Dave Meltzer reports that Rollins was only informed of plans when The Rock segment was on

[Jmare007]

Wait, that dude was Sika !?!?

One moment from that match that I remember vividly was when Roman was getting his ass manhandled, and some dude in a Hawaian shirt stood up and shouted "FIGHT BACK!! !" or something along those lines.

I was like look at that grown ass mark

No offense Sika

Ironic because it was probably segments with Roman's family (Dwayne) that ultimately led to Vince changing the script.

He was probably torn to begin with ("I dont know Paul, the blue contacts help but we both know Roman is not exactly OUR kind of champion :vince: )

Then when they sent Rock out there at the end of the Rumble and they still got boo'd out of the building, Vince was probably backstage like

Then while Rock was out there running down the McMahons and going on about how the WWE doesnt own him, Cokeboy was watching like

until he finally made the call.

"Change the finish, Seth is cashing in"

"An hour before the main event?"

"I SAID PUT THE BELT ON ROLLINS, GODDAMMIT"

I can literally imagine ALLL that going down..

Honestly I think the ending was already penned in and they didn't want the info to leak out. Which is probably why only a few people knew about it till the last hour.

But still I would like to know Seth's reaction when the news broke to him. He was probably chilling with the boys in the back watching the show on the monitors and shyt and then got called into the office with the news and went:

Sika is front row in the aqua Hawaiian shirt and white cotton hair. To the right is some woman in an orange shirt and black leather jacket holding Roman's daughter, who's wearing a Niners jersey.

typical traditional samoan behavior

So pretty much they waited until the last minute to change there plans to the match. I thought something like this would of been planned out ahead of time. So they got cold feet on roman and said fukk it.

The funny part to me is that "they maintained the structure of the original match", so it looks like this match really was about to be a Super Cena match through and through

Sounds like Meltzer was worked if anything....

 

[prophecypro]

You know Seth had to be like when Vince told him about the title change. Seth came in thinking he was gonna be in the second match then hit the clubs afterwards.... now he's standing tall with the title and winner of the main event immediately flying to the Today show. I bet Seth couldn't imagine he could architect that

I'd like to think this meant that Seth thought he could hit the clubs at 4pm in the afternoon west coast time

 

[GunRanger]

The Rock was the MVP then. Carried that long ass segment more than anyone should have

This Tito from Rocket Power ass mark was heated

Same shirt.

Speaking of Roman's fam?.....his wife.

I'm not a big fan of yours Roman, but I understand the motivation.

To be fair Sika is from a time period where there was no Money In The Bank so when Seth cashed in a won the belt he was like "Who dis white boy interferring in my son's match?! Triple Threat?! He won the title?!?! Where's Vince?"

The thing is that with seth going on early and Losing clean It sets up for him to cash in anyway and the commentators and even seth have mentioned how no one cashed in at mania several times . After the punk return fiasco meltzer can't be believed
