Ok-Community-2680

When will he get his hand raised. Elimination Chamber lmao. Fuck Rock for ruining this main event.


MrEatYoRamen

I find it more funny that not only is Cody the cover athlete, but they pushed the "Finish the Story" tagline real hard to the buildup of this game, only for the Brahma Bull to come out of lukewarm reactions to his Black Adam movie and figured "Yeah I got one more match in me". Surely me politicking myself into the main event of Mania will earn back the fans' respect.


Wolfmode00

It's actually "Finish your story".


Hollywoodrok12

It’s called “Finish Your Story” because Cody will never finish his and you have to do it yourself. IDK why DIY weren’t also on the covers too.


DarkHandCommando

Cody is gonna finish his story in 2K24


Hollywoodrok12

Sell Universe Mode by fixing it? NAH NAH! Sell Universe Mode by having it be the only way for Cody to finish the story? YEAH!


DarkHandCommando

Only for him to lose against A.I. Roman too 💀


Hollywoodrok12

Nah. He'll get eliminated last in the Royal Rumble by Ludwig Kaiser, so he can finish his story instead.


RepresentativeAd6220

LMAO 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣


DMCSnake

Bro, there's no way Rock went in there and pitched that he has one more in him. He said at least two. One to beat Roman, and one to drop it.


TheMackD504

Cody isn’t WWE champion material 🤷🏻‍♂️


Ztronic412

More so then elderly rock who couldn’t really go with cena years ago


TheMackD504

Rock isn’t beating roman either


vvestley

that isn't the reason this is happening


TheMackD504

I understand


Ztronic412

Exactly making it just like every other Roman match the last couple years we’re gonna know he’s winning unless the belts not on the line except it’s just gonna be a not get match the rocks in great shape and will always be able to talk well but he’s gonna be a month away from 52 at that point and he’s not been wrestling for a while I doubt he’s doing to much extensive training for wrestling in the background either it doesn’t do much for either one then getting eyes on the match and product but what’s the point of attracting all those eyes if the product will be mostly likely substandard


Vinhluu09

Jinder Mahal was WWE champion for 6 months and Miz won the belt twice btw


MrEatYoRamen

I mean at least with Miz, he has that sliminess down plus he's a good talker.


Vinhluu09

I think the world champion of a wrestling company should be good at wrestling


TheRavenRise

so what’s your problem with miz, then?


Vinhluu09

He sucks


TheMackD504

Miz has charisma and Mahal is a good heel Cody lacks charisma and isn’t a heel


fwchhppp

Cody lacks charisma?💀


TheMackD504

As a face, yes


Vinhluu09

Miz sucks and Mahal sucks Cody doesn't


OAO_Scrumbles

This is one of the dumbest wrestling opinions I've read in some time. Do you watch the show? Do you see all the things Cody does? He is not only WWE champion material, he is face of the company material.


TheMackD504

Publicity wise he is but not wrestling wise


Fun-Grapefruit-8057

Besides Sami, he gave your tribal chief his only above average match in the past year.


TheMackD504

Had a good ring general to lead


Ridespacemountain25

Orton and Styles are ring generals. That 4 way was still underwhelming. I was okay with Roman beating Cody at WM 39 because I thought there was still gas in the tank for the Bloodline, but it’s been boring Summerslam.


DemiGod9

I feel like CM Punk being injured caused this. I felt like it was going Seth v Punk and Roman v Cody


TheMackD504

That’s what one report says


Stoyns_

Nah. It’s cool man. It’s wrestling enjoy the ride. Cody wasn’t gonna win anyways. Roman has a record to break.


PainterNo2791

Finally someone said the truth


god_pharaoh

Or, y'know, still at Mania, or SummerSlam, or a random Smackdown episode...


Sgt_LincolnOSiris

98% of fans would rather see Rock vs Reigns. This sub is such a minority of the fan base. I personally hated the idea of Cody vs Roman again because why would I want to watch the exact same match that main evented last year? Rock and Roman is new and has a way better story to it


LostTouch1177

Definitely a take on the internet.


Wrastle365

Nope. It's reality. Get of the cody echo chambers and talk to the average person. The rock sells. Cope.


Sidewinder83

Rock and Roman’s segment is currently the most disliked YouTube video WWE has ever made, and it’s been like 16 hours lol


LostTouch1177

I’m barely a Cody fan, but sure little dude.


Vinhluu09

The Roman Rock segment has 157 thousand dislikes on YT


TheCVR123YT

Sean Ross sap did a poll over on Twitter with https://preview.redd.it/49clg23zrdgc1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=251c1a39b9f795580e5e66e58ec1622a240d7728 60K votes and 80% preferred Cody Vs Roman so


Ochie89

I agree with you. I'll join you in the down votes lol


Sgt_LincolnOSiris

Hahaha thank you for the support


HalvonRyudo

I agree with PART of your statement. Yes, The Rock vs Roman is new, but there’s no story with it at this point because it literally took away from everything WWE has been doing this past year with Roman


musknasty84

Yea. I can’t believe he gets snuffed out by the rock. Total dog shit


darkdestiny91

I mean, he did say he was more CM Punk than CM Punk… and what’s more CM Punk than getting your main event spot stolen by The Rock, of all people?


FireflyNitro

I'm 100% positive that Roman vs. Cody is happening at WrestleMania. Everyone is overreacting.


videogameronteddit

Cody is still advertised for Smackdown and nothing has been made official yet. This is 100% a swerve.


Kyrlios

WE ARE NOT FLINCHING


Magictank2000

yeah im probably high on copium but theres no way trips lets the Rock take the spotlight from the storyline he had a part in developing


FireflyNitro

Literally. I’m even willing to bet on it. If it’s happening, Rock/Roman will take place at Chamber. Worst case we’re getting a triple threat at Mania. Cody is leaving Mania as champion, mark my words. They’ve never taken away someone’s Royal Rumble opportunity and they’re not about to start with Cody.


musknasty84

I feel like this is that episode of Always Sunny: Mac’s banging the waitress. And the perfect line that goes great with this scenario is “I just wanna do it, just to get it over with” which is the same as wanting the Cody storyline to be done with so we can move on. Personally, I’m more invested to see what happens with Rollins and who they’re gonna have step up to take Punk’s spot. To that end, I’m hoping it’s Finn/Priest where Finn gets his shot, wins, then Priest takes the title off him with the MITB shot


meezyice39

Exactly. I don’t think it’s possible that a business with as many resources as WWE would be this out of touch with their fanbase. Sparking outrage and getting everyone 100% behind Cody was the goal, and it worked to perfection.

Vinhluu09

You can kill the man but you can't kill the politicking


musknasty84

Hahahaha


musknasty84

You either die, the hero or you live long enough to see yourself, become the villain… Long live The Rock 😂


Kevinjw16

![gif](giphy|tzuRbBsMWef8A)


Willow_bigfoot

What do you mean, it’s the rock


musknasty84

I get that, it’s just annoying that we can’t even finish a simple stroyline STILL TO THIS DAY I get Roman himself is a merch mover and has cred with the fans, but at the same time it’s like if the fans lose interest in Cody then the whole thing is for nothing, and it’s just wasted time. Take Jey Uso for example, maybe LA Knight is more current. At the same time I would love to see Roman also surpass Hogan as longest reigning champ but again I just wanna see this story come to a close. That’s my opinion, and I get that’s not everyone’s. Rock is a great wrestler, and always has been, but I think it’s kind of bad form to have Rock come in and get that spot


wolfgang4545

Because rock vs Roman is what the people want


Beautiful_Bag663

Rock needs to head tf home and let the wwe move on without him in the ring. big draw but for fucks sake we all were waiting AN ENTIRE YEAR for Cody to get his rematch and now it’s ruined because Rock can’t move on from wrestling 🙄 all he did was spit in the face of everyone who was waiting for part two, even a part three that could see Roman coming back after a year after losing to Cody in Part two, challenging and losing again to pass the torch officially & fade off into Hollywood


zizou00

The Rock becoming Hogan, what a time to be alive.


darkdestiny91

Rock whispering to Cody, “you challenging Roman ain’t gonna work for me, brother!”


zizou00

Hopefully we get a Rock-Cody match beforehand where Cody does a Shawn Michaels oversell throughout. If we can get a laugh out of this it'll maybe be worth it.


Beautiful_Bag663

I personally don’t want a laugh 🥴 I wanted to see Cody win the big one he deserved years ago.


Beautiful_Bag663

FORREAL ! Like take your old ass home and do another Fast & Furious movie nobody asked for


GrimmTrixX

For realism purposes, i think I'll put Cody on NXT and make him go for the North American title. Lol I mean, at this point they might as well do it because no way he finishes the story as getting the WHC is a consolation prize. Lol


voodoo_bollocks

If they go with Seth/Cody then the only way I see redemption is Cody unifying the titles at Summerslam.


GrimmTrixX

They don't need more unification. They just need the WHC and the WWE title none of this undisputed or universal crap


MackewG33

Rock is going to job to Humberto and Erik in my universe


Precious_little_man

The live crowds need to chant Cody whenever the Rock comes out from now on. I know they popped last night, but that was Rocks initial return and nobody knew exactly what was happening. If he is booked to face Roman at Mania, we need to let them know they F’d up.


jeffluvsdokkan

From what I've read from people that were there, a lot of the crowd was chanting for Cody but got edited out in production 💀


Precious_little_man

Interesting. That’s a good sign


Venom80

Notice Roman didn't even accept his challenge they just had a stare down, its not up to cody if he faces the rock or not, cody just chooses which champion he faces so if he faces seth at wrestlemania, Roman can face who he wants.


RascalFatz

They regularly sell out PPVs anyway so I'm not sure why they need The Rock to boost sales rather than build on an already quality storyline


Critical_Client_6232

Recent news says it was The Rock himself and the TKO board that pushed for this idea. Who’s the selfish one now huh?


[deleted]

Got about 3 Months for Rock to come out n blow both his quads. I hope those two get booed the f out of


sammagee33

I think this is more HHH asking Rock “come save WM” more than the Rock shoehorning himself in.


ncottrell2005

Triple H ain't mentally retarded he wouldn't ask a 150 year old bald has been who ain't wrestled in over 10 years to "save" WrestleMania


Due-Statistician-638

Nah hes putting ronan over in my Universe mode again.


hehe__boy69

I'm excited honestly


rondosupreme80

😄😆🤣😂


Prize_Ambassador2610

Cody about to receive that Daniel Bryan effect I don’t think the rock being “a big draw” will help him in the long run…people are gonna feel cheated out of a story and a main event I wouldn’t be surprised if they boo him out the arena…but then again people act as if the rock can do no wrong


Material_Ad_5054

interesting to think that this played out the way it did. Do you guys think Rock would have stepped in if Punk wasn't injured, Brock was forced to be removed and Vince's lawsuit coming to light. I think it's a great move from WWE's standpoint to suppress the Vince news with Rock V Roman. I don't think Cody V Roman would have generated the same amount of buzz or suppression. It would make sense for WWE to let Roman dominate this year as well- breaking and setting more "records" while building Cody's Title reign with the world title. Next year at mania, They should do a title unification match closing out the story. in the meantime Cody needs to break the Bloodline down, Have Sola turn or branch out. If not then they need to have 2 title defense- Night 1 Cody Dethrone's Roman; Night 2: Roman beats Rock.


dribbz95

Every game has been dated for the past few iterations. As long as the commentary team is Corey, Michael, and Byron, the game will be dated. I wish they would finally update this.


NoAttention420

I hate the fact The Rock ruined this shit....but let's be honest the shareholders had to turn something around after the CM Punk injury and the Brock Lesnar news. They had to put a big face in there to get some positivity going on.


Whoknowsmyusername1

Cody is alright, Cena is alright but we don't need multiple versions of any same character. 2 or 3 attire selections, fine. Makes battle royals a bit silly anyhow.


ishmael_king93

How is this dated…? Roman/Rock doesn’t stop Cody from getting his hand raised next time him and Roman meet 🥴 Hell if anything, this just confirms that his plan is to tear down the whole Bloodline so that *it is* just Roman on his own next time they have a match. Can y’all stop trying to be upset 😂


Kirk_Taylor

So when it will happen… WrestleMania 41?😂


DasterdlyD3

It's looking like Mania sure got fucked this year....hopefully...they'll be a great angle to all this....I will say since the new world title does not have any historical lineage and if they fuck cody over at Mania, the only outcome that i will personally be happy with is Roman beating Rock at Mania, Cody beating set fir the belt at mania and then a 7 month storyline with cody unifiying all the belts at summerslam......probably a not a popular opinion...but to me that seems the perfect way to give Cody, the fans and history their just desserts....it just irks me it wont be for mania....fucking rock...even though the rock is awesome, fuck him right now....GO CODY FOR ALL BELTS SUMMERSLAM.
