WM was damn near already sold out without Rock and they be setting attendance records in arenas damn near every Monday/Friday night without Rock. Some of y’all seem to be living in a past era where y’all think these dudes ain’t really stars when they actually are.

Rocky needs WWE more than they need him at this point.

Easy for me to repeat. Selling tickets is only one part of the equation, PPV sales, social media impressions, articles, tv spots etc are all things the Rock can.....no WILL boost are ya'll slow or just wilfully dense :snoop:

at least with cody/roman u got the vince shyt hanging over their head as a company that they gotta maneuver

now with rock/roman u got the vince shyt AND the Cody issue that they gotta work around

at this point to salvage this year i'd just do Cody/Roman at EC Cody wins the title then do Rock/Roman at WM40.

either way the ongoing title reign should be resolved by WM40 as it benefits no one anymore.

We using PPV sales as a business metric in 2024??? Like for real??

And business has ticked way up in all metrics without Hollywood Dwayne even being in the picture

The core fanbase wanted to see Cody win and have stuck with the story since the end of Wrestlemania 39. Now the rug is pulled from underneath for an undeserving part timer to have a shytty match with another past his expiration date part timer.

They are not a PPV business anymore boss, and none of those other things actually directly make them major money. Yeah he might get a few more TV spots but what does that really mean to the bottom line?

The company is doing bigger business than it ever has before. Including any era Rock was involved in. That’s an indisputable fact. Again, Rock needs this more than WWe does. He’s in image rehab since the DC fiasco. WWE meanwhile has a ton of fan goodwill built up.

I am not saying there is not a use for Rock btw. Book the match months out, for a major venue in Saudi or something, get their money for the show and sell expensive tickets on the strength of the match. That makes more sense then trying to shoehorn him last minute into a show that doesn’t need him at the expense of an already ready built match.

Seen some death threats this morning. People really in their feelings and nothing has been announced.

Watch them remix this :mjlol:


This would make it make even less sense since Cody is the one who earned the title shot while Shawn’s last title match ended in a no contest. There’s obviously no way Shawn’s signature on the contract would be valid (even though Austin told Triple H that it was later in the show right before announcing the triple threat :heh: ) but the idea of Shawn having unfinished business and having not been beaten in his last two shots at the belt gave him a lane to force his way into the match too.

I saw someone tweet the idea that Cody will go back to RAW Monday so CM Punk can talk some sense into him

I hope it’s not a triple threat
The ace steel/CM Punk segment before all out made little sense when AEW did it and it’ll make even less sense if they do it here.
