both of these faggots should have never been allowed to rise above jobber level.
>>
we cannot back out of this matchup now, and the PW'ites damn sure cannot add Cody Rhodes to it.

Punk vs Roman is the biggest match WWE got for WM42 right now, they ain't ever done CM Punk vs Roman Reigns before. Two of their biggest stars, so run it.
>>
>>19824758
how old is that picture of phil? 10 years?
>>
we don't need a fucking Fatal 4-Way, we damn sure don't need a 6-way match. just Punk and Reigns, nobody else.
>>
>>19824758
I hope drew claymores Phil and he loses. This year needs to be McIntyre revenge tour

Oh please we all know Cody is winning the EC and beats drew in WM
>>
>>19824821
He’s not a very good wrestler and an average promo
>>
>>19824821
Cody was the actual driving force behind the boom period while romanetty part-timed, now wwe is dying a fast death and everyone is gonna point at roman as a non-draw when he wins the title and raw's ratings dont change whatsoever
his mystique will be dead by june
>>
>>19824758
Why is Roman going for a secondary belt?
>>
>>19824828
Nobody cares about Drew vs Cody. It shouldn't even main event night 1.
>>

>Cody was the actual driving force behind the boom period

>Cody was the actual driving force behind the boom period
No he wasn't you fucking retard, him and stupid fat marks ruining Reigns vs Rock killed WWE
>>
>>19824828
ugh hope they put cawdy in with phil and romulus for a triple threat meme match
>>
>>19824848
>>19824850
Yep, that one got the non-white pajeetline marks boiling
>>
>>19824839
>Cody was the actual driving force behind the boom period
Cody wasn't even in the company when roman was saving wwe fuck are you on about
>>
>its another "you were mean to me in the past so I hate you Punk" feud
How many of those has he had since returning. 4?
>>
>>19824851
fuck no. we've never done CM Punk vs Roman Reigns before. That's a WrestleMania 42, Night 2 main event-worthy match we cannot back out of now.
>>
>>19824854
it was The Rock, e-tard
>>
>>19824828
Right. And it will be the night 1 jannetty
>>
>>19824855
Reminder business was still shit and barely picking up back in 2021/2 until Cody returned at Mania, then business picked back up properly at the start of 2023 and lasted until Mania 2025 all of which was built around Cody

>>19824861
kek you're brown
>>
>>19824858
This was the most necessary one though.
>>
>>19824858
Anyone who was with him before he left the company can basically do the same thing
>>
>>19824858
That’s usually how feuds start lol
>>
>>19824839
>>19824868
no lies detected
romanetty is a fraud that only indians and niggers believe is a draw
>>
>>19824868
I came back for Rock. I became a fan of Cody because YJG but he is a weird fella lol
>>
>>19824855
>romanetty
>saving the company
kek he had a decent angle that everyone around him carried but wwe's attendances didnt really start going into the stratosphere until cody won the rumble for the first time
>>
>>19824854
always does lol

>>19824868
>>19824861
>>19824855
It was actually Rhea
>>
>>19824898
It was moreso here than Roman, unironically
The bloodline was a good narrative foundation to get people to have an entry-point but Roman wasn't eveven a top 3 merchandise mover for 2023-5, that was Cody, Jey, Cena and Rhea
When business was booming he wasn't really even a factor
>>
>>19824821
They really need to pull some bullshit to somehow insert Cody in Night 2 and make it a triple threat. Let Drew retain against some other shitter in Night 1.
>>
>>19824868
This is just retarded cope and makes no sense since cody can't draw as champion. Roman never had that issue. Cody fans don't even know that they are actually roman fans and don't give a shit when he's not there
>>
>>19824921
>since cody can't draw as champion.
The quarter immediately following Cody winning the championship WWE set financial records because Cody was so hot
> Roman never had that issue
Yeah because he had peak chasing Cody and Rock drawing the dimes for him while he sat at home and never showed up, that's not "not having the issue" that's everyone in your angle being better than you
>>
>>19824932
Cody was so hot people were chanting we want roman during his segments kek
>>
>>19824942
He was also so hot he was selling more merchandise and moving more tickets than roman ever had while roman sat at home drawing and doing nothing kek
Don't worry though, jeetbro, WWE put roman in a top 10 list, their history is the real history
>>
>>19824954
The guy roman put over sold a bunch of merch? You are owning me so hard dude. You even evoked jeys name a few posts ago kek.
>>
>>19824976
He was also WWE's top merch seller for 2023, you know, the year before Roman put him over?
The year he returned full-time, also the year their attendance averages went up drastically. Roman was never the guy, he just had the prop and WWE reiterated it enough you believed them.
>>
>>19824991
2023 when he fought roman? If he sold a bunch of merch in 2013 that would be a flex
>>
>>19824840
The kayfabe reason most likely will be seth-related, like showing him that the title didn't matter until he won it. The actual reason is something more like this way punk will carry the feud and roman won't appear much until mania.
>>
>>19824998
Why couldn't Roman sell more merch than Cody in either 2023 or 2024? Why didn't attendance skyrocket when Roman was champ without Cody to be the actual working face of the brand? Why did Cody sell more merch in 2025 when he had little-to-no involvement with Roman as well?
>>
The drawing peak of Cena's main run was his feud with The Rock.

The drawing peak of Cody's run and Roman's title run was when The Rock was cornerstoning the heel side of the build.

It's why Saudi wants him so bad for their Mania and why Vince and now TKO bend over backwards to him.
>>
>>19825024
>The drawing peak of Cena's main run was his feud with The Rock.
Actually it was objectively the quarter directly following wrestlemania when Roman went away for months, Rock was nowhere to be seen and all the focus was on Cody, where they recorded record financials
>>
10 year vacation bros i think we're cooked
>>
Segment was giga dimes
>>
>>19825033
NTA but you only like Cody because of how much they told you to
That’s like his whole thing
>>
>>19825047
I haven't spoken with any personal bias, I'm mostly just dashing the idea that roman was ever a substantial draw
I don't have to like or dislike someone to observe reality and the reality is that Cody was the draw in 2023-2025, Roman was just a stabilizer coming out of covid
>>
>>19825005
>50 year old geriatric has to carry a marquee feud all by himself for two straight months
I mean more power to him if he can pull it off but the absolute state of this fucking company that this is even in consideration
>>
Reigns did awesome clapping back at Punk with Punk's own ordeal with Drew McIntyre over a bracelet, Punk's 10 year hiatus from the WWE and the Colt Cabana reference (best friend's podcast).
>>
>>19825021
>Why couldn't Roman sell more merch than Cody in either 2023 or 2024?
Because he got a sweetheart part time deal after saving the company. Cody will never get a contract like that because he isn't a star
>>
>>19825054
Ok but Roman is cooler than Cody and there’s no contest there
>>
>>19825074
So you admit Roman doesn't draw as much and your only backup is that he gets good part time deals due to being a neposhitter? I accept your concession.
>>
>>19824758
>3 years ago AEWTISTS every single day spammed how CM Punk was so much better than Roman
>Now get to see them have a one on one match at Wrestlemania to actually prove their previous argument
>AEWTISTS instead will now spam every single day how lame it is and how nobody wants to see it

It is all so tiresome
>>
>>19825074
i'm very sure Triple H lets Cody Rhodes get away with part-timing because Cody's never here and he's got even less star power than Roman Reigns.
>>
>>19825080
Maybe, Cody's not cool, he's a goofy nerd at heart. Roman's probably a jock.
>>
>>19825081
No I said he didn't sell as much merch in 2024 because he left for half the year which cody will never have the leverage to do. Cody doesn't main event most of the ppvs so he's by default not a draw
>>
>>19825085
Because they're just dipshit contrarians and AEW offers them nothing to celebrate about. It's just MJF doing the same tired, hack bullshit, and a bunch of flippy nobodies doing thigh slaps, no selling, and superhero poses.
>>
>>19824758
I hope Roman ends Pukes career
>>
>>19824840
Drew should 100% bring this up on Friday and also mention how he's scared now that there's no Coconut Theater to help him win the belt and expose him as the fraud he's always been.
>>
>>19825098
I hope they go to lock up and their knees blow out
>>
>>19824821
The WWE Championship is still treated as the more important belt, and it's obvious Cody is winning the Elimination Chamber to challenge Drew since Drew eliminated him from the Royal Rumble.
>>
>after WrestleMania
>Cody is the WWE Universal Champion
>Roman is the Heavyweight Champion
Bretty cool
>>
How many more times will Roman show up for work before mania?
Also doesn't this ruin any suspense of if chez will lose the title between now and then?
>>
>>19825098
Jesus Christ, how are you AEW marks still so fucking butthurt over CM Punk? This is just sad and weird.
>>
>>19825092
WWE is more than PPVs, Cody worked many more live events than Roman at a point in time in which live event attendance averages were near AE levels. To say he wasn't the biggest ticket draw in the company in 2023/4 alongside biggest merch draw is objectively false.
He also headlined more PPVs in 2024 when he was champ
>>
>>19825113
I doubt we will see roman as champion again with his schedule. Unless they are really that desperate.
>>
>>19825123
We're not. He fucking sucks and can't wrestle.
>>
>>19825127
Triple H and TKO are desperate to go back to the past and rely on nostalgia acts. They'll probably take the WHC Belt off of Punk and put it on Reigns.
>>
>>19824821
His feuds as champion sucked dick and McIntyre zerg rushed him with title matches until he barely won by an interference. Take the belt off both of them and try something else.
>>
>>19825123
Fuck off tranny
just because you crawled back to WWE when Puke did don't act like you aren't some dickless troon
everyone was shitting on Puke when he was in AEW that was an EGod on what a massive useless faggot he is.
then all of a sudden he crawls back begging for a job cause he finally figured out you homos like shitty wrestling and you faggots squirm back with him pretending like you never left
you faggots out yourselves so fuckin easily

Bron breakker vs Jake paul
Dom Mysterio vs finn balor
Cm punk vs Roman reigns

>>19825356
Thats an solid card. Needs some gimmick matches though. Maybe turn Cody/Drew/Fatu into hiac.
>>
just CM Punk vs Roman Reigns is all you really need to have a 1-on-1 WrestleMania 42 Night 2 main event.
>>
Phil is going on vacation...and so is Tribal Queef

Tribal Queef will hog the belt until Dwayne bends over to MBS' Meccock next year...where Tribal Queef wins and drops it on MITB

night 1 main event = original el americano vs fake el americano in a loser takes mask off (both of them unmask in some meme spot but gable wins)

night 2 main event = phil vs joe

WWE never did a 1-on-1 Punk/Roman match on PPV before. They better not back out of that matchup, and WWE better not pull anymore bullshit add-ons.

better to just leave it as it is, run Punk vs Roman for the WHC Belt. and unlike his cousin Jey Uso in 2025, Roman actually gets to main event Night 2 this year.

Seth Rollins fucking better not insert himself into this 1-on-1 matchup between Punk and Roman. plus Rollins is still out with injury, and so we need to keep Punk-Roman a strictly 1-on-1 matchup for Night 2 at WrestleMania 42.
>>
>>19826126
>implying seth won't interfere at the end and cost one of them the match
>>
>>19826143
Seth Rollins has zero matches planned for WrestleMania 42. He should just wait until after WrestleMania season is over, and then make his return on the following Raw after WrestleMania 42.
>>
>>19826168
woulda coulda shoulda
>>
there better be zero involvement from Seth Rollins in any way, shape or form, he better not be there during Punk-Reigns
>>
>>19826080
They ran the triple threat last year. Now it’s time for a 1 on 1 between Phil and Roman. No one wants to see Rollins again in this feud man. Besides, when Rollins comes back it makes more sense for him to feud with Breakker and the Vision
>>
>>19825421
Triple threat HIAC hasn’t been done in ages. And this storyline justifies it. Im in favor of this idea
>>
>>19826210
Seth is wrapped up with the vision. Seth vs Breakrr is the match they need to make
>>
>>19826010
Roman called Zebros some “stupid shit” :(
>>
>>19825056
You can blame The Rock for this assinine shit, no one wanted the bloodline faggotry and it was the shittiest period WWE had in ratings.
God wills it, he will fuck off from wrestling and sell his shares back to Vince and Shane O'Mac since all the mcmahons aren't on a certain list, because the owners hates them for being redneck carnies, but ashley masarro was part of it infiltrated on the company since day 1 to keep an eye on "prospects" like vickers and his wife did for nascar.
>>
>>19824758
Is this the biggest money match they could make right now? Can't think of another
>>
>>19828033
Punk v Cody v roman
>>
>>19825143
Yes.

If you understand and accept that WWE under TKO is currently in its “Disney bought Star Wars from George Lucas” era, then pretty much everything they’re doing makes perfect sense. Legacy IP titles like Star Wars IX and characters like Han Solo draw more dimes than new original ideas, even if they’re nowhere near their prime.

Every time you see Punk, Roman, Orton, HHH, and The Rock on your screen, it’s not because they “can’t tell a different story with new talent” (though, I guess it could be, lol), it’s mostly because Iron Man 3 or another Superman reboot makes more money than something new and unproven. It’s the reason they agreed to the Cena farewell tour, and the reason they’ve got HBK, Steph, and Undertaker doing TV shows and podcasts.
>>
>>19825234
Yes. There is a 100% chance of this happening. Not a single doubt about it.
>>
>Roman Reigns better go after Drew McIntyre for the Undisputed Belt
nah, the money match is CM Punk vs Roman Reigns for the WHC Belt in the main event of WrestleMania 42, Night 2.
>>
>>19825234
there's no need for that match to have a belt. especially that one
>>
meanwhile, Sami Zayn's gonna win the Elimination Chamber for the right to challenge Drew McIntyre for the Undisputed Belt at WM42 and finally beat him at Mania.
>>
there's no denying that both CM Punk and Roman Reigns got crows feet under their eyes though. just one thing to keep in mind.

if there's gonna be any run-ins during the Punk-Reigns WM42 match at Night 2, then it should be just Finn Balor and the rest of his Judgment Day teammates coming after Punk to attack him and cost him the WHC Belt to Roman.
>>
>>19826547
i have a bad feeling Seth Rollins ain't gonna make Bron Breakker into a new star, for the same reason CM Punk refused to make Bron Breakker into a new star..
>>
>>19824758
What a difference time makes.

If Punk would've folded in 2015 to Daddy Vince, this would have been Austin vs Rock 2.0 with the bad boy anarchist versus the pretty boy corporate champion. But now Punk is the performative male corporate yes man and Roman is the big baller shot caller who is on a part time schedule and is above everything. So this is Punk finding out his little noodle arms are too short to box with God.
>>
>>19828271
>Punk v Cody v roman
>>
>>19828721
I hope there will be zero Seth Rollins involvement in any way, shape or form throughout this glorious main event matchup between CM Punk and Roman Reigns at Night 2 of WrestleMania 42

Who’s the goofy dragon
>>
>>19832029
Cody lmao
>>
>>19832029
who the fuck do you think
>>
both Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins better not get involved in the Night 2 main event revolving around CM Punk and Roman Reigns. This is Punk's and Roman's moment to shine for Night 2.
>>
since Roman Reigns has finally shown his hunger in his work for the first time since the Bloodline heyday, i think Reigns should take the WHC Belt off of Punk, with the help of Finn Balor's outside interference.
>>
just in case something happens to CM Punk in any event where he catches sexual harassment charges, i wouldn't want my WHC Belt on him any longer. I'd just put it in safe hands by making Roman Reigns the new WHC Champ.
>>
>>19832878
Were good. Cody is with Fatu and Drew. Seth is with the vision. Phil and Roman are getting their own program

Sami is expected to win the Undisputed Belt from Drew McIntyre at WrestleMania 42.

>Sami is expected to win the Undisputed Belt from Drew McIntyre at WrestleMania 42.
>>
>>19835335
it has been in the works for a while now, plus it's too early for Cody to win back the Undisputed Belt. Cody needs a break from the main event scene for some time, until next year.
>>
me personally, i still don't like the idea of Sami Zayn winning the Undisputed Championship Belt from Drew McIntyre at WrestleMania 42

but unfortunately, that's what Ari Emanuel and Triple H planned in mind, so it's gonna happen. Sami breaks his individual losing streak against McIntyre at Sin City.
>>
either way, barring no bullshit outside interferences during this epic Night 2 main event for WrestleMania 42, this should be an absolute ball game of a WrestleMania match between CM Punk and Roman Reigns.
>>
>>19837279
if sami is going to win the title he's going to do it in saudi arabia at mania 43
how would he even get a match against drew? he's not winning the chamber this year over cody
>>
>>19836163
Correct, Cody needs a break. And it’s Drew’s turn
>>
>>19825125
Cody was a work horse but Roman was carrying the actual main event scene whenever the company needed a big moment feel. When they tried Cody in this spot, interest in the product declined.
