>>20020049So the only reason Cody lost the belt in the first place was because they wanted him to be in the Rumble and EC lmao
>>20020094if this was true then they should have listened to cody's idea and had drew win at wrestlepalooza, he won way too late and basically didn't have a reign as a result
come on guys, let's just see where this goes first.
>>20020049Did they at least boo him?
That was super gay. Not bc cody won.
>>20020117>
world title reign #3they're trying to get him to that cena number
>>20020113Drew was leaving to film Highlander after Mania anyway so hes got fuck all to do now
Paul can’t book.
>>20020161this, if he puts over his enemies he fluffs up his total number of world title reigns
smackdown is irredeemableLiterally fire everybody
>>20020196this was the first bad episode since the start of the year/the ryan ward return to 3 hours eraand it wasn't just because of this match, although that was a part of it
You fags need to stop being critic Smarks. Be fans.
>>20020208Fatu comes and goes and never does anything, Drew is a comedy jobber, Ilja is wherever the fuck, the rest is terrible, fuck smackdown, fire this dogshit roster
I'm gonna guess that they're either STILL gonna make it a four way with Fatu and Drew, or Drew and Fatu will be another card as a grudge match to settle Drew attacking Fatu before. >>20020208>first bad episode since the start of the year lol
>>20020230I had a blast, og blast haver reporting in
what the fuck is this booking man. what the fuck was the point of this shit?
>>20020113i dont think it wouldve mattered if the plan was always gonna be Randy/Cody although i suppose it wouldve helped Drews reign a bit because he only defended it once
Why put the belt back on Cody? Every one of his fueds suck and their not going to have him lose two WMs in a row.
>>20020338He's the face of the company
>>20020118Some audible boos when it became apparent he was going over, but were drown out by those marking out when they realized they were gonna see a title change.
>more cody bullshit>randy probably going to job at mania because cody is politicking and HHH doesn't want Randy to surpase his world title countI'm tired bros
>>20020338>Why put the belt back on Cody?Because YJG. YJG!
>>20020338cause he only lost the belt so he could be in the rumble and EC and so he wouldn't look like a bitch when roman chose phil
>>20020365randy winning is the only thing that would make this acceptabledon't care if he has to turn heel, but cody rhodes should not be walking out of wrestlemania with that title
The worst part is that you know he won't drop the belt before WM43
drew coulda headlined all in vs ospreay this year but he chose his fate
>>20020049Wow. I don't care :)
>>20020398that part but unironically
>>20020094he's their biggest star brother>>20020365why paul don't want me mayne
>>20020398>>20020412assplay can't walk. crippled for life. will never wrestle or wipe his own ass or hug his black wife's son again
wtf is the point of dropping the belt like 6 weeks before mania when it already changed hands like 2 months ago, you don't need to hotshot before mania twice, that defeats the point of a hotshot to setup a mania matchschizo booking
>>20020398>jobbing to ospreay in a half empty stadiumMan why are AEW fans always so mean
>>20020118No>>20020357lmao
>>20020436>he's their biggest star no one knows who CAWdy ishttps://x.com/i/status/2027119185755557994
>>20020457because Hunter hates Drew specfically
>>20020457>>20020514Cawdy knew roman was going over during the rumble and didn't want to have the belt because it would make him look like a bitch. if you have the belt and the rumble guy doesn't pick it then you look like a bitch>muh gay usothat didn't even main event and jey looked like a bitch and it made gunther's belt look like the bitch belt
>Noooo the belt never change this is boring>nooooo stop changing the title too much
>>20020558Changing the title this close to WrestleMania is never a popular decision and it defeats the purpose of the Rumble and EC stips, you fucking retarded faggot.
>>20020578>it's ok when the attitude era did it
>>20020558>cawdy is boring, give someone else the belt>no stop putting the belt on cawdythe problem is cawdy. cawdy can't have a good fued. his only good feuds were the one with roman and the rock and the one with cena and in the first case it was the meta story about fuck vince and the cena one was literally all cena, cena could have done it with anyone, cawdy didn't contribute at all
>>20020161>they're trying to get him to that cena numberNope. They'll just give him one more than The Rock or Stone Cold because Triple Gay is a petty faggot like that
>>20020617So who would you have as the next top face then?
>>20020591If you're referring when a heel like Sycho Sid or The Rock did it, yes, that's called heat. Cody Rhodes has been a Babyface ever since he returned.
>>20020457You guys complain that title reigns last too long, now you're complaining they're too short.
>edrone defense force is hereAnd I'm out
>>20020619Randy has 14, the Rock as 10 and SCSA has 6>>20020630Gable
>>20020338I think it’s going to be a triple threat with McIntyre and he eats Randy’s pin. Then Cody wins it back at SS like last year. So he will lose but not like a bitch
>>20020638for me the problem is that title reigns for the boring fucks like cody and roman go for 10000 years but they're too short for kino wrestlers like drew. randy won't win, cody needs the belt for another 6 months at least, but if by some fluke he does his reign will be 90 days max before he drops back to cody.
>>20020376randy has to win
>>20020049It was always just a pity run for Drew. He probably got it in his last contract negotiation. Hopefully he’s on the WM preshow. He barely deserves that much lol
>>20020638see>>20020617
>>20020578Orton vs Cody is clearly the bigger and more interesting match. Drew and Jacob will have a great match too.
>>20020669Why didn't they know that three to six months ago? People have been wanting that match since Cody returned. It's not an excuse for bad booking.
>>20020676I don't see what's bad about it
>>20020669>>20020676>cawdy match>big>interestingalso didn't they literally just do last year at night of champions? >>20020686cawdy is one of the guys in the match
>>20020686People are reacting negatively, which these days is a given, but as I said it undermines the last two events they centered around title shots for WrestleMania. It's not complicated. This writing is for babies.
>>20020049this was almost 20 years ago
>>20020665>drew's last contract: 2 months pity title reign>gunther's last contra: to retire goldberg, to retire john cena, to retire AJ styles, and a private tour buswhich one is supposed to be the top heel on the roster i can't tell
>>20020693>People are reacting negativelyContrarians on /pw/ are not people.
>>20020699it would be kino if they got jr as the special guest ref
>>20020723isn't he in jail for gay sex?
>>20020735they have drumpf on speed dial, they can get him out for one night
>>20020762he's not jewish so that's not happening
>>20020762That would be Priceless.™
>>20020504>0 likes>0 retweets>0 comments>some retard talking about a paid celebrity plant niggerEnlightening
>>20020049They should've do Fatal Four Way
>>20020165>Mask vs Career match against Americano>Americano over>Drew returns after filming as a non-Americano luchadorIf they don't want Drew as champ then at least throw him into the silly storylines.
>comes in yours thread to shit on the QB1 and leave
>>20020855>Is a gay nigger>Wants everyone to know
>>20020165>Remaking highlanderwhy?
>>20020847No they shouldn't. Cody and Randy is the story. Drew and Jacob is another story, and whoever wins that match can challenge for the title.
>>20020665He's gonna show up in the arena, cut a generic promo on the crowd and get beaten by Joe Hendry/Danhausen/whatever hall of famer is the least sawdusted
Are they turning him heel?? How is the crowd ok with this booking?
>>20020945It doesn’t always have to be a face vs heel balance. The Cena turn was so forced and cringe I doubt they’ll do that again
KIRDBLT
>>20020651Randy is tied with Triple H (Vince gave both those fags all those reigns btw) so Triple Gay will never let Randy surpass him and Cody having 11 reigns in the next 5 years is possible and he will 100% do it
>>20020723They blurred his face out in WWE 2K26. He's been Benoited
>>20020398This but in all honesty unironically, TK always books talent in their home country and he does it well and he does reward guys who do the job.I can't imagine Drew winning a main title that doesn't look like a happy meal toy and then losing it in the main event of the biggest show of the company to a hyper active Brit is any worse than the humiliation ritual he has constantly been subjected to ever since Punk returned.
>>20021187His feud with Punk was literally the highlight of his career, and if you can't see that, you don't know the first thing about wrestling.
>>20021187im sure Drew would be better off having heckin bangerinos and jobbing to Orange Cassidy
Why the hell was Fatu attacking Cody all those times for?Is like whoever is in charge of booking has amnesia or something. Is the same thing with OG Americano helping Penta or Seff forgetting the seven tsunamis Bronson gave him. What's next AJ Styles helping Gunther win his Wrestlemania match?
>>20021291they should unironically have AJ show up and fuck over L.A. Knight at mania
>>20020869No clue, but Batista is playing Kurgan and Connor will be played by Henry Cavill. Drew will be playing Angus MacLeod.
all title changes on free tv are good.
>Main Event will be a triple threat between Sami/Cody/Orton>Drew will be relegated to a filler match vs Fatu fuck HHH
>>20020398This. Stupid game, stupid prizes
Knight should've won the chamber and be going against Drew at Mania. You could've set up Cody Vs Randy without the title very easily.
>road dogg quits>smackdown immediately becomes shit
>>20020049first my drew gets geeked out like a fucking bitchif my jacy gets geeked out tomorrow i will actually be beside myself with rancor
>>20021603cawdy needs the title to be relevant because no one gives a shit about him
>>20020161this niggas 40. he might at most tie reigns who is at like 7 iirc
>yfw even more refunds happening
>>20021687I hate cawdy but it doesn't really matter. Vegas got decimated by the economy and online sports betting apps so they just want to cater to the super rich and they paid WWE a ton to have WM in vegas. all anyone cares about is getting the whales into the casinos
>>20021603LA Knight was butting heads with CM Punk. I was hoping Triple Gay wouldn't be a faggot for once and have CM Punk turn heel and defend against LA Knight while Roman went after Cody to get the eventual trilogy match out of the way already. WM 42 feels like the most dogshit filler WrestleMania since 36 and 37
finner preparing for the street finner cross promo later this year
>>20020398here's your banger, bruvhttps://youtu.be/AR-QHXaAaJU
>>20020049Could’ve done this at Elimination Chamber instead of having 4 (FOUR) mid matches. Why even try to win the EC if the loser gets a title shot the next week?
>>20021829pcb
>>20020049I wasn't going to but if they really finally do randy vs cody 1 on 1 I will watch this shitty mania
>>20020208I enjoyed the episode. Only skipped part of the Women's tag and the Wyatt Sicks
>>20020338Every one of his feuds is good.
let's be honest, Cody vs Randy is an infinitely better match than Drew vs Randy. has more potential to be a great feud too if one of them turns heel
>>20021616Is Jacy even defending on Vengeance Day?
this is drew's entire reign
>>20022242kwab
>>20022242Embarrassing
>>20022242That thing about Cody wanting to drop the title to him earlier makes sense to me desu
>>20021829cause cawdy wanted to take someone else's chamber spot and they wanted phil and aj to wrestle in chicago
>>20021829should have put drew in the chamber and done it there, it seemed they were going that way too when drew was randomly attacking everyone
>>20021851>>20021868they just did cawdy vs randy last year and cawdy sucks
>>20020049Wht does Drew let this continue to happen every time?
I love this, because I love Cody. It makes sense. Now will they make the WM match a three way? Four way with Fatu? They need to skip EC for a little while, because it’s making WM main events too paint by the numbers. No story is needed for either title. It makes a match like Becky vs AJ more interesting than winner #1 vs current champ.
>>20020869because that movie was good and used the word faggot, and they want to replace the past with a new, gay, brown version of it
>>20022991>I love this, because I love Cody.why?
>>20022908you say 'cawdy' on a lightly-viewed message board, like a little mark faggot 12 year oldWWE is not for you and nobody cares if you watch or not
>>20023046>clearly crying like a bitch and caring>nobody cares
>>20022242Why does this website say Drew has been champion since September?
>>20023046why are you crying? I shan't watch the cawdy slop. cawdy isn't a draw. that's why he's been fired from every company he has ever worked for
>>20022991They should swap Clash and Chamber. Use it as either the build or blowoff for SummerSlam. I'd also suggest that they swap to the Hell in a Cell cage and drop the delayed entrance gimmick.
>>20022991>>20023143>>20022762I think the only way you can get the chamber to work is by having someone defend the belt in the chamber. making it so the chamber is the rumble 2 just hurts the rumble and mania
>>20023174The issue is that Rumble occupies one belt and Chamber occupies the other so there's no room for anything else. If you split them then there's more flexibility in the builds since there's only one spot at a time being taken up by the gimmick. An alternative is that the Chamber match is for a title match at Backlash and you declare which title at WM. I don't find that particularly interesting but at least it allows for a couple of new angles.
>>20023225I agree but having the royal rumble be for only one world title diminishes the other world title as secondary by default.the best idea is to just scrap 2 world titles. there aren't enough full time main eventers to justify 2 world titles.
>>20023225>>20023244yeah I'd just get rid of the heavy weight title and maybe add a cruiser weight if it's needed, but if not just have the ic or us title be the main belt on the show without the world title and have the ic or us title defended in the EC match
>>20022284yeah had they had actually have Drew go over Cody like Cody wanted to at Palooza it wouldve been better for his reign and everything surronding it
>>20020049Always happy to see Drew getting screwed over.
>>20021829I sincerely hope we get the swerve of Cody turning heel rather than Orton. Everyone thinks Orton will turn heel but Orton is already playing a tweener in the way he acts. Turn Cody heel, have him cheat to beat Orton, then do the Sami Zayn thing, then have Cody drop the strap to Oba or Trick at SummerSlam.
>>20023174They used to do that. The WHC and WWE title were ALWAYS defended in the Chamber to shake shit up before Mania. BUT since they just HAVE TO have worthless fucking bitches waste a gimmick slot too, they can't do it anymore because how do you justify putting one world title on the line rather than the other? Simple solution FOR ME is to have 5 guys from Raw and 5 guys from Smack compete in an elimination tag match and the winning brand gets to have the Elimination Chamber match with the world title on the line.
>>20023244The winner picks just like it is now. But if the Chamber isn't for a WM match then the winner of that match can pick too instead of fighting for the secondary belt like Randy is this WM.
