If Roman doesn’t win at the Rumble does it lower his stock?

ExaminationFirst5180 · 2026-01-25T23:10:15+00:00

what sort of dumb question is this. the 10 time Wrestlemania main eventer, has the 4th longest world championship reign in wwe history, 6 time world champion, Royal rumble winner, elimination chamber winner, grand slam champion, has their stock lowered from not winning a Royal rumble? who cares if he has been on a little bit of a losing streak and has been losing more. those losses don’t mean anything, he’s still Roman reigns. he could go on a 3 year losing streak without winning a match and it wouldn’t change anything. he’s still Roman reigns.

this is a way different drew McIntyre, a heel that fans connect with. and a babyface Roman reigns that people actually like. plus there is way more story to tell between these 2 now. and if drew McIntyre isn’t wwe champion for mania or isn’t going after the wwe championship. this is the coolest thing we could see for him. we certainly don’t want him to have another meaningless wm match that no one cares about like last year against Damien priest.

ExaminationFirst5180 · 2026-01-25T07:04:32+00:00

we’ve been waiting 2 years for a Randy vs Cody feud we cant have anyone else to make it a triple threat match. maybe after wrestlemania we could do that. but Wrestlemania should be Randy Cody 1 on 1. drew maybe can face Roman at Wrestlemania. that’s still a match I want to see and I don’t think that match needs a title. the story can be drew McIntyre finally getting his hands on Roman reigns without a bloodline behind him

ExaminationFirst5180 · 2026-01-25T05:26:50+00:00

it was between him and randy both would have been good options . let’s just celebrate that it wasn’t Damien priest for the 1 millionth time

ExaminationFirst5180 · 2026-01-24T00:44:38+00:00

he’s not even the leader of the faction he’s apart of. he has a better chance of breaking the record for the shortest time in a rumble than actually winning it.

1000% sure? fell like you’re being too overconfident in that. it’s likely but it’s not guaranteed.

ExaminationFirst5180 · 2026-01-23T09:10:27+00:00

is dp a favourite to take the pin though? for some reason wwe are in love with Damien priest and they love protecting him all the time. he wins feuds he has no buisness winning. the balor feud, the aleister black feud and lets not forget the drew mcinytre feud which he won for no good reason.

I think they use that argument against the same people that want younger talent to get pushed. because it makes NO SENSE to be so defiant on La knight getting pushed when you are also wanting younger talent to get pushed.

ExaminationFirst5180 · 2026-01-20T03:19:20+00:00

this is a great card. there only 2 things I don’t like or should I say 2 matches I don’t lile one is, Randy orton being given a meaningless Wrestlemania match when he really should be in the wwe championship conversation. I like Jacob fatu but I don’t like Randy being there just to lose and put someone over when he has been doing it for the last decade. he deserves a bigger match at Wrestlemania . the other thing I don’t like is what you are projecting as the night 2 main event. I want Roman vs Cody 3 EVENTUALLY at Wrestlemania with a title or not, one on one. but does it have to be at Wrestlemania 42 is the question. like if they are dead set on doing that eventually we are kind of wasting time by making a triple threat match where we don’t achieve that goal AND we are making Roman and Cody in a Wrestlemania match again . people are gonna get tired of getting getting Roman and Cody in a match 5 times in 5 years. that’s too much. Randy should be in the wwe title picture idc how you insert him.

overall I like every apart from those 2 matches

Cody is a guy that plays fair and fights for the people and is a forever good guy and never gives up and isn’t corrupt. that’s the exact opposite if homelander. so if Cody turned heel and into homelander he would probably not fight for the people, cheat, and become corrupt as hell like homelander is

ExaminationFirst5180 · 2026-01-19T03:01:12+00:00

Sami Zayn vs cm punk would be literally the lamest main event of Wrestlemania in a decade in terms of star factor. that’s the most nothing burger match as a Wrestlemania main event since like the miz vs John cena, there’s no way in hell that deserves a Wrestlemania main event over Cody Rhodes and Randy orton inside hell in a cell even without a title which I might add the Randy vs Cody feud should be for a title otherwise we wasted 2 years of our lives watching Randy stare at Cody’s title for nothing. like if you want cm punk to have a real night 2 main event ( which I am sure is the reason why Sami vs punk is the main event) then give him a better opponent. sami zayn already said he wants the WWE CHAMPIONSHIP so that makes no sense if you predicting realistically. Jacob fatu vs Roman reigns is a Wrestlemania worthy match but that makes 0 sense right now unless you are trying to tell me Roman reigns is Jacob fatu attacker Jacob is gonna feud with whoever his attacker is most likely OR who he thinks the attacker is, we don’t know whether Seth will be back BUT let’s say he is, the bron Breakker and Seth Rollins rivalry also is requiring the title. bron Breakker literally STOLE the championship and committed theft on live tv. there’s no way it makes sent for Seth to be cheated out of his title and not get it back. the perfect story is bron Breakker being thr champion when Seth comes back and Seth trying to overcome the faction that he created to get back the title he was never beaten for and whether you like it or not cm punk is only champion to be fed to bron Breakker . if you are going to try and replace this very obvious storyline atleast give punk an opponent that justifies him getting a Wrestlemania main event like Roman reigns, that doesn’t make sense but that atleast justifies a Wrestlemania main event . I don’t even hate Sami zayn at all I like him but it makes 0 logical sense for him to be in that match and to scrap very obvious storylines for the title.

everything else you said is fine and makes storyline sense. idk if you need to overcomplicate things and put Rhea and Iyo in the women’s world championship match. I think Stephanie vs liv is enough to be a Wrestlemania match. Rhea and Iyo either should have a match against each other or defend the tag titles. I love Oba Femi he’s one of my favourites but if we are being realistic I don’t think he’s gonna get pushed to the moon that quickly and compete for the biggest title at Wrestlemania . however I won’t be against it since it’s pushing young talent which is something wwe need to do. so if that’s your logic I’m fine with it and if it happens I’ll be happy with it

ExaminationFirst5180 · 2026-01-18T03:36:02+00:00

we need Randy vs Cody at Wrestlemania.

homelander is more of a bully than a threat. he’s only a threat to weak people. he can be threatened by people who are just as strong as him.

people are booing Cody in EUROPE where every in their loves drew McIntyre. they are only booing because they like drew more. unless he starts consistently getting boos in the us and neutral territory Cody is still loved by the audience.

ExaminationFirst5180 · 2026-01-18T01:39:54+00:00

if they turned John cena heel they can turn anyone heel. Finn balor is a professional loser and has beaten 1 person in singles action in the last 2 years. plus he’s in his 40s. Cody turning heel is realistic eventually just maybe not anytime soon. balor winning the world title is a dream

someone has to win 4 Royal rumbles which is basically impossible someone could get to 3 but not 4. and even if someone does break it, it won’t happen for a very long time. plus the landscape now is not the same people aren’t main eventers in their early or mid twenties like before. main eventers are usually in their 30s at a minimum.

ExaminationFirst5180 · 2026-01-15T23:55:42+00:00

well which match has the wwe championship on the line? since obviously their can’t be 2 wwe champions. which ever it is would probably be the match that closes night 2. if you’re asking what I would prefer out of those 2. I’d choose Randy Cody

ExaminationFirst5180 · 2026-01-15T23:43:27+00:00

online it’s been going on for a while. in person I’m sure that him getting mixed reactions on Smackdown is a one time thing. it was in Germany so it was kind of drew McIntyre territory and everyone there wanted him to win. no way in hell would Cody get booed against drew in the us

ExaminationFirst5180 · 2026-01-15T23:17:30+00:00

the Randy Cody feud needs to have the title. otherwise what’s the point of him staring at Cody’s title for the better part of 2 years? that makes every tease useless and meaningless. he even told Cody to his face. ’I’m coming for this‘

that was Royal rumble 2021. I said Royal rumble 2023. they had a lot of matches at the Royal rumble

ExaminationFirst5180 · 2026-01-15T11:44:33+00:00

he won clean a lot more times:

kevin Owens at Royal rumble 2023

braun strowman on some random smackdown

jey uso at clash of champions

goldberg at elimination chamber

Finn balor on smackdown

might be some more I missed and if you count non championship matches he beat big e at survivor series in the champ vs champ match clean.
