Ilja Dragunov def Cara Noir - Spike Trivet padlocked Cara by his neck to the top rope and battered him with a chair and left with his mask

The 0121 won the tag team gauntlet to win tag titles

Gisele Shaw def Alex Windsor to retain women's title

Jonathan Gresham def Warren Banks to retain progress world title, Warren won a false finish due to foot under ropes... Lykos Gym came to celebrate with him but when match restarted turned on him to align with Gresham.

Have they even hinted it's Cody in this Rollins story? I know Edge dropped a few before they shifted to AJ but surely the Punk thing proves you do bigger business by making it clear what the 'surprise' is ahead of time?

I genuinely think the best way to handle Cody in WWE would be to just go over the top Corporate Sellout, including a dumb name change. Give him a good authority-adjacent heel run, have fun with him bigging up WWE and Vince despite all the history, eventually take the layup face turn where he goes back to being Cody

Yeah I think a big part of Cody going to WWE is cause he wants to be a face and do Make-a-Wish stuff and other community outreach things. So don't think he'll want to be a heel for that.

He was already doing that in AEW, because even though adults booed the poo poo out of him little kids just love wrestlers.

Literally exactly like Cena.

Yeah, it's something he really cares about so don't think he'll want to come in as a heel and have kids boo him.

If he’d turned heel he still wouldn’t have been worth a main event salary

I've been involved in a number of cults, both as a leader and a follower.

You have more fun as a follower. But you make more money as a leader.



Venomous posted:

Well when WWE has been pushing the Wish equivalent of The Rock for the past 7 years it makes sense to give Cena a go. They just didn’t need to before because they were able to get him to come back every year.

it didn't need to be reported, cody has been self-tattling for months now. find your favorite podcast/interview from the past 6-8 months where he said he will never ever turn heel in his career, that it would "ruin" his ability to do community/charity stuff, and he never wants his daughter to see him on tv as a villain

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

bank on it - they're going to do the fake out of having Shane answer but have Cody be the REAL answer after the crowd gets restless with We Want Cody chants

You make up things in your mind to justify unhinged hatred for people you will never know. I hate Adam Cole but I at least I admit it's on me and I just find him lame and annoying. Find god.

cody left aew because tony wouldn't pay him enough, and also independently of that refused to turn heel because he's a big ol baby

Cody left AEW because he wanted to turn heel but Tony wouldn't let him and Cody got sick of having to do interviews pretending he didn't want to turn heel.

Cody wanted more money but refused to turn heel so there was nothing justifying him making that kind of money. Creatively he was at a dead end without turning heel.

cody already turned heel, it's just that his heel character was being cena and acting like he'd never actually turn heel b/c he loves everyone too much
