While DJing and event, HH theme played before getting bood mercilessly and being cut off in seconds..with Henry grabbing the mic and yelling "F Hulk Hogan!"..

Sure he is a pos..but TECHNICALLY, you now work "with" him under WWE..

CM Punk went on TV and roasted him. Who cares what Mark Henry is saying?

[Jericho]

The Uso/Gunther thing is just getting worse and worse. Jey just questioning himself and doesnt know if he can do it....LOL The same storyline as Sami last yr, how original. What an awful decision to have Uso in this spot.

McAfee back on commentary was atrocious as always. As was the crowd with their annoying chants constantly.

Breakker and Penta had a good match. I assume we get another match between them at Mania? Possibly with others added as well.

Ripley is 100% getting added to that match. Guessing BelAir does something next week to cause a screwy finish.

The Cena heel turn has been bad IMO. Not surprised because its about 10 yrs too late.

Lyra and Bayley at Mania Im assuming? Since Bayley was looking at the title when she handed it back.

I took the Flair thing as a joke when he posted he would climb through the crowd and fight security to make sure Cena didn't win #17 but now that Cena name dropped him I have a bad feeling in the pit of my stomach that they actually have him involved in some way. I love Ric and cherish what he once was but someone needs to have the balls to tell him no more and refuse to put him on tv ever again.

awkward

was hoping this was all leading to the next "Bloodline esque" storyline/angle but for now it just seems like any ole Heel turn just happens to be Cena

The announcers did mention how Cena sold his soul to The Final Boss. As far as the promo this week I thought it was much better than last week. Not sure if last week they played it safe not knowing 100% how the crowd would react or what but Cena was much more prepared this week. We'll see how next week goes but for me at some point before WM we have to get some kind of physical altercation.

2 subtle hints I think were Cena acknowledging the crowds " What ? " chants and also name dropping Ric Flair. I'd be shocked if both don't have a part in the outcome of the match. I hated so many random people getting involved last year and looks like this year will be no different and maybe even worse.

Flair acts like he's on Cody's side just to low blow Cody to let Cena win and say if there is one player he is ok with breaking his record it's Cena.

While everyone was salivating over this I knew it wouldn't go over. I reeks of short term booking.

I'm on Cena's side on this. Win at Mania, take the belt and retire it with him. Get rid of the Universal championship and the jointly branded "Undisputed WWE Universal Championship" and return it to just the WWE Championship.

WWE will never go back to just having one champ. Means the one champ has to show up every week on both shows or you end up with a part time champ and the title is not showing up each week on both shows.

Cool. Not what I said, though. Cody holds two titles right now, the WWE Championship and WWE Universal Championship. I didn't say anything about Gunther's title.

[Anarchy99]

Cody or even Roman hasn't been referred to as Universal Champion in forever. Even on WWE website it just says Undisputed WWE Champ

Both titles are active. When Cody defends, he's defending both. Undisputed WWE Championship is the term used to refer to both the WWE Championship and the Universal Championship.

If people here want to say Cena was hinting at who else could be involved in the match, then him saying he's going to retire the belt should be taken as a hint that they are going to rebrand the SD belt(s). And no, that doesn't mean retiring right after WrestleMania.

[Cracktoast]

It's laughable to think Cena is winning the title and then retiring. And there is 0% chance if he does win that he holds it for 8 months either.

The most obvious thing that happens is Punk ends up in the match and wins. Heyman turns on Reigns night 1 allowing Punk to win then revealing he was able to get Punk into to Rhodes/Cena match also. Punk then turns on Cody joining Team Final Boss as Cena laughs that he fooled the fans again.

This would be the one factor that could bring Reigns/Rollins back together. In the end we find out Cena thought it was understood if he let Punk win that when the time came Punk would lay down and let him win and retire with the title . Team Boss beats him down thus we come full circle Cena turns back and retires as a babyface.

[jmarascojr]

If they are gonna have Flair involved in the Cena/Cody match, they better get him a front row seat or a golf cart, cause there's no way he's walking ALL the way down a WM ramp without having a heart attack...

[packman80]

I don’t know why people want to keep pushing punk needs to be night 2 man event. They don’t need 3 triple threat matches at WM. Just keep Cody vs Cena that’s big enough I think it’s silly to say the favor is getting into the main event. I think it would be better the favor is heyman turns on Roman helps punk win and then after WM Punk can then move onto Cena. Punk is getting to main event night one so but yet fans crying that does not count he needs to main event both nights. Cody and Cena happen with outside interference. Does punk maybe come down in that aspect and be part of the interference? That could happen so you could push Cena vs punk later. I think Punk vs Cena at SummerSlam would work and have Punk win the title then.

[jmarascojr]

Cena saying that when he wins the title he's gonna take it and leave gives me CM Punk in Chicago vibes from 10+ years ago...

Taking the ball and going home... But also planting the seeds for a Cena/Punk match...

[Jericho]

So how sad is it that Jey Uso has been so bad that they have made him botching part of the storyline now. Poor Gunther having to try and drag this man to watchable match. Good luck Gunther

They might have Jey botching the match at WM and then Jey becomes down on his luck Jey Uso like down on his luck Baron Corbin.

[JustinVerlander07]

The Jey haters are so cute. He's getting an underdog story. Can't wait for Mania, the hate from some of you will be fantastic.

Hopefully they plan and figure something out so that it will be a more entertaining match

[Jericho]

Jade and Charlotte with the staredown in the aisleway? That would have been a big time match, but since Jade lost to Liv, it takes a lot away from it.

[Jericho]

Tiffany is good in the ring, but I'll be happy when Charlotte takes the title at Mania. Charlotte always makes the title seem more important than any other woman does.

No, she doesn't.
