Argue about Cody all you want, but Roman/Sami is the hottest thing this company has by a mile. Him hitting Roman with a chair got an Attitude Era level pop, and his otherworldly ability to gain babyface sympathy makes this a "how are you not fucking making this the WM main event?" level situation. Yeah, you can knock Sami all you want too but even Austin was just some schlub feuding with Savio on the pre show of PPVs until Austin 3:16 caught fire. The company was smart enough then to ride the hot hand that fell into their lap to the biggest money earning period in company history. I'm not saying Sami would ever reach that level, but goddamn you got a molten crowd who couldn't possibly make it clearer this is what they want to see and it's like this company hates making money.

Speaking of Lucha news, Negro Casas and his wife Dalys jumped to AAA. I wonder if this is going to spark Negro to have a "Terry Funk in ECW" phase now.

They spent so much time building up Sami standing up for himself against Roman that's it's going to be hard to not feel like a rug-pull to give us Cody instead. They've also been referring to the Raw and SD tag titles separately again instead of "unified tag champs" which makes me think two they are going to be splitting them up again. That wouldn't seem to go with a KO/Sami vs Uso program. Maybe they'll do something that costs the Usos the titles, but even with that the best angle WWE has done since the Megapowers exploded paying off with Sami in a tag match seems lame.

it's amazing how *everyone* involved has been amazing in their roles. Also I think this also settles the debate if Heyman books the angles he's involved in since KO got Raven'd

That would be weaksauce considering the fans REALLY want to see Roman/Sami. If they do literally anything else the crowd is going to hijack the shit out of it.

That's some nuclear fucking heat Roman is getting

That pop, goddamn

They have similar views on the evils of vaccination

oh lordy

Funny enough the Street Fighter Youtube page dropped the announcement but is referring to her as Thea Trinidad. Odd that something promoted on WWE wouldn't use her WWE name.

Respectfully enjoying Zelina's Juri cosplay

Here's hoping Chelsea Green makes it through the match without breaking something.

KANA!

ah yes, my annual reminder that Dana Brooke still exists

Seems like the announcers should have pointed out Bray was wearing the Fiend mask during that last part.

Honestly that wasn't as bad as I was expecting, and the black light at least made a cool visual.

That was probably one of the best booked Rumbles in a while. The only time it dragged was when they were collecting bodies for Brock to toss around. Also this really shows they think a lot of Gunther to set the Ironman record and, ironically, be the ring general of the match.

Noted crypto scammer Logan Paul

I guess this means Beth in the women's match?

Booker has them Iron Shiek knees

Rhea makes it worthwhile.

Corey and Pat talking about Pittsburgh drinking spots is like a fever dream to me

Corbin getting murked will always get a thumbs up in my book.

Nothing seems to make Brock happier than seeing new MEATY MEN to slap meat with.

Here comes Brock to take out the trash
