His matches with Rollins were outstanding because Seth is one of the best in ring performers in WWE

 

Rollins is excellent. Cody is very good worker as well. He gets the psychology and he knows how to put a match together.

I think they did the right thing. Zayn has gotten over with the Bloodline angle and turn but they've been building to Cody-Reigns at this year's Mania since Cody arrived. 

 

I've enjoyed Sami's resurgence over the last year but putting the belts on him wouldn't have made any sense long term. With that said, Cody has been pretty much flawless since he came back. His matches with Rollins last year were outstanding and his promo work with Paul E and Sami have been very good, as well. 

 

Sami is a feel good story but having Cody beat Roman is the correct play, IMO.

I will be surprised if Sami and KO do not get the tag belts, for a short term.

I think HHH is playing the Zayn-Rhodes-KO-Uso's and RR perfectly.

The shows have been good.  Last weeks PPV was very good.  The WWE is in better shape story line well without Vince controlling things.

John Cena returned last night and is set for WM working with Austin Theory.

Cena, as usual cut a great spot with Theory.

 

Trish Stratus also returns and will team with Lita and Becky Lynch working with Bayley, Dakota Kay and Iyo Sky.

BTW Trish still looks great.

Yawn. Cena loses, again. Does Theory really need Cena to put him over? Isn’t he already over like rover?

Cena hasn’t won a PPV match since 2017. Unless you count the Saudi show he beat HHH, which I don’t.

That is his role now, and yea I think Theory is helped by Cena.

Yeah, but its tired. Theory is going to win, and everyone knows it, so does it help?

The next couple weeks, the build to the match can help. Plus, for as good as Theory's work is at a young age, it can't hurt being in the ring with Cena. He certainly can pick up a few things.

Cena still creates a buzz.  WM is about big names and Cena is still a big name.  I think it helps the lukewarm fan recognize Theory.

 

I have been to 6 WM's and the "legends" sell.  You can see it in the build up and you can see it in the merch sales and in the appearances at the podiums.  Cena is the king maker now.  Yea he is very likely to lose, but it is his role now.

Theory got schooled on the mic by Cena on Monday.  It reminded me of the one he did with Reigns some years back.  Reigns learned and got better, maybe Theory does too.

It never hurts to bring back a star and "made man" like Cena. They may be able to do something very similar to the Cena-Rock program from 10 years ago or so. Perhaps not exactly the same but maybe Cena can do some shots throughout the year and have the feud with Theory go beyond Mania. They need to do what they can to push Theory and get him away from that whole "he's Vince's boy" thing because he can work and can definitely be in the world title picture. I would be all about a Cody-Austin Theory program down the road. 

 

Out of curiosity, which WMs have you been to? I went to XV in Philly to see Austin and Rock. It was pretty friggin incredible.

Atlanta, NY, Dallas, Orlando, New Orleans and Miami.  Not in the right Order.

 

My son is a huge fan, and I went grudgingly to the first one, but they are a lot of fun and entertaining.

 

My favorite location, New Orleans and Atlanta.  My least favorite Dallas, and because of logistics and cost NY.
