"That doesn't work for me brother - HH" - Dwayne Johnson, 2024.
Appointed to the board one week, top of the company the next, the WWE way lmao.
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
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.
The balance of power in the WWE Universe is about to change.
God, Black Adam was shit lol.

Great point. That drama didn't even cross my mind.
"Beats Roman and Seth in a winner take all triple threat on the first RAW." Brother. - HH
Just goes to show that, at the top, WWE hasn't changed. Everything Punk said in 2011, everything that led Cody to walk away in the first place, is still absolutely true.
i'm sorry but cody getting pushed aside so an executive at the top of the company could go over will never not be hilarious karma.
What's Cody got to do with Vince being a sex trafficker and Punk getting injured? God dammit.
I barely follow WWE news, and haven't watched anything since switching to NJPW in 2017, and then AEW when it launched; but I always thought from what i'd heard of big news that Rock v Roman was a match that was always going to happen, and assumed that the only place it would ever happen was Wrestlemania.
So as a mostly disconnected, not even casual fan, I figured Cody winning the Rumble and picking Rollins was always the plan, otherwise they'd what, wait until next year for Rock-Roman?
I wonder if that only changed once Punk imploded, got himself fired and then became available for WWE again?
Wait, have they split the titles? I thought Roman was the only champion they had.
The Universal and WWE championships are both still on Roman as the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship.
Back in April HHH came out and did the ol 'you deserve a champion who'll be here' shtick and created a new World Heavyweight Championship (with a new title lineage, as the old World Heavyweight Championship's lineage was folded into the WWE Championship) which is currently held by Seth Rollins (it's first and only holder so far).
99% of viewers acknowledge the World title as the 'B' belt to the Undisputed one(s) given it was literally made as the consolation prize belt.
I remember it now, but wow I had completely forgotten that ever happened.
