Paid Members air_raid Posted February 10 Paid Members Share Posted February 10 Random question : they’ve all cited needing to remove Lesnar as another reason that they shit the bed (on top of Punks injury) but have any of the gossip merchants actually suggested who he was planned to wrestle?

Otherwise the last week has been for naught. Imagine realising what the fans want and putting Cody out there at Mania just to beat him again. The good guy has to win eventually, surely? The path to eventual Reigns vs Rock doesn’t need the title. In fact it would be actively better without it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see Rock winning the title from Cody round about Survivor Series or Royal Rumble time, then facing a babyface Reigns at Mania 41. Given that this is the first Netflix Wrestlemania, I would imagine they’ll want to make the biggest matches feel enormous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donald J Trump Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 After the event the other night I wouldn't be surprised if Reigns and The Rock had a match for Seth's title while Rollins is made to stand like a gimp at ringside and watch. If it's not Rhodes at Wrestlemania then you have to ask who, and when? You wouldn't end a title run of this significance on a bum note and they'd be doing reigns a disservice if the home straight doesn't match the occasion. Unless they're playing the really long game, the only two options I can see short to medium term are Rhodes at Wrestlemania or The Rock. Reigns schedule works really well with the part time champion routine. Reigns showing up on an irregular basis would be more difficult without a title, but some involvement with The Rock after Wrestlemania would actually work. These are good problems to have, it's better to have a multitude of exciting possibilities rather than head into Wrestlemania season with no clear options on the horizon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jey Uso?  On 12/13/2023 at 2:08 PM, air_raid said: Maybe they should. I mentioned Cena earlier in the thread, if we want to go all the way with "this belt is prestigious again" then guys who can main event going after it simply because they haven't held it before, is a good way to go about it. Gunther loses nothing by going down swinging to Lesnar, the belt definitely loses nothing, and instead of thinking "Christ, who do we give THIS rub to" by ending the massive long run of Gunther, you get to give someone else the rub of beating Brock Lesnar for it. And Brock's business, he'll lose to anyone as long as you pay him. Equally though, they could have Lesnar get cheated by someone unpalatable like Austin Theory instead of making someone new. And then segue into the story I want, Cena going after the ICT to complete the set. …… “Fantasy booking is shit” apparently but I always like when the company ends up with the same ideas that we did. Unfortunately because Brock turned out to be a wrong’un Dev may get his wish of Gunther vs Uso, now that the Sun has Set on Gunther vs Lesnar. Heh.

Callum1993 Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 I think it’s likely they end up doing Jimmy vs Jey at Mania so could see Jimmy costing Jey the title against Gunther on a Raw between now and then. Maybe Sami against Gunther for Mania then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's some history to it, as it was rumoured for last year's Wrestlemania. The staredown in the Rumble seen as a tease for it. When it be became apparent it wasn't happening and getting Lesnar v. Omos instead. that was seen as a sign Vince was meddling in HHH's creative. May have been some politicking from Lesnar as well. As one of the reasons coming out was that Gunther needed some "seasoning". Circling back there a year later does give that idea some credence.

And if Sami isn't getting involved in anything Seth related then I think they could a lot worse than having him against Gunther. Sami has a decent history with the IC title too.
