They only needed Rock to pull up at least one more time, and then I think it wouldn't have been a big of a deal if he didn't show up for Mania or not lol.

He could have at least showed up last night. It feels incomplete because it started off so flaming hot with the 3 of them.

Travis Scott glaringly doesn't work without Rock there.

 

[Rain]

He's right. It just would've ended up being a repeat of last year's WM build (even people wanting him to interfere at WM again). It's good that he removed himself. He didn't have a place in this feud.

 

[Brad Piff]

oh yes i typo'd it was cena

he did say cody heel turn coming sooner than we think.

Exact quote:

“If done right, and I think if finessed right, nuanced right, down the road I think Cody has another incredible babyface run again as champion, but also an unheard of one as a heel, down the road.”

nothing about coming sooner than we think

Travis Scott should never have been involved to begin with.

 

[King P]

Yea but because he made it about him he HAS to be there. If he didn’t want be here then he shouldn’t have done the storyline where Cena sold his soul to him. That makes people interested in why you of all the people. Cena heel turn alone would have sold tickets for mania.

I don't think The Rock wanted to be involved with Cena. I think it was Cody or bust for him.

It sounds like he showed up at Elimination Chamber because of Ari Emmanuel, who felt tickets weren't moving enough.

It’s really not about Rock tho.

Cena selling his soul is a huge deal, John Cena is still John Cena.

The Final Boss arc is an overarching long term booking that doesn’t need constant appearances from the Rock.

Cena turning heel but deferring to the Rock would minimize the intention of John turning. The whole point wasn’t even for Cena in the first place it was for Cody turning heel.

No this is on the rock no matter how big of a star you make someone like rock is always going to be bigger and if he is telling us he wants to ba sort of the story then a lot of us will always be more interested in what he is doing.

He just needs to realize if you can’t commit to a few months at a time then do involve your self in a major story. It will always disappoint no matter what

it's partly because rock has been that good with his story and character. for that match i didnt care about cody fighting to stay up, didnt care about cena's record, i just want that 10 min of rock storytelling.

it was earlier the first time he mentioned. he literally said "right down the road btw"

 

[Tanahashi Coates]

Murda Meltz was right and no one to admit it

 

[Bigwhite2498]

Him Steve Austin and Bret hate triple H lmaoo

 

[Bigwhite2498]

Fein Fein Fein

what’s the exact quote?

what’s “right down the road” if Cena gonna hold onto the title for the rest of the year lol

Cody will get another year long reign as a babyface, as Rock said, whenever he gets it back. Merch sales were up 54% from last year’s mania.

Someone already said it. He only needed to show up at maina. He could have sent in promo from his gym or something. Again if it was about cena then he didn’t need to involve himself as the higher power type. When he shows up the interest is always going to be toward him. I think people just want him to only show up when he has the time to be in a story or else he doesn’t need to be there

 

[OneDeep]

This is why you don’t center your biggest story around one man

 

[DaHNIC82]

Nikkas letting their fandom for Dwayne overcloud their logic.

So why have Cm punk cut a promo going at Rock and Cena the next night? That led the people to believe he was gonna be apart of Mania season.

He's involved with their main draws(Cena, Roman, Cody) so the public can't get a simple rhyme and reason?

If he wasn't gonna be involved then just cut a promo say


"The Rock isn't gonna be at Mania but he's gonna be tuned in to see John Cena whoop Cody's candy ass all over Las Vegas "

And be done with it.

Cena turning heel would have sold regardless. Dwayne couldn't help but to put his ego in the mix

 

[MenacingMonk]

The dumbass PR continues after Mania.

This company feeling untouchable and don’t give a fukk. I don’t blame them because we all know the majority of the audience will continue to watch and spend money while they complain online and/or pretend it’s good.
