Obviously we gotta let it cook but could Bloodline Rock [aka THE FINAL BOSS] surpass Corporate Rock and Hollywood Rock as the GOAT Heel Maivia?

I don't think The Rock will turn on Roman during the match, now. I think that's out the window. What could happen is if Roman loses, The Rock gets pissed at Roman for "disgracing" 'The Bloodline' and turns on him then.... maybe RAW after Mania.
That's the best writing to me. I'd do it after the next ppv...rock slowly starts to throw shade for a month and somehow reigns fails in someway or even loses, and rock and solo beat his ass, injured him, giving reigns some time away he probably wants, and can comeback as a babyface for a SummerSlam build.

I got a feeling The Rock and Heyman are gonna turn on Roman, Rock stays heel till next Wrestlemania. Heel Rock is absolute money and you can tell he loves every bit of it
But Rock and Heyman turning on Roman doesn't make them remain as heels.

You can't turm Roman a face or even a tweener, that would take a long time

It works when you don't spam blood...they earned that shyt. Idk why aew does so much when random blood happens during hard hitting matches...Bronson Reed was bleeding earlier in the night...but that crimson mask hits different when it's not all the fukkin time
I mean i know everyone knows the deal at this point, but you can't be owned by the same company as the UFC, cross promote events on air....and you keep this completely kiddie friendly product with no blood ever.

If the rock beats him up and he goes away for 4 months "injured" he will get a monstrous babyface pop when he returns. #1 babyface I guarantee it. Especially if rock continues this heel work.

I think Rock vs. Cody needs to headline Summerslam. I would save Rock/Roman for next year's Mania.
I'd have roman lose to cody... rock blame Roman for shaming the bloodline....have rock throw nod style shade at roman for a month...at backlash France roman loses to Seth or Cody again, and the next raw the bloodline injure him.

Cody vs rock at SummerSlam (or in Berlin the next month)...Roman returns to a crazy pop, beats up rock and causes him to lose...start the official rock vs Roman build.

Are you suggesting Cody could "finish the story" as a heel?

I actually think it'd be a good swerve if they can pull it off.

I just don't know if Rock would commit to being on wwe programming that frequently.

But I will say this, they've let Roman fall a little bit too much in Rocks presence . This time last year the Bloodline angle was on fire and Roman was great on the mic. This final couple weeks they need to let him be the Tribal Chief rather than play 2nd fiddle

That’s where I’m leaning towards too

Rock turning on Roman along with solo and jimmy and Roman going away for a while

You do Cody vs rock, and Roman returns and interferes and cost rock the match

Then you do rock vs Roman and rock retires

Not at all

  • Cody beats Roman at mania.
  • Rock starts the :leostare: :ufdup: at raw
  • Roman challenges Cody to a rematch in France
  • Cody wins with fukkery (likely the bloodline not helping Roman when needed)
  • Rock calls out roman
  • Rock and solo beatdown Roman (usos fall back, pivot to being a babyface tag team)
  • Reigns is gone until SummerSlam
  • He comes back and runs in on Rock vs Cody for the title, Cody retains
  • Rock vs Reigns buildup for mania begins
  • Reigns vs solo in germany

I really want Dark Roman. I love the idea of the Rock beating up Roman for disgracing the bloodline. I want this to send Roman over the edge sting style but not up in the rafters or facepaint. I want him to be a boogey man to the bloodline after his return to injury, picking them off one by one till he takes the Rock out and the Rock can go back to being a part timer Destroying the bloodline. But it doesnt stop therebecause Roman is now unhinged and is hell bent on showing that he is the top dawg in wwe. He destroys everyone he doesnt get any titles bùt the end game to this is he settles into an Undertaker type role. His attire could be a tattered shield vest he wàs wearing and disheveled hair and beard to hammer the unhinged Roman (Dark Reign Roman)

Monday was a step in the right direction but so far this run has felt like a missed opportunity to me, like Rock and his team were scared that people buying into his heel character too much would hurt his brand. And I get it, if he leaned into it for 3 months he'd have some marks thinking that's really him and hating him for a while. But it would've made for better TV.

At the press conference it seemed like he was coming back to play a serious villain throwing his weight around to get what he wants, and getting booed as The Rock was a hard task but he was pulling it off. In a non smark city like Vegas too. It definitely wasn't 50/50 there.

The last month he's been doing fun heel sh1t and winking at the audience. The audience laughed along with him like a comedian roasting the audience, it's all in fun. And so he basically turned face again.

That was always what made sense, them butting heads after Roman loses the belt. Rock turning on Roman to help Cody was always going to be stupid as fukk
