Cody Rhodes crowd reaction
When Cody came out it was like, 'Get this guy out of here.' Heavy is the head that wears the crown, Mr. Rhodes. You are now John Cena. You are too sickly sweet; no one wants a white meat babyface anymore.
SmackDown segment
Cody Rhodes' balls are not in the best shape after getting low blowed by Pat McAfee.
Pat McAfee/The Rock comparison
This feels like the reheated nachos of The Rock coming in. I saw The Rock do this last year. You don't get to do that when you're Pat McAfee. It doesn't work.
Rhea Ripley/Jade Cargill feud
I know that Rhea wasn't the plan for Jade [Cargill]. That being said, this group should have happened weeks earlier. It didn't. I don't see the point in it now, especially when you were using these same two girls as fodder for Jade.
Carmelo Hayes booking
I hope they don't [leave Carmelo Hayes off the card]. Carmelo was someone they slept on for an entire year. They heated him up. He delivered. I think it's really unfair to leave him off the Mania card.
Randy Orton/Pat McAfee storyline
I would have rather seen Omos in this spot, to be honest. It just makes absolutely no sense that that would be the case [for Pat McAfee to be Randy Orton's mystery partner].
Drew McIntyre/Jacob Fatu storyline
I'm not gonna hold you, I thought about the time when Sheamus was wrestling Jeff Hardy and they were doing that awful gimmick where they were making him pee in the cup. I thought that's where the Drew McIntyre/Jacob Fatu thing was going.
Pat McAfee heel turn
I don't think people are going to buy heel Pat McAfee because they're like, we love him and his goofy, exaggerated accent. Like, people love Pat McAfee.
Jacob Fatu booking
I feel like [Jacob Fatu] was being built for the U.S. title to get a rematch for that, and then it kind of just went poof into the air.
WWE creative criticism
I don't think it's hard. You guys are all wrestling minds, right? If we're the idiots, why are you writing like that? I just am constantly like, give it to the robots, hand it over to ChatGPT. They can't do a worse job than this.
Wyatt Six/Bloodline storyline
At this point, just take Lassie out back and shoot him respectfully because now you're pissing me off. What is this? The tree could be Danhausen's stable. That's where I'm at with it. I don't care.
