I read this morning in the WSJ he's now being investigated by federal prosecutors, looks like others have come forward - get ready, it's all about to hit the fan even more now.

I'm assuming Johnny Ace is just trying to save his marriage with the Bellas' mom at this point...

stanmarsh · 02-02-2024, 09:56 AM

Looks to be the end of WWE as we know it. Hopefully the rumors about Trish are false.

LOL the WWE is not going to end. Cancel culture will make a big deal about this for short time and move on to their next thing. Heck Vince is not invovled in nor owns the WWE anymore.

mnvikingstwins · 02-02-2024, 10:14 AM

Tiffany, Bron, Trick, Melo all supposed to be at Smackdown tonight

What rumors? Any links from reliable sources? Not seeing anything on twitter.

WWE won't end because Vince is out and the new management group will just clean house of anyone connected. Had Vince not sold yet then we'd be looking at some real issues.

Correct for a guy that is not part of the company this is pretty much no bid deal with the WWE itself. Now Vince he could lose millions personally in any lawsuits he faces and his rep for years now has been dog poo so it's not like people can think much worse of him.

Kingofkings1281 · 02-02-2024, 06:37 PM

Rock is confirmed for Smackdown. I’m hyped.

Jericho · 02-02-2024, 09:19 PM

I would have waited to do anything with Tiffany until after WM but hopefully she does well on SD. Charlotte/Tiffany is a huge future match, but definitely one I'd save for a Mania.

Lashley gets stuck with B-Fab? Who did Lashley piss off? He should be on RAW as an opponent for Rollins,

thenightman · 02-02-2024, 10:15 PM

So Cody is facing Rollins and the Rock is facing Reigns. That exchange between Rock and Rhodes and the fact that Rock is on the board...Cody is getting that damn title.

ThatGuyPal · 02-02-2024, 11:07 PM

Whenever there is Vince drama they have a great show so people forget/it overshadows it, but they really went all "Break in case of emergency" this time lol too bad it never happens under better circumstances.

JustinVerlander07 · 02-03-2024, 12:11 AM

REALLY disappointed.

Just feels like they're killing Cody. Sure he'll beat Seth, but it doesn't feel the same.

It actually hurts what would be my excitement of having Rock back.

Cody's promo was excellent too, which makes it worse.

mtr · 02-03-2024, 02:19 AM

I get that Roman/Rock is the big money match but if this was the plan then why have Cody win the Rumble? He really comes off looking weak by stepping aside for the Rock. I guess we’ll see what the plan is for Cody over the next few weeks but I’m very skeptical that WWE can find a way to make his decision make sense.

PLB9eight · 02-03-2024, 09:43 AM

Was excited to see Rock vs Roman unfold but not like this. Cody deserves much much better.

Probably because this wasn't the plan and they had to call an audible because Punk got hurt.

packman80 · 02-03-2024, 10:31 AM

So Cody pretty much wrestling for the 2nd place trophy now. He might as well lose to Rollins now. I won't consider beating Rollins for his title finishing the story instead just piss poor booking and giving him a title to try to make the fans happy.

I hope Cody losses at this point. Him winning does nothing for him. Have him lose and turn heel saying screw him trying to win for the fans and his dad. Him beating Seth is just a pitty thing at this point. Everyone wanted him to beat Roman I don't think anyone is going to care for him beating Seth 3 or 4 times in a row plus that does nothing for Rollins if he keeps losing to Cody all the time. This won't even be a main event anyways IMO. I think Bayley and Sky will main event night one.

thenightman · 02-03-2024, 10:43 AM

Here’s what I predict. Seth can’t go, so they hold an EC match for the vacant title and Drew wins. Then we get Drew v Cody at WM and Cody wins. Raw after WM, Drew claymores Cody, Priest cashes in and wins, and we get Cody v Drew v Priest over the Summer.

stanmarsh · 02-03-2024, 10:47 AM

Will Brock Lesner ever be inducted into the HOF?
So will Rock vs Roman be at EC or WM?

That happens might as well future endevor Cody because his carer in the WWE is over you bury him like that fans are done with him for good.

They won't waste Rock and Roman at EC even more so when it's not even in the USA.

I think the Saudi’s will disagree with this statement…

EC is in Australia so I don't think the Saudi's are gonna have much say.

Jericho · 02-03-2024, 12:50 PM

They've pretty much screwed Cody up for good now. At this point I wouldnt even want to wrestle at Mania if I was Cody. Why would he want to go for Seth? Thats clearly not the title he wants. Plus we've seen Seth vs Cody numerous times in the past, and I believe Cody won every one. You could tell Cody didnt look overly happy when he was shaking hands with Rock. So last year Cody "wasn't ready and hadn't been through enough", so we spent the entire last year building things back up for Cody to win this time, he wins the Rumble and points up at Roman and the crowd was behind him, and now he steps aside for The Rock? Awful awful booking. So we get part time champion Roman vs Only there once every 5+ years Rock at Mania? I hope the crowd boos both of them and chants "We Want Cody" throughout the entire match. Plus its a lose lose no matter what, if Rock wins it makes the entire lockerrom look bad, if Roman wins this terrible reign continues until when? SummerSlam? This thing has been dead for the last year plus.

Might as well let Bayley main event Night one at this point.
