WWE: Cody Rhodes wins back WWE title, CM Punk eviscerates Roman Reigns, Finn Balor turns
🎧 Listen to the full episode on Getting Over Wrestling Podcast
CM Punk vs. Roman Reigns
I'm sorry Roman Reigns treated you, the Bloodline and his family like garbage over the years. I'm sorry Reigns disrespected Dusty Rhodes calling him irrelevant. He never has apologized for any of that.
Pat McAfee WWE status
Pat McAfee announced on a live social media stream that while he will continue to watch WWE, he does not expect to return to the company anytime soon. He said that you can never say never, but it does not feel like it's something that is supposed to happen. Feels like that business has kind of passed me by.
WWE Championship booking
I'm dismayed. Not just because I personally like McIntyre and wanted him to be champion going into WrestleMania, but because a four-way would have been a far more compelling and unique match.
CM Punk vs. The Bloodline
How can you claim to be the voice of the voiceless yet talk down to a dead man who has no voice?
Cody Rhodes vs. Drew McIntyre match quality
This was their worst match together, almost like neither had any passion for it going in. And that was hardly the lone issue. McIntyre looked like an idiot costing himself the upper hand due to the replacement ref, a story point that had not been touched on in months.
Drew McIntyre's standing
It tells me they don't see Drew McIntyre as a WrestleMania main eventer anymore. Because if there was ever a time to do it, this is it. You got Seth out. You got Roman and Punk together. You got no rock or big celebrities coming back. Brock's not in a main event.
Cody Rhodes vs. Drew McIntyre
The only way Cody's gonna be champion is if he pries the title from my cold, dead hands.
Cody Rhodes crowd reaction
I have every belief that Cody is going to get booed in Las Vegas for the second straight year even if Randy turns heel before WrestleMania. WWE, they are in this place right now where they need to be very careful the way they are booking Cody Rhodes.
WrestleMania 42 marketing
The newest video graphic they put out for Roman Reigns versus CM Punk had so many weird elements that it either was AI or it was AI enhanced which is massively disappointing. Not only because it's largely slop but because WWE graphics have been on point for decades now.
Seth Rollins 'Putty Patrol' segment
I'm not sure I have ever heard a crowd go from a loudly chanting, holy shit to utter confusion and silence in a WTF am I watching stretch?
