Because why not?!  Hoping for some surprises and Cody winning.

Can't stand WWE. Big AEW/ROH guy though. Won't be watching tonight but I follow the WWE storylines. Cody will definitely win, and the Usos will definitely lose. The rest of the card is beyond boring. Just a bunch of thrown together BS in the last month stuff.

I just checked out the highlights on the SquaredCircle subreddit and it seemed like a good show. No poor calls. Cody better go over tonight.

The big storyline have been building all year. Sami Zayn againt the Bloodline has been the best story in decades. Charlotte Flair against Rhea Ripley was the match of the night.

I guess I'm the only one that doesn't like Cody Rhodes. Hopefully he doesn't win tonight.

Expect tonight to be crazy.  Specially if this is correct.

The mid-card, as with all of the WWE shows, is the strongest part of their presentation. The top end stuff has gotten stale.

Edge’s entrance to Slayer…one of the best ever. I was hoping Cody would win but figured he would not especially if Vince is back calling the shots. Vince pushed Roman for the past several years.

I see your point. However it’s makes no since to put the belt on Cody after just 1 year. Hell it took Roman 4 years to finally beat Broke and get it.  We don’t have to wait till 2024 but the story telling is designed to make Cody the underdog. Keep beating his ass. Each week. Each PPV until summer slam. As a fan for the last 30 years, they are going to build Cody like they built Roman but as a baby face. They can then have they next “guys”. The only true headliners they have are Roman and maybe Lesner. They build Cody correctly, like they are doing, they will have their next Cena rock punk or Austin.

they're always trying to recapture impossible Daniel Bryan magic with these underdogs and forget that people also like it when good guys win.

Cody shouldn't be presented as an underdog imo, that's the wrong way to go with him. he's not an underdog, he's a nepo baby millionaire with a hot wife and loads of pyro. he's ostentatious and it conflicts with the underdog thing.

True. Take away the underdog part though. They are trying to build him as the next big thing. I like what they are doing. They put the belt on Rhonda rousey after 6 months and it backfired.

I think HHH would put the belt on Cody but with Vince back in the power position I’m not so sure. Vince loves to bury guys from other companies. He put Dusty in polka dots.

Worst thing that could happen to WWE was Vince coming back. And it has been a trainwreck since he did. Wow.

AEW gets another shot at pushing their way to the top. Good luck to them!
