I think this was always the plan…it worked the fans and the wrestling media that got “leaks” from a company that does not leak (it’s an instantly fireable offense).The press conference was actually very entertaining..... What I take from it is either the whole thing was a work or WWE went into major scramble mode to right the ship....
Having the Rock turn heel was a good move... Instead of fighting the backlash, embrace and make it work... No issues there.
Having Cody say that the main event decision is his to make due to winning the Royal Rumble is again a solid move... Even in the world of Kayfabe you don't want to negate what winning the Royal Rumble means....
HHH posted that the Main is official now with Cody and Roman ( For now) so the WWE handled the damage control aspect well..
We still have plenty of time to add more wrinkles to this and I'm sure they will but overall they setup/saved the Roman - Cody main event and probably made it bigger even without the Rock being in the actual match.... As I said before.......More to come...
I could only say the Vince thing really put WWE in a bad light and they had to do something fast...I think this was always the plan…it worked the fans and the wrestling media that got “leaks” from a company that does not leak (it’s an instantly fireable offense).
i think Rhodes/Gunther at SSHappy with how some of night 1 played out. I'm ready for Main Event GUNTHER to take on Rollins/Mac winner next.
That makes sense... Having Gunther drop the IC belt obviously means a World Title run is coming... He deserves it and makes a formidable foe for Cody...i think Rhodes/Gunther at SS
For some reason I think the Rock turns on Roman and goes face.... There was a moment there where there was a awkward stare down by Rock and Roman... Just feels like the flip is gonna happen...BUNCHA JABRONIS REALLY THOUGHT THE ROCK WASN'T GONNA GET THE PIN TONIGHT AND PUT HIMSELF OVER NIGHT ONE
Lotta options with Gunther.... He's so good... You can throw him in anywhere and he'll make it work.... That IC run really made him a major player.... Gunther now the longest reigning IC champ ever and Roman being second longest reigning World Champ(I believe I'm right there , only Bruno is ahead of him) was part of WWE's plan to modernize the title picture....Happy with how some of night 1 played out. I'm ready for Main Event GUNTHER to take on Rollins/Mac winner next.
