The Rock Inserts himself into Main Event of Wrestlemania

[yieldtonothing]

are any of the old school fans gonna come back to see the rock beat his jabroni cousin for the title?

[helpmee]

I wonder if this was a favor for Vince / the WWE or if it was planned a long time ago

[BraddlesMcGee]

I'm not familiar with wrestling. Who is this Main Event guy? Is he a good wrestler? Tight angus?

nobody really knows, but it reeks of rock making a power play like he tried to make with dc, but he isnt gonna face that kind of resistance in his house(wwe). timing def only helped his case in this situation.

roman reigns. he's the rock's cousin, been the champ for like 4 years. part of that samoan dynasty. his dad was one of the wild samoans

[dabbmw2002]

It's gonna be boring. It would have been much better if roman had lost it the royal rumble. They could have had a finish where he wasn't pinned but los the belt which would give them plot lines for the next three months unti Wrestlemania. Instead we get the same old boring chit and now a fossil from the past

I thought the WWE was for children?

Watching Cody lose his smile for real like HBK did was hilarious

[LethalGunz34]

The Rock never had the makings of a varsity athlete.

[FatLoserNerd]

After Undertaker vs. Mankind Hell in a Cell it's like why bother? Nothing is going to top that.

[redwine91]

Lmfao at everybody freaking out online. BUT CODY!!!

Stfu. The Rock is a goddamn mega star. This is a WrestleMania caliber match.

You beat the Rock at Mania. He’s done; retired. Reigns is indestructible. You build up another year of him with the belt (yes phaggots, another year. Quit being pussies. Rhodes gets his shot and finally topples Reigns.)

People love being herd mentality losers. A win a year from now over Reigns who has literally destroyed everybody, including the Rock and breaking title reign records will put Cody in a better position long term than a win at WM 40.

Lol at nerd fans thinking they know better than the WWE. It will all be better off this way in the end and I’m dead fkn srs.

Good, nobody wants to see Cody main-eventing WM, other than the Meltzer marks.

This is actually what I thought was going to happen. Orton pins Styles at the Rumble. Figured that was the whole point to making the match a fatal 4-way. Don't know who would've faced Orton at Mania though....Knight? Theory? Lashley? Solo?

[Harry362]

Would only watch if Vinnie Mac shows up for a scat match

[Dave22reborn]

The Rock is 51 years old.....

Last time he wrestled he suffered a triple hernia.

[Aameiel]

He recent got a new job at WWE on the board of directors. not shocked. I don't follow it like I used to I just hope he gets the strap and who ever has MITB if thats still a thing cashes in on him. Roman is boring and they need a new champ.

Ah sunuvabitch!

[DonVonDuck]

He should bring back his Hollywood Rock schtick and theme srs

Agreed. Rock's heel run in early '03 was some of his best work, in my opinion. Hogan rematch at No Way Out, Austin at Wrestlemania, Goldberg at Backlash and a mini-feud with the Hurricane. It was a great little run. I loved it.

Every match has to advance the plot and the result of the fatal four way did not advance any plot. There was hardly a peep in the crowd when Roman won. I would have put in on Knight. Orton has already been champ, and Knight is super over but the longer he goes without winning and with older legends showing up, it cools him off. Since he is 40 as well, you cant wait too long. He doesn't have to hold the belt for a year. It could be for months , but now you generate interest in a new champion, and give Roman a revenge tour on the build up to Wrestlemania, and further the tension bewteen him and Aldis who he will blame since he made it a fourway.

The Rock looks old af. It wouldn't make sense for him to beat roman. Remember when Rock beat Hogan at Wrestlemania? It was a passing of the torch. So no way the Rock wins and now we have another predictable result for Wrestlemania. What made the 90s in early 2000s WWEe so fun was it was unpredictable and anything could happen.

He’s a giant pussy, lol.

Yeah, Orton's return really has killed Knight's momentum. I figured Orton would be the safe bet heading in to Mania though. From a storyline perspective, it would've made sense to have Orton pin Styles (maybe after Knight gets screwed out of a victory by the Bloodline), have Jimmy Uso win the Rumble and challenge Orton at Wrestlemania. Uso could take the belt after a dirty finish, Roman demands he hand it over, Jimmy refuses, thus creating tension within the Bloodline's ranks. This would lay the foundation for LA Knight to capitalize on the group's lack of cohesion and eventually take the belt off Jimmy Uso.

I would like to see Roman vs Aldis at some point. I like Nick Aldis as an authority figure, but would be cool to see him get an occasional high-profile match.
