Bring back the 30 day rule for championships - the champion has to defend at least once a month or risk being stripped. That idea always used to make things interesting to me since wrestlers couldn't just constantly run or refuse title defenses.

Rampage went mostly as expected save for Cody beating Sammy (?!?!)

I know Sammy's reign wasn't lighting the world on fire but 3-time champ Cody was the last thing I expected

I thought to myself “eh, not like any of the Rampage results are in question, might as well click the spoiler thread just to get a vibe check on how good the matches were” and then Cody Rhodes made a fool of me

So uh, how were the matches

Awesome, Stat vs Leyla was a little clumsy but editing will fix it. Rampage maybe was more fun than Dynamite I was literally unhinged when Cody got that pinfall throwing my sign up, everyone around me was pissed like 25 people left immediately.

Tony made Cody vs Hook official for the next Greensboro show so that’s hype

God having to wait until SATURDAY instead of Friday to see the meltdowns is going to kill me. :negative:

Also the best part about fuckin' Cody getting the title again? After the show went off the air he got a microphone, looked down at his foot, wiggled it around, and said something like 'y'know, something about that match just now...it makes my heel hurt...'

Motherfucker is working us so goddamn hard.

not as loud as you might think, the crowd popped somewhat for the title change and I'd say about a quarter of the audience was already on his side

i was kind of feeling like they needed to eject on the sammy title reign since it's been a bit of a dud (not his fault, he just hasn't had an interesting lineup of opponents/feuds) but this is like... the weirdest possible way to do it lol

hopefully cody gets to put a face over with another title change at battle of the belts or something

My section was booing the gently caress out of him.

There were two little kids sitting near me that did NOT like Cody and kept doing their own 'Cody sucks' chants during the match. It was adorable. :3:

I don't really get people being shocked by Cody winning, he's very clearly on a "I've done nothing wrong here" heel turn plan and winning the title in what he in character can present as something that should be a big feel good moment but everyone hates fits that

drat I really thought Sammy's reign had more in it. Like, he could have had one more title defence main eventing on Dynamite ya know?

I get why they've put the belt on Cody though, there's some high calibre trolling ahead that I'm looking forward to.

i wanted him to beat cody and lose to ethan page tbh.

i also want this to be a setup for somebody to smoosh cody into the ground, but, well. that is not faith i can really get behind.

how was it even a "dud," they could have just let him keep it and have more matches. Dude is legit one of the better workers in the company so it's kind of bizarre to sacrifice him on the altar for this Cody heat

It’s the fourth shortest reign after Cody’s second TNT reign of 31 days, Brodie Lee’s TNT reign of 55 days and FTR’s Tag reign of 63 days.

Shortest was Cody's second at 32 days. Sammy's was also longer than Brodie's.

Have Malakai circle back to Cody, then have Miro circle back to the TNT title, so we can get a war of Heaven vs Hell over the belt.
