This has been the one WWE storyline I've been interested in and kind of followed. It delivered.

I don’t know how they transition to Cody/Roman. The story’s logical conclusion is Sami/Roman at Mania. If Sami is pushed off to the side for Cody, the crowd is going to turn on Cody and chant for Sami. It’s the WM 30 build all over again.

Btw, Cody should’ve been a surprise entrant especially since they saved him for #30. Imagine that pop.

Oh boy....Elimination Chamber is in Montreal. Nuclear heat coming to Roman/Bloodline.

Might be heat like Austin in Calgary at Canadian Stampede.

This is really the only problem with this scenario. I guess we'll see what they come up with.

Sami/Jay get kicked out and win tag titles at mania over other bloodline Solo/Jimmy.

Cody steps in the break the bloodline and win completing his goal that his father gave him against Roman.

That’s off top of head lol.

Only thing I hate is Cody being pushed again to the top.

Apparently elimination chamber which is only like 3 weeks away is in Montreal, close to where both Sami and KO were born.

Best suggestion I've seen is Sami-Reigns at EC. Jey ultimately costs Sami the win, KO saves Sami from the post match beat down, they beat the Usos for the tag belts at Mania.

That almost seems to make too much sense though, we'll see what they do. :lol:

Yeah that’s not bad but I still think anything that doesn’t end with Sami beating Reigns for the title will get the Daniel Bryan treatment.

I’m also not too big on a Jey swerve which would return to business as usual for the bloodline. They risk getting into nWo territory where builds don’t matter and every story ends up with the gang together and on top.

Yeah, that is fair. I'm not sure there really is a perfect answer.

Cody obviously will be facing Reigns at Mania, and he will win, this has been clear since the moment they brought him back, right or wrong.

As recent as last week there were reports that Vince + HHH don't see Sami as someone who could main event Mania. Maybe that changes after the insane pop he got last night, maybe not.

Let's say for shits and giggles that they decide, ok... this is way hotter than we thought, we can't let this moment go by.

Zero chance Reigns loses a belt outside mania, so there's no way Sami is beating him at EC.

Do you do some kind of wacky triple threat match where each pinfall wins a belt?

Do you have Reigns wrestle both nights, one v Sami, one v Cody?

I can't see them letting Reigns lose twice in one weekend after going 900+ days without though.

Rumor is Sami/Reigns at Elimination Chamber, Cody/Reigns at Mania. I just hope Sami isn’t forgotten about. The story has been too good to write it off immediately.

Dude is a natural heel and very hateable. Problem is WWE is severely lacking in baby faces so we’re just going to pretend like he doesn’t come off as a ****** in promos.

It's already apparent it's the AEW scenario. He wants to be a babyface and seemingly doesn't understand why he isn't liked as much. Every promo seems to be a pretentious cody-fest.

Tried watching Raw and tapped out halfway through the Cody promo. Might tune into Mania but week to week WWE just isn't for me at this point.

I can’t watch live. I’ll scrub through on the dvr sometimes but mostly I just watch the highlights on Reddit. Same with AEW.

I watch AEW live every Wednesday. I actually enjoy it and look forward to that two hour block of tv. Rampage and other stuff I dvr and flip through.

WWE though...I dunno. Small doses is fine but their overall presentation and the way they do things just doesn't work for me.

The Rumble was the first time I had watched any show of theirs in its entirety in several years.

Nailed it. That's exactly what I was looking for.

They’re having a lot of production issues which is making for some awkward tv.

Also who the hell is that backstage interviewer?
