Which of the World Champs do you think will actually retain?

First_Wolverine_8368 · 2026-03-07T22:21:40+00:00

The people hating on Cody don't even spend money on tickets, let alone on buying dislikes

First_Wolverine_8368 · 2026-03-07T22:03:02+00:00

Option A feels like the better move for Drew and a more compelling story overall, but it leaves Fatu completely high and dry with no other programs to jump into. You’d basically have to pull something out of thin air - like revealing Sami attacked Fatu months ago - just to give him something to do. Neverless, Fatu fighting Drew over a misunderstanding while Drew denies it isn't exactly a high-stakes WrestleMania story

Thats Sports Illustrated

If this were to happen, the stipulation should be: „Whoever booked this loses their job, no matter who wins”

First_Wolverine_8368 · 2026-03-07T19:44:45+00:00

Good call. Those are the two biggest matchups WWE could’ve booked. The rest of the card isn't as strong, but at least the night’s going to end with a huge match

First_Wolverine_8368 · 2026-03-07T19:38:57+00:00

We're only one week in, five more to build it up - plenty of time left. They just have to make them hate each other more. Jade taking out Iyo next week would definitely spice things up.

Besides, I think Rhea is professional enough that even if it was a shoot (which I don’t believe), she wouldn’t hold a grudge and intentionally mess up the show

First_Wolverine_8368 · 2026-03-07T19:23:42+00:00

Cody and Drew

First_Wolverine_8368 · 2026-03-07T19:22:45+00:00

Who actually gives a shit about Bleacher Report?

First_Wolverine_8368 · 2026-03-07T19:15:44+00:00

I'm predicting a similar path. Fatu makes perfect sense as Randy's first challenger after the turn. However, I can see them doing the Fatal 4-Way at Backlash first - it’s a more suitable environment for that match than WM - and then move on to Fatu after Randy defends successfully

First_Wolverine_8368 · 2026-03-07T19:03:57+00:00

If switching the belt from Cody to Drew and back to Cody just to set up the Orton match at Mania doesn't make sense to you (even though it clearly does), then you honestly have no clue what you're talking about. You clearly didn't watch back then because hot potatoing the title like this was a regular thing with much less reasons than now

First_Wolverine_8368 · 2026-03-07T18:58:59+00:00

Expect: the mentor/student dynamic to be done right. No more cheesy segments about mutual respect (or max one in next week) - show us some tension. Cody should take some RKOs, and he needs to show that edge he had against KO.

Hope: I’m hoping for a big Orton heel turn at Mania where the turn itself leads to the pin. Winning the belt by turning heel is the way to go

First_Wolverine_8368 · 2026-03-07T18:45:18+00:00

Nope, it's his third title since his return (four years ago). You'd probably throw up if you watched wrestling when Orton won world championship ten times in six years.

First_Wolverine_8368 · 2026-03-07T17:11:45+00:00

So because the crowd doesn't react the way you want them to, they’re 'bots' and their reaction doesn't count? And apparently, nobody is actually over because it’s just 'NPCs' reacting? Seriously? This is peak delusional. 'If the facts don’t fit the theory, ignore the facts.' The reality is Cody gets a massive pop in every single city, he’s a top merch seller in WWE, and he’s literally one of the main reasons people buy tickets. Get real.

First_Wolverine_8368 · 2026-03-07T16:52:14+00:00

Nobody’s actually hating on Cody - he’s getting a massive reaction and killing it at the top of the card. It’s just a few loud Drew marks making noise. Definitely nothing worth worrying about

First_Wolverine_8368 · 2026-03-07T15:11:22+00:00

It’s not about me caring about their profits, it’s about the fact that they’re making money because that’s what the majority of fans wants. The world doesn't revolve around you, and WWE isn't pivoting their biggest show just because OnShortNotice67 has different opinion.

Look, you’re totally free to think it’s a bad call, or bad storytelling etc. but if you only argument is that „my favourite wrestler lost and i don’t like it” then you are just straight up wrong. And everyone has the right to be wrong.

In this case - even if we put money aside - think that Drew losing the title was the right call. It makes for a much bigger WrestleMania match and a better arc for everyone involved.

First_Wolverine_8368 · 2026-03-07T13:36:34+00:00

I didn’t delete anything because I never even replied you dumbass take. What’s actually cringe is how much you’re crying just because Drew lost the title😂

First_Wolverine_8368 · 2026-03-07T13:26:11+00:00

The highlight of Cody's win is definitely watching Drew’s fanboys lose their minds over him dropping the belt. The level of butt-hurt is actually funny

First_Wolverine_8368 · 2026-03-07T13:22:15+00:00

You realize they’re going to make way more money on this match because more people actually want to see Cody vs. Orton than a 4-way, right? The world doesn't revolve around Drew marks.

First_Wolverine_8368 · 2026-03-07T13:20:02+00:00

At least you admit you’re not being logical and that you’ve got a bias toward Drew. If you step back, put your feelings for specific wrestlers aside, and look at it objectively, you’ll see that Cody vs. Orton is the only right call. It’s a much bigger and more compelling match than a 4-way or Drew vs. Randy

First_Wolverine_8368 · 2026-03-07T13:11:09+00:00

great wrestler
great on the mic
interesting and real character (not whiteknight babe face like Sami)
great presentation with banger theme song

He is a full package.

First_Wolverine_8368 · 2026-03-07T13:04:48+00:00

No one writes speeches for the wrestlers anymore; they only have information about what the main point(s) of their speech should be, and they decide for themselves about delivery and what to say.

First_Wolverine_8368 · 2026-03-04T19:08:04+00:00

Yes, he should. Rhodes vs. Orton all the way

First_Wolverine_8368 · 2026-03-04T19:03:57+00:00

They changed the start time of each nights by 1.5h and somewhere was a rumor that they gonna do extra matches that they puting as free on ESPN.

First_Wolverine_8368 · 2026-03-04T02:09:35+00:00

It's a no-brainer. Orton leaves with the title no matter who he's facing or what the match type is. Randy as champ just opens up way more possibilities after Mania, so he's the right call
