Goes to show how great all parts involved were. People didn't even start chanting for Sami (he will get his pop, of course), they just want Roman's head.

That was a fucking great match

Why doesn't Otis just slam Gable, causing him to win by DQ?

Roman had people throwing 1s in the air for YEARS despite being a massive asshole, and now they are chanting he sucks and are in Cody's favor lol Also, hot opening segment. Dom sucks ass. He cannot emote!!

Yeah, people won't turn on him lol

He is super fucking over lol

Starting up witha Cody promo package! yes!!

Hope he comes to the ring already crying.

The match was pretty competitive, actually. He hurt himself with an Asai Moonsault to the outside, hitting his head. Then KO just started powerbombing him until the doctor stoppage.

The Rock wore Versace shirts all the time, tho. He was far from plain, even when his primary attire colors were black. And even during the Attitude Era, we still got colorful stuff. DX wore green attires all the time, we had 2 Cool who wore Zubaz-like gear, the Radicalz all had some color in their gear, Kane was the BIG RED MONSTER... I think the lighting also helps - in my mind, things were brighter then than they are right now.

Rollins' carreer turnaround started to take place when he began using RIDICULOUS flamboyant clothes. It's not a coincidence! Wrestling is colorful!

If we look closely at Sami's journey in WWE, he was done dirtier than Bryan. When he was, in fact, the NXT top babyface, he kayfabe struggled to the point where he had to snuck in a Generico reference just to get a title shot and after YEARS of chasing it, won and was instantly double-crossed by Owens. Kevin then proceeded to beat him by REFEREE STOPPAGE. He had zero title defenses and only had one shot at the belt four months later. Poor guy.

I would call that the Cesaro Syndrome.

Sami losing at EC, winning the tag belts with KO at WM night 1 and helping Cody beat Roman at night 2, setting up a rematch where he beats Roman could work, too.

Not quite, bubba. Remarks about Sami's physical appearance aside, what he said about Sami does apply to Cody. It's not about being the central piece of the Narrative of ongoing storylines. Networks want their Lesnars and Rouseys, even when are not exactly the most prevalent faces on TV. Mick Foley was a top babyface in WWE, but the faces of the company were The Rock and Austin, no questions about it. Sami is very similar to Foley not only in card position, but as someone who can evoke sympathy with those puppy eyes. Cody *could* get there, but he is not the top guy. Same goes for Gunther. He is at worst the #2 heel on the company right now but he is not the #2 guy.

Bubbas, this post-match segment might have been the best fucking thing WWE has ever done. Not even joking.

Jesus fucking Christ what is KO doing CTE city

Nope. Not yet, at least. They are buying it for the names bubba Dav'Oh listed: Lesnar, Roman, Charlotte, Ronda, and I'd add Becky. Codester is in the same situation as Sami, at least in this moment: top babyface, but not face of the company. One you could put on top of the card, but not necessarily THE spokesperson for WWE.

MAIN EVENT BAYBEE Big fight feel, as it always is the case with Roman Reigns.

The Women's Rumble was not that great, but Rhea looked like the god damn Terminator out there. That final stretch was really fucking good, bubbas. Liv and Asuka were great!

Nia's return not following the countdown feels almost too good to be accidental.

Lacey almost killing poor Zelina. Horrible.

Lacey Evans is such a weird person

BIG BEEFY WOMEN BUMPING MEAT

She should just make that her gimmick. Looked fucking awesome emulating all those moves.
