WWE Discussion thread- Raw/SD/PPV

Cena turning is great. It keeps things unpredictable. Honestly, it seems like people here are only upset because they didn't call it. People here want to act like they know exactly what is going to happen.

And, yes, there is plenty of time for Cena to turn back babyface before the end of the year and it still be believable.

@RicFlairNatrBoy

It’s Been 25 Years Since I Won My Last, 16th World Championship. Let’s Get Serious! @JohnCena I Love You And Respect You, But You Ain’t Taking Nothing From @CodyRhodes! If I Have To Fight My Way Through Security To Hit The Ring, I Will. I’ll Take The Day Off Of Blood Thinners. LFG! Let’s Do This!

[ThatGuyPal]

Flair been preparing for this, it wasn't until Cena won like his 10th and it seemed possible that I started hearing all this "16 OFFICIAL, much more in reality" rhetoric. Even if Cena does win Flair will pull a Hogan and rewrite history that he still has more lol

When the Rock came back...they reported it was very last minute and changes had to be made, and that nobody knew if he would be around for WM or not and that plans had been set for Cody/Cena and a triple threat with Seth/Roman/Punk for months..

Well..we are still getting those matches..maybe a change to the 3man, but don't know where else Roman fits since Seth took him out...unless they shift to just Seth/Roman and Punk/Paul

And there were cuts that had to be made to the SD he showed up at..

So what exactly are they so hahaha ha their always sooo wrong...about? I don't get it

Were they also wrong after RR with Drew being pissed at LA Knight (rightfully or not) that led to a promo where LA referenced everything? Or was that just..coincidence and them "working the dirt sheets" too..

Eric Bischoff has an obsession with the dirtsheets, I do not. I just find it humorous how often WWE is basically making fun of them lately for incorrect reporting (or potentially WWE feeding them lies).

There are good dirtsheets like fightful, then there is Meltzer.....

Also curious:

anyone still think this road to Wrestlemania is going to be the worst of all-time?

Also, again. Dirt sheets were wrong saying he wouldn't be around for Mania and his appearance at Bad Blood was going to lead to nothing.

Do you think it's possible that that he shifted and changed his plans after it was leaked that he wasn't going to be there? You know, like they shifted plans after the blowback before Mania last year?

Since we now have heel Cena will we get Goldberg come back to face Cena now for his final match?

[thenightman]

Maybe we've known all along who the third member is.

I'll be completely honest there isn't anyone on either roster I want to see Goldberg injure especially any top guys. I get they set up the match with Gunther or at least laid seeds for it. But IMO a better matchup would be someone who can take the physical mistakes by Goldberg like Jacob or Broson Reed.

For Goldberg's? No. Sometimes I can't tell if this board is kayfabe lol but he said he didn't want to essentially step on Cena's tour which has nothing to do with him being heel/face. People hate on Goldberg but I also feel he won't go the icon vs icon big match route, even if he wins I think he'll still somewhat put over a newer guy like Gunther.

So everyone knows that we're almost 100% guaranteed at this point to get a Cody / Snoop Dogg vs. Cena/Travis Scott match right?

Snoop I would bet anything gets involved at Mania and confronts Travis Scott.

Oh man just when I thought things couldnt get any worse...you go and say this!

Even after a few days I still think the Cena turn isn't great. As I said its 10 years too late. Much like they put the title on Cody a year too late just so Roman could pad his number of days as champion, which didnt matter.

Oh and can we all agree that Trish Stratus needs to stay far far away from any wrestling ring? She was clearly the worst wrestler of the night, I felt sorry for Nia and Candice having to carry her so much.

It's official - Rey Fenix has been released from AEW limbo captivity, is a free agent and expected to join WWE shortly, according to Fightful.

Lucha Bros reunite!

And again...you act like he didn't bring it on himself

I've seen two sides of this assertion.

And just like last time I asked...

If he had just kept his mouth shut...instead of doing interviews saying he was WWE bound and "bad mouthing" AEW/TK or going on a Twitter tirade about "supposed" medical issues...

Would he not have been gone same time as Penta?

Was TK petty in adding the injury time? Of course...
Was it warranted? Of course lol

I honestly don't see how far he goes on WWE as a singles guy..but tagging with anybody and he'll be a great fit, just hopefully not at the expense of his brother

[jmarascojr]

Topps Now is pimping a triple auto of The Rock, Cena and Travis Scott from Saturday night....

Rumor has it, it has already been pulled by a 97 year old Buddhist monk who also hit the Curry/Durant/LeBron triple...

The same Goldberg that buried the Fiend when he was near his peak?

Come on, that was the biggest hip toss jackhammer of all time!

[packman80]

Saw on X that on March 17th 2005 John Cena debut The Time Is Now theme. Next time on TV is March 17th 2025. Could we get another new theme 20 years later?

Get out your Peacock and type in WrestleMania 11.

[Anarchy99]

Gunther is very good, and an excellent heel. Coming on 2nd after CM Punk with this Otis thing and presumably being only segment says a lot about the state of the WWE World championship

[JustinVerlander07]

What an awful finish. They have Sky beat Rhea clean? Terrible. No way that doesn't turn into a triple threat.
