. She is the best that division has produced. If they don't fumble her like they have the majority of Joshi, Stardom, and frankly every NJPW talent, Guilia could be the biggest women's WWE star ever. She is absolutely incredible in-ring, but I know with WWE promos carry all the weight. I'd love to see her main roster call-up be with Paul Heyman doing all the talking.
 
Malakai Black, Ricky Starks, Miro now FREE AGENTS

Black & Starks are obviously going to get snatched up by WWE. Miro may as well but MEH.
If we get NXT Black entrance and theme, he will be a upper card/main eventer.

After seeing the success of Punk/Cody/Penta after leaving that toxic AEW wasteland, the only talent that'll stick in AEW is the over the hill overpaid crowd, the younger talent that's not good enough to have WWE interested, the the indyrific talent Tony Con wets himself over and overpays but doesn't draw a dime.

Great time to be a WWE fan.

Ricky Starks debuts in NXT!!!:towelwave:
 
Well the Final Boss came in tonight and brought the show to a screeching halt. He gets the initial pop, then vacillated between face and heel talking to the crowd, and then cut an extremely long and boring promo on Cody. The crowd was in stunned silence. As he walked up the ramp, he looked back to the ring as if he just had the most electrifying promo ever. Cody had no idea how to respond. The crowd did, with huge yawns. He may pick up real heat by forcing himself down our throats to headline Wrestlemania, because with anyone else Hunter would say "Crowd isn't biting" and change directions. Truly awful stuff from the Rock.

I mostly agree, and it'd kinda sad to see how WWE is gonna bungle what could have been a great Wrestlemania. They have so much top tier active talent right now, but Cena and Rock are gonna walk in from Hollywood and steal two of the top spots. I get that Wrestlemania was that way from the start, with freaking Mr. T in the main event of I, but I have just never liked that aspect of the WWF/WWE.

His nonstop bouncing from face/heel in a neverending rambling promo was bad

Rock wants Cody to be corporate champ. Rock turned heel to become "corporate champ" survivor series 98. I think Rock is playing role of Vince here and another worker will turn and become "his corporate champ". They've already planted the seeds and think it'll wind up being good if it is who I think it is

Was pretty bad, they are afraid to build any matches in fear of last year where the fans are in control and change the outcome. So now, they are just playing it by year and seeing how the fans react and will go from there. I hate it.
