“Dwayne pushed super hard for it. Read last week’s issue and this week’s. The card changed when Punk & Brock were out and all the dominoes fell. Dwayne already wanted it and they felt they now needed it as well. Felt this was better to change the news flow away from Vince.
Cody was the plan. Dwayne was going to face him later, maybe next year’s Mania, maybe Saudi. Shit happens with Vince and Punk, the Vince thing ends up worse than they thought and they changed the plan. I literally didn’t know until yesterday that it could change and then I was told it’s under lock. But 100% it was Punk vs. Seth and Cody vs. Reigns until Punk got hurt.”
Appointed to the board one week, top of the company the next, the WWE way lmao.
Hmmm… where have I heard this one before… oh yeah, when he tried to strong-arm control of DC and WB showed his ass the door… unfortunately TKO-WWE won’t do that, they gave him the “kingdom” so to speak.
Then he went through all those PR good guy moves, only to end up here. I’m starting to think Vinn Diesel might not have been the problem on the Fast & Furious set.
Now they’ll have Paul Heyman try and carry this shit for 2 months to Mania because those part-timers won’t work every week… I’ll be surprised if Rock works more than two times before Mania.
God, Black Adam was shit lol.
The balance of power in the WWE Universe is about to change.
Great point. That drama didn’t even cross my mind.
I jokingly said that he could take a McMahon like position where he was both an exec and performer, buti thought he was too busy to actually do it
