[02/02] SmackDown: Road To WrestleMania... or to the Endgame?

I was rooting for Cody too.... someone needs to pelt him with another rubber chicken

Rock is 5 years older than Trish. He’s 3 years older than hogan was when he faced rock in 2002 and it’s been 11 years since his last match . Hogan was gone for 2 years less when he came back to face rock. There’s no way they’re dumb enough to do some wrestlemania 9 shyt and sabotage their top face after they sabotaged their last 2 top faces and tried their hardest to ruin Roman by making him their top face, right?

They can't be.....I just watched again and Cody HAS TO be challenging him for it at Elimination Chamber.



Nothing else makes sense.

fans in shambles rn

 

[Silkk]

yes but the rumble should have been booked differently to protect cody and rollins

I agree about Cody



Rollins just been getting shyt on left and right. They need to stop wasting everyone's time and just have Gunther fukk him up already and take that belt.

This would have been the equivalent to Bayley stepping aside so Trish Stratus could challenge Iyo right

Nah breh ya’ll exaggerating like shyt in this thread

This is big, it’s personal, they’re family, there’s been buildup for years.

Iyo vs Trish only happens if Bayley randomly decides to wake up one morning and quits (and hopefully decides to go the Mandy Rose route, but that’s another story).

Gunther needs to loose his title first

 

[#1 pick]

They were just at MSG a month ago. I don't think they will be there again soon...

Wasn't that a house show

lets hope its this otherwise this is such a huge fukkup i can see cody/rko @ mania for the title if thats the move

A whole year of a story and build up just feels wasted. It was literally one of the reasons I stayed watching WWE.

Imagine watching a Batman movie and the final showdown between Batman and Joker happens but Superman comes flying in and fights Joker instead

Or imagine waiting for the Halloween trilogy to end and instead of Michael Myers' it's some random nicca named Corey that's the killer

I hope we get the

I agree. He was gassed when he did the segment with Jinder. But he would probably be even worse the longer they wait for this match. Rock LOOKS ready to go. But once he’s in that ring I doubt the actual match will be great. But I’m sure the WWE sees it as “if you can book Rock/Reigns, then book Rock/Reigns, it supersedes anything that was in the plans”.

I think the buildup between Rock/Reigns may be better than a Cody/Reigns II buildup. Depending on how much Rock is there, and whether or not they’re going to get the family involved (Rikishi, Uso’s, maybe dude who just became a free agent, Sami Zayne for fukkery etc). I hope we at least get another memorable tribal segment. The bloodline storyline would be popping again if they did that. It’s been stale for awhile now.

Imagine Hogan vs Rock, Roman will be tasked with carrying the match like Rock had to for Hogan. It wasn't a great wrestling match but it was a great spectacle that is iconic.

Seth v Cody, 60 minute Ironman Match, Main Event of Night 1

Workhorse match for the workhorse title They already made it an hour earlier, book it Hunter

 

[reserved_one]

I don’t even think The Rock vs Roman Reigns will be a good match

The build up with be incredible and the spectacle of it will make it highly entertaining but I haven’t liked any of Roman’s recent matches. His performances been lackluster.

Ironically Wrestlemania 39 against Cody was his last good match. The title match at Elimination Chamber against Sami Zayn is Roman’s greatest match ever.

I dont know at this stage The Rock can give Roman a good match. He’s not washed health wise but he still gotta take bumps and make sure he doesn’t blow up early into the match.
