I laughed so hard when Steve realized his Jan. 6th joke. I totally thought he was doing a rib when he said it was going to be a memorable day, and then the realization hit his face 😂
Cody - Orton Nia - Tiffy Gunther - Punk Liv - Rhea because 7 months wasn't long enough for HHH to develop a single other person in the entire division. MCMG - Street Prophets. Finn and JD - New Day Jade and Bianca - The Lash Legend tag team whose name I can't remember. Bron - Shaemus Nakamura - Andrade (I think he's the face...or is Carmelo the face? The face of the two, lol) Mens Rumble: Punk Womens Rumble: Bianca. I think Tiffy will be champ by then. Rhea can earn her shot at elimination chamber. Bianca vs Tiffy at Mania sounds great to me. It could always be Charlotte Flair as well. Women's MITB: Chelsea Green (voting with my heart) Men's MITB: Jacob Fatu.
Shinsuke should come out with a Japanese title on Smackdown, primarily because it would look awesome, but if they want him to be a heel, that would be the perfect way for him to get heat.
Punk calls in his favor to Heyman and gets inserted to the wwe championship match at WrestleMania. Triple threat with rumble winner ROMAN REIGNS. Roman softens up Cody, Punk gets the pin. Punk does FULL HEEL
I want John to accomplish 2 things: 1. Gain the Intercontinental Title so he finally becomes a Grand Slam Champion. 2. Beat Rick Flairs record of holding a WWE World Title the most times in WWE. That's what I want out of his Retirement tour. Bron Vs. Cena at WrestleMania would be fun. Imagine the promos between those two guys! When it comes to Cody losing, K.O. definitely needs to win next weekend. I do like your hypothesis on Seth though. But that will require a Draft to happen or Seth winning the Royal Rumble, which hasn't(?) yet...right? I could see Seth and Punk in the final 2 again and Seth going over Punk, fighting Cody at Mania, then Punk and Seth feud for all of 2025 with Roman coming in somewhere there too either by SummerSlam or the next Saturday Night Mainevent.

I actually have thought about the Candice/Tiffany situation a bunch and my idea is a mix of your two ideas: Tiffany saves Candice from an attack (my idea was at Wargames but wherever works), Candice approaches Tiffany and tells her to pay her back she'll back her up in her cash in on Nia only for Candice to betray Tiffany at the last second and cost her the cash in, cementing a babyface turn for Tiffany
Heard some real good fantasy booking lately. From cultaholic theorizing, The Rock gave Cody the #30 royal rumble ball. To Otis being forced to watch Tozawa get beat to a pulp by the New Day Wrestling Podcasters on 🔥
I think it's because of how the reigns were built. When Gunther was IC Champ, he was incredibly dominant but his feuds were built in a way where he could feasibly lose. His matches against Seamus, McIntyre, even Chad Gable were done in a way where each of them could have realistically walked out the winner. So whilst he held the IC for so long, his reign was in genuine danger for a lot of it. Therefore the reign became more about who could rise up to beat and topple him and less about him as an actual champion - he became the goal rather than the focus. On the other hand, Cody hasn't been in any feuds so far where he could believably lose. Every defence he's had has had a clear and predictable outcome. More so, no one has really been built up as a credible threat to his championship. Kevin Owens is the closest thing to a credible contender but Owens doesn't actually WANT the championship. That's not what their feud is about, it's about betrayal. Unlike Gunther, Cody is the focus of all his stories, not his championship. He's even gotten himself involved in feuds where his championship isn't even in contention or relevant, like the Bloodline match at Bad Blood, and he still seemed like the unstoppable superhero. I also think unstoppable dominant champions work better as heels than they do faces. Your face should win a championship, hold it for a while, then drop it so they can chase after it again. A face chasing a title is usually more compelling than them holding it forever. So yeah... I think it's all about focus and presentation. Good question though.
WWE not doing copy and paste? guys, we got THREE special guest ref matches this year (Rollins for Punk VS McIntyre, Trick for Ethan Page VS Joe Hendry, then Punk for Ethan VS Trick) and NOW we're getting three whodunnits! granted, the Jey Uso one was obvious, it was Drew.
Also I know you laughed off Gallus as an option to beat MCMG, but it they get called up as Drew McIntyre's heavies, I could definitely see it happening
Liv & raquel already lost a tag title shot when liv got a kod & pinned. Than she got pinned again by rhea weeks later instead of raquel. liv has been the worst booked women's champion of the triple h era that they should just end the reign by rumble
Bron Breakker should beat Cody. He’d be a legit threat physically. He could finish his Dad’s story. I think due to what he can do in the ring, people want to cheer Bron. Him winning Money in the Bank or the Rumble could catapult his career.
@ Bron’s story is like Cody’s. Rick never touched a top singles championship if I remember right. Both are from pretty famous wrestling families. Sure, Scott was more well known, but I can’t diminish what Rick accomplished as part of their tag team. Rick never getting as popular as Scott or Dusty could lead to an interesting story between the two sons. I like the idea of another family feud rivalry. It worked between Cody and Roman. 🤷♂️ It’d be nice to see the title go to someone who hasn’t won it before. Fresher faces in the main event scene.
He not ready yet plus this year with cena...orton...seth....punk I don't they will have Bron in there just wait....they going have him dominate the IC title next year
@ Maybe. I’m just not interested in seeing same 6-8 people at the top constantly. Gunther and Bronson Reed have added so much interest into the title picture and I just want it to expand to more fresh faces. I’d rather see Breakker Vs Cody than see Rock Vs Cody cause it’s not going back to the same old thing. Many probably would disagree with me, but its just my opinion. Differing opinions are a good thing when discussing wrestling. It makes it fun.
That would be a disastrous move lmao like, Arquette winning the WCW title or Austin's WM 17 heel turn. People would tune out in droves. Dom is booked like such a weak wrestler (not character) that it's hard to suspend disbelief and think he can have a competitive match, let alone win a world title 😂
@Jermaine2099 Sure whatever you say. Dom is a real wrestler and gets the biggest reactions out of the crowd. He would use every trick in the book to defeat him. They still have time to build him up (which they are already starting). I am not saying Cody is losing next week.
Am I the only one not behind Rhea winning the Rumble? I love Rhea as much as the next person but there really isn't any reason she needs to win the Rumble to face Liv. She can beat Raquel on an episode of Raw then set up Liv vs Rhea for the Rumble where Rhea can win the title back. I just feel like that Rumble moment can go to someone else since Rhea already won it from the #1 spot in 2023.
I seriously wish Owens would beat Rhodes. Like what HHH is doing, but don't think he will give the belt to the most deserving person. And yes, Kevin Owens is that guy. He is popular, great in the ring and one of the best on the mic. He has been a company guy, through everything that has gone on.
Mania 40 was incredible and seeing it live was an absolute privilege. With that said, Cody ain't it. This reign has been boring. Cody's character is far too generic and it's like he was produced in a lab to be the perfect WWE golden boy for the modern era. We need something different. Why should I care about him now that the story's finished? I'm a big Seth fanboy, so I ike your idea, Steve.
I laughed so hard when Steve realized his Jan. 6th joke.

I was like who’s gonna tell em 😂😂😂
what happened on january 6th? what am i not remembering?
@@joeseaman8347 The day a swarm of people overrun the White House
8:16 aged like fine milk within a day.
Im number 1 Cody stan but Rollins beating him is 100% the right choice. Then the story becomes even more interesting between roman/seth/cody
You know how it goes who ever wins going end up facing one of those guys one on one in the PLE afterwords
"If there was a fucking with people title, Karrion Kross would be the Bruno" - Steve, December 2024.
Kinda want KO to win at main event
Same and want Cody to win it back a Rumble a more aggressive Cody
nah that “C’MON” joke was crazy underrated 😂
If the Rock shows up in the Rumble, I NEED him to come out at spot 31. It would be such a fun and surprising viral moment.
Love the idea of Kofi helping a heel Woods win the IC title; have Jey Uso reclaim his IC title then his old foes the New Day screw him out of it
Cody - Orton
Nia - Tiffy
Gunther - Punk
Liv - Rhea because 7 months wasn't long enough for HHH to develop a single other person in the entire division.
MCMG - Street Prophets.
Finn and JD - New Day
Jade and Bianca - The Lash Legend tag team whose name I can't remember.
Bron - Shaemus
Nakamura - Andrade (I think he's the face...or is Carmelo the face? The face of the two, lol)
Mens Rumble: Punk
Womens Rumble: Bianca. I think Tiffy will be champ by then. Rhea can earn her shot at elimination chamber. Bianca vs Tiffy at Mania sounds great to me. It could always be Charlotte Flair as well.
Women's MITB: Chelsea Green (voting with my heart)

Love that idea
Shinsuke should come out with a Japanese title on Smackdown, primarily because it would look awesome, but if they want him to be a heel, that would be the perfect way for him to get heat.
I always say if a foreign wrestler wins the US title they should change it to their country’s title

In all honesty, the one WHO SHOULD be at COdy should be him elevating someone like Bronson Reed OR reviving someone's career like Finn Balor.
jan 6 will be memorable for sure..... we are all gonna die.
Kofi's new gimmick should be having people tell him horrible things that happen to them and he says , So What to everyone

Kevin Owens is the REAL Worlds Champ
Carries that winged eagle with so much pride
Why didn't anyone call Gunther Supergunther when he was IC Champion?
Naah bro you gotta do it in the main event picture
He best Mustafa Ali and stuff in between

Randy should temporarily take the belt off of Cody until WrestleMania...

Cody - the Rock

I think KO should win at SNME.

Bron is more of a king of the ring type of a guy
Who will dethrone Cody ?
Ko
Roman
Rock
Seth
Orton
Watching this after smackdown had me cackling. Larson was so wrong about the tag champs 😭
Jhon Cina will be the one the beat Cody
Money in the Bank: Xavier Woods
It’s gonna be Roman lol. Maybe Randy.
Goldust should beat Cody for the belt.
Dom will dethrone Cody.

You literally already did this like a month ago and only did crop out answers?
Heel Seth beats Cody to set up face Roman beating Seth. Chefs kiss.

Naw
Cena for ic
What is it so hard about naming the wrestler when you show their picture. Big F you to people who can only listen and not see the video.
