. Guy in the front row screaming (REPEATEDLY) "Thank you Seth" at Rollins during the chamber match while he was bang centre of the frame (next to Ray Romano).

This CUNT was desperate to be a "meme" or whatever, forever putting his hands to his head, and doing a shocked face whenever he could.

God I hate wrestling fans.

Rock was so fantastically full of shit in the post-show press conference, saying everything at Bad Blood and the Netflix debut was leading to this. They think in terms of the long game, you know? It was all pre-planned, with tonight in mind.

As if, Dwayne! Chinny reckon! “Yeah, spent months shitting the bed, knowing we’d turn it around.”

Fair play though. I’ve had a lot of people messaging me about this. They’ve hit a home run.

I can’t decide what I need to see more. A heavy, dark heat angle, where Cena murders R-Truth? Or does he just send shitty, patronising updates from movie sets, too busy and important to be there live?

The hand signal that he did at bad blood seemed to be Cena's old taunt in fairness

In fairness Rock had this all planned from when they first feuded in 2011. It's been about 15 years of lore, so fair play to The Rock.

I watched the main this morning and when Cena won I got so pissed off with the choice and having a Cena main event again.......

Genuinely thought this was going to end with him saying he threw his remote through the TV and outing himself as Foley.

especially the women's that felt like it lasted months.

But then he said this and made me reconsider.

Can’t believe we missed THE CLUES that were definitely there all along.

But are they BROTHERS VIA BLOOD OATH?

I thought that was pretty good overall, I managed to avoid any spoilers before watching.

- Jade looked incredible, I always liked her in AEW and hope she can gain some momentum from this.

- I thought the Women's Chamber match was good, I thought it could go either way with Liv and Bianca but I'm glad Bianca won.

I skimmed through the tag match, nothing special.

- I did like Owens/Zayn but felt like the quiet crowd and lack of blood didn't live up to expectations.

- Men's chamber was alright, I did like the Cena/Punk face-off.

- As soon as I saw Cena stay in the ring I thought we might get a Cena heel turn but I didn't really believe it would happen until it actually did. I think if I didn't see any of the speculation here before the show it might have been a bigger shock but either way it was still shocking.

I can't stand The Rock but I'm looking forward to Cena/Rhodes at Mania, I think the build-up to the match over the next 7 weeks could have lots of potential for some stand-out moments.

Oh...and I forgot to mention, that slap from Travis Scott looked pretty stiff!

Looks like it's going to leave a bruise:

Incredible heel turn. Never thought I'd see anything of this magnitude in the internet era. Bravo to WWE for pulling off such a fantastic twist. They always seem to smash home runs for every Mania.

Including this one, the last few Mania's have certainly helped wash out the bad taste left from some of the one's we got in the years before hand. Not all their fault admittedly but that 2022 Main Event was such a damp squib of a choice. 

[LaGoosh]

Still can't get over this:

Why did he rub his fingers on his face like that? Absolute fucking weirdo.

Be interesting to see the reactions Cena gets going forwards. I'd be a bit surprised if he can actually garner genuine heel heat but I really hope he does. I have a feeling he's going to get massive cheers throughout though. Fans are so excited to see him as a bad guy that they'll treat him as a babyface.

The conspiracy nutters are going overdrive about this show. Apparently Naomi attacking surprised at Jade attacking her means there’s more to it. Umm, probably wasn’t expecting Jade to know it was her? Doesn’t have to be nuanced, mate. Plus the three fingers Rock seems to hold up is forcing people to guess there’s a huge “third man” reveal coming. Travis is the third man, he was right there. Done.

They went to war. Blood of the covenant is thicker than water in the womb.

LOL. Before last year, if you exclude the odd “Stone Cold wrestled” in isolation, they’ve been up there with The Simpsons for more bad “seasons” than good.

Because I have issues, I've spent much of last night and this morning thinking about what their game might be here.

Because, playing a VT about how loads of wrestlers have had their acting careers made by The Rock is kind of weird. Like, I sort of get it as a bit of a bait to Cody to turn... but what if it was a bit of foreshadowing?

It could be quite fun if it turns out Cena 'sold his soul' years ago to Rock in return for Hollywood, and has been a sort of sleeper agent waiting for Rock to activate him if needed.

It could also open up all those other names from the VT having a cameo as part of Rock's undercover heel army to get them through the weeks of TV where Rock/Cena aren't around. 

I guess it's also how you eventually reheat Rock/Roman; when Roman refuses to be activated.

Dunno. I just think it could be quite fun, and also offers you an easy way out for Cena in a few months when he decides that actually he's too big a name to be under The Rock's thumb in perpetuity.

Cena on the truck. What do trucks have? Wheels. What do you wheels do? Turn!

Wake up.

I thought about that segment as well. The Cena turn is basically 2025's equivalent of that segment isn't it? Where you just think... if all else fails, they can turn lakes of lemons into the occasional shot of lemonade.
