But he hasn’t been squashed by Roman yet, but I mean truthfully he’s not gonna sniff the world title again.
They had a champ v champ match between him, Roman, and Bobby. That don't count as squashing

I think whats happened is that they didn't expect Sammy story to get over and catch fire. So now they trying to tag Cody with Sammy to get the rub off him and its coming across as a bit of forced.

They Using Cody As The Middleman That Brings Sammy & KO Together, To Do “The Right Thing” And Take The Belts Off The Usos

That’ll Weaken The Bloodline And Cody Will Take The Belt Off Roman And Itll End The Bloodline

They’re Not Using Sami’s Momentum To Rub On Cody, They’re Showing It Takes Multiple Forces To Combine To Stop This Group From Dominating

Nah what’s happened is they’re booking cody to take down Roman and he’s getting cheered like shyt because people that paid money to be there are into him and want to see it


But there’s a small vocal minority of smart fans online that live in a bubble and desperately want their fantasy booking to become reality


But unfortunately the inevitable will happen at mania and Cody Rhodes is clearly and obviously dethroning Roman
Until he doesn't! :mjgrin:

Starting to feel like the Tribal Chief is gonna retain. At mania

USOs will lose tho.

Roman starts to shyt on them for losing and brings Solo closer up the ranks.

USO’s build resentment and then gradually the bloodline falls apart . Throughout the year .

Until Roman loses next mania to…….Seth freakin Rollins :jawalrus:

I feel like Cody needs some adversity and an L. This has to be dragged out to SummerSlam.
The only problem with that is there's a lot of time in between WM and SS. Who knows if Cody can maintain this momentum. If you wait too long, you run the risk of turning him into Luger 2.0

Sometimes you gotta strike while the iron is hot :manny:

If they think they have a shot at getting Rocky next year, I don't see the Bloodline ending.

Remember when the narrative was Vince never gave the rub to guys he didn't create so that's why WCW guys didn't want to come over but now somehow I'm supposed to believe the generic CAWdy face of AEW lisp-nerd is going to beat the ultimate WWE creation 🤣🤣 sorry y'all, this has classic Vince troll written all over. Don't worry, it will all be forgotten 2 minutes later when the Rock comes out to challenge Roman immediately after

I would love for him to not


But it’s reality. They got John Cena out there introducing him just to raise his arm in segments he ain’t even in


shyt, it wasn’t even a segment. nikka went “oh and by the way, here’s Cody Rhodes” raised his hand and pointed at him, and then… commercials. That was it.


Y’all think that’s just for kicks? They deliberately got that in for a reason. Buttons been pushed. It’s reality. Accept it, rebel. Whatever makes you happy! But It’s happening my g’s


Cody is leaving mania the universal champion

I'm not even really a fan of Cody...always thought he was a try hard cornball but this is probably the time to pull the trigger.

This situation reminds me of the debate that went on for years at Mania every year whether they should break Taker's streak. A lot of people felt that they should wait to give it a can't miss young star to turn them into a major main eventer but the reality is WWE is terrible at creating stars, especially male babyfaces. Cody makes sense in the way Brock made sense....he's already established but beating Roman levels him up and he can use that momentum for a big main event run.

They could run it back for another year with Roman but I feel like the run/Bloodline angle has peaked. I wouldn't delay him losing just so he can reach some title reign record number that no one even knows. He's the longest reigning champ in the modern era, that's all that matters.

People just don’t wanna accept the inevitable….Cody will be the champion and will become the face of the WWE. Yeah Roman is the still the bigger draw but I expect him to take a backseat as it’s well deserved for the amazing run he’s had.

Other than Sami, Brock and possibly Seth there’s no other babyfaces that are strong and Roman already beat them. Heels typically don’t get multi year reigns like that but Roman is an exception. If Cody drops the ball as champion then I’ll be the first one to point it out but right now I’ll give him time and see what he does.
I will be surprised if Cody doesn't go over since IMO it will kill his story/fan interest in him and he is selling so much.

Does anyone know if WWE often sells merchandise for guys who aren't going to go over that includes things like: certified parts of the ring mat (lol) special shirts that are wrestle mania themed that seem to be related to pushing for the title win, and just pages of any merchandise item they can possibly think of?

I rarely paid attention before and they are even selling blown up photos, card board cutouts and parts of the ring mat from the rumble?

I never followed any of this before.
