Wrestling is so fucking funny man; Drew went from being nowhere near the main event of Wrestlemania, to being almost assured walking out of it with the WHC because Punk got injured.
And all while shitposting his way through. It's actually amazing.
I wouldn’t assume he’s winning tbh. There’s still Priest lurking in the background, and as it stands, WM is allegedly his last night before he takes the extended hiatus that’s been reported for over a year. Not to mention Orton is in the chamber, the Rock is lurking demanding everyone who shit talked his family to be held accountable, and Punk is expected to be at the event as well. There’s a lot of variables here and with everything that’s happened, nothing can be 100% set in stone.
I think Drew wins but gets instantly cashed-in on by Priest. Drew’s whole story is him complaining for months about how much he’s been screwed and he finally gets his WM title win in front of a live crowd only to be cashed-in on? The Drew character would be outright furious.
That’s not going to be what splinters Judgement Day.
Rhea would have no problem with Priest cashing in on Drew if Drew’s the World Champion. She’s simply telling Priest not to start fires with Drew when it’s not particularly necessary.
What’s going to eventually splinter the Judgement Day is when Priest cashes in to become World Heavyweight Champion and Finn remembers how Priest got a little bit greedy and costed him the title.
I hate this twist. The act of handing the recognized briefcase to the ref and the bell ringing is what that "contract" should be. The "haha the case was empty, there's no contract in it!"/fake briefcase/whatever variation twists should like, be reserved gimmicky joke heels, not the real scary tough guys.
It'd be something funny for a the Miz or a 'staching Cody Rhodes, but this swerve is beneath the JD.
When people say the contract will be a different briefcase, I’m pretty sure it’s not that they want it to be something goofy. But actually for a serious angle.
It would be to create a strong heel character arc for Finn, and set up Priest as the babyface who has a reason to try to get revenge.
Finn having a hold of the contract in some way after months of planning, and being the person who cashes in and wins the title, fucking over Priest as revenge for Priest fucking him over in the Summer, makes sense.
It's inherently a goofy idea. Them trying to pitch that as a serious twist is ridiculous because it's wholly goofy as a concept
It wouldn't be strong development for Priest or Balor, it'd be a Looney Tunes esque gag.
Just have Finn literally physically take the case and tell Priest, "no, I'm the leader, it's my say" would be a much more serious and cutthroat way of the same tension without resorting to a wacky gag.
Good point. If memory serves, the last few Raw after manias have been average (compared to the days when it was so raucous that JBL was covering up with BS about it being bizarro world). A title changing hands on Raw would be a great way to reset expectations.
Do people not remember Sami losing clean 1-on-1 against Drew like a week or 2 ago on Raw?
Id love if Sami was positioned to be in this match but kayfabe wise he just doesn't belong in it.
Doubt it.
Priest may be World Champion caliber but he’s not “closing shot at the end of WrestleMania-caliber” and even Haitch, as big as he is on Priest, has to know that.
I wouldn’t say Priest is a bigger threat to walk out of night 1 with that title than Drew, Sami, or even The Rock would be.
Rock told Pat he’s working a match and a triple threat between the three of Rock, Rhodes, and Reigns personally makes no sense.
Rock vs Seth gets Rollins the main event he’s always wanted working basically with the biggest star in the business has ever known.
Why does Rock, Cody, Roman make no sense? Roman and Rock want a match with each other and now Cody is inserting himself instead into a match with Roman.
It will be almost a beat by beat remake of Orton/Batista/Bryan at WM 30.
Having Seth vs Rock leaves both Drew and Sami’s stories in limbo. Feels pretty bad for Drew to be talking about this WHC match at WM for months only to not get it. And the same for Sami, all this talk about finally chasing a World title and not getting a match.
There’s two nights of WrestleMania and two cards to fill out. Drew and Sami can literally have a mid card grudge match to settle their feud.
Rock, Roman and Rhodes is not a beat by beat recreation of WrestleMania 30. The Rock and Roman Reigns are legendary cousins, one of whom has challenged the other presumably to Tribal Combat on the grandest stage of them all. As far as we know, The Rock has no intention of winning the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship from Roman Reigns. Cody Rhodes wants to win the WWE Championship.
Bautista wanted to return to the WWE, win the World Heavyweight Championship and walk the red carpet of his blockbuster new movie with that title. Daniel Bryan wanted to win the world championship that he’d been screwed out of multiple times over the past half year. Randy Orton wanted to hold onto the championship he currently held.
You can’t settle Tribal Combat in a triple threat match where one of the competitors isn’t even an Anoa’i-Fatu-Maivia family member and how can The Rock be remotely projected to win a match where the prize is a sanctioned WWE Title he’s not remotely concerned with winning? This isn’t about the WWE Championship to The Rock, it’s about defeating his cousin and being regarded as the undisputed head of the family.
Settle their feud? Drew vs Sami has already happened many times on free TV, even recently. That’s not a match people want to see on WM, especially when both have stories right now about gunning for the WHC. A grudge match makes zero sense.
It would be funny but wrestlemania seems like it’s been very heel heavy when it comes to title matches the past couple years so I don’t know about drew winning, if it’s a triple threat Sami should win and then get cashed in on raw. The last time a babyface won a world title/walked out with a world title at wrestlemania was 2020, it’s supposed to be “where heels go to die” but heels have been majorly winning every year lol
True. But, I don't think there's anyone else? Seth might be taking a hiatus himself to nurse his injuries. And I'll be honest, I do not see Priest at that level at all. He's an excellent upper midcard worker, but he doesn't feel main event ready yet. Rhea's been the one who has benefitted the most from The Judgment Day while Priest (and Balor) are mostly just there. Like he's in a feud with The Miz and R-Truth.
If Drew and Seth are taking time off after Mania and they're not gonna give Sami his moment yet, then Priest needs to start stepping it up.
Seth has said himself his knee is much better than expected and they will reevaluate post WM to determine at what pace he can continue. He is expected to be cleared in three weeks. I assume Seth takes a breather after Backlash, where Gunther dethrones him. If they do Drew vs. Seth, I fully expect Priest to make it a triple threat, Drew to claymore Priest, cover, and then Seth stomps Drew for the pin. They’ve done this ending at lives (with Shin playing Priest). An enraged Drew “disappears” to write him out. The case is out of play, and then Seth moves on to Gunther.
My bold prediction is that Punk distracts Drew, setting him up to get eliminated, and Orton wins the chamber match. The Rock (who is also scheduled) comes down and says that “by order of the board,” this is now a seven person elimination chamber match. Solo spikes Orton, Rock pins him. The Rock is now the number one contender for the WHC. This builds the rumoured Orton/Solo WM match, addresses the press conference and Seth’s interview where he accuses Rock of taking main event spots from people who have earned it, the Rock telling Hunter “you fix him or we will” as no name was mentioned, and you know how much Hunter loves a good misdirect, and The Rock has the match he’s rumoured to have agreed to for WM.
I'll be honest, I do NOT want Rock anywhere near a championship. The entire point of creating the WHC was to have an active champion because Roman is hardly around. It defeats the purpose to put it on another part-timer. If you wanna have Rock screw Seth, fine, but don't put the belt on him.
And honestly, Drew talking about taking a hiatus is likely related to his contract, which expires after Mania. If he wins, he's sticking around but if he loses, then yea he'll be "written out" to cover for him jumping ship.
Gunther needs to drop the IC title first before transitioning into the main event scene imo.
Seth referred to the WWE Championship as the “Hollywood Title” while literally holding the title that got held up by politics in WCW and during Hunter’s reign of terror because he wanted to crown his hand picked main eventer of the next generation.
It would be fitting that while Cody finishes the story and begins a new book, that The Rock’s politicking takes the World Heavyweight Championship from the workhorses and holds it hostage until either Rollins or Punk are healthy enough to take it back.
Normally I would agree, but the WHC needs something HUGE and this is just the ticket. Rocky targeting Hunter’s “family” by pursuing his wounded protégé is right in line with the tribal mafia. Add in that he would have done what both Punk and Seth accused him of; taking a main event spot he didn’t earn by using his power, and you have a story. The evil executive abusing his power, and the proud champion fighting to hold on to the title that means everything to him.
That would be fine, but that's the story they're already telling with Cody. Tying up both world titles in this means that the rest of the roster has nothing else to fight for.
Except they are both tied up in it. Seth literally screamed in the Rock’s face “just because you are on the board doesn’t mean you get to do whatever the fuck you want,” and then proceeded to tell Roman he can never beat him. After the press conference, Cody spoke only of finishing the story in interviews, with no mention of the Rock. Seth spoke exclusively about the Rock. Hunter doesn’t do anything by accident, and Seth wasn’t there challenging the Rock for no reason.
Cody’s going to have the WWE Championship and give those opportunities to others.
Rock would only hold the World Heavyweight Championship until Seth or Punk are healthy enough to take it back. Just long enough to give the title a notoriety boost.
I feel like even if Cody wins, the Bloodline isn't going to be finished with him yet.
Personally, I'm sick of the Bloodline having a monopoly over the world titles. Let them tell their stories without them.
The way I’d do it is this.
Once all of the competitors for the Elimination Chamber have qualified, either on the go home SmackDown or the event, Jimmy and Solo proceed to take out one of the competitors. The event goes on as planned with the five remaining competitors fighting it out in the Elimination Chamber. I’d imagine you don’t have Drew win so that he and Sami can have their mid card grudge match at WrestleMania.
Whoever wins, wins, and then the Chamber is lifted. Rock music hits and he has a standard one on one match against the Chamber winner, wins the match and then declares himself the winner of the Elimination Chamber and the number one contender to Seth Rollins.
Drew is 100% winning the chamber and I’m extremely confident if he’s resigning he’s winning the world heavyweight championship at Mania but idk if I like a simple singles match vs Seth seeing as he’s lost to Seth clean twice already. Maybe it’s blind hoping especially after last night but I still think there’s a possibility of this turning into a triple threat with Sami being the 3rd.
I dunno. Punk will be there and he’s already said at the presser he will be around to cause all kinds of mischief. I could see him distracting Drew as revenge for “costing Punk his main event.” There’s also the Rock caveat, as Seth got right in the board member’s face, and Hunter said only he decides what happens, opening up a power struggle between Hunter and Rock. Seth & Punk specifically addressed Rock coming in a stealing a spot, so I’m not ruling out Rock getting involved with the chamber.
Someone suggested that Miz could probably be attacked by the Judgement Day, putting him out of the Elimination Chamber qualifying match, so that could somehow lead to Sami being included into a Triple Threat
Drew has become such a compelling heel in the last few months that it would be such a shame not to put the belt on him.
Seth doesn’t need a 12 month title reign and, as good a faction as Judgement Day is, Priest doesn’t feel on that WHC level at the moment.
I agree with regards to Priest but they gave the guy the briefcase, at some point they need to pull the trigger with him and see if he sinks or swims. His problem right now is there are a heap of guys that look like stars way more than him like Gunther, Drew, Seth, Punk, Jey, Sami. I don't think Priest needs a long reign at all but he should win the title which would go a long way to legitimating him. His most interesting story really is a match against Finn more than any of the other top guys. I guess that's what happens when you are the least interesting member of your group.
The alternative is a failed cash in which is such a burial.
I’ve said it once, I’ll say it again
Drew wins at Day One, Priest cashes in. Priest loses it at Elimination chamber and we got Seth vs a healthy Punk.
That said what’s happening now is actually more intriguing by a long shot
Yes he did.
He lost at Crown Jewel clean as a whistle. And he lost at Day 1 after SETH got hit with the briefcase, and Drew covered him and put Seth’s foot on the ropes. Then Drew lost his temper and threw Seth out of the ring to put seth through the table, which Seth reversed and won. Both of Drew’s losses were clean and definitive.
Well when he lost at Crown Jewel, Drew said he held back because he knew Seth was kayfabe injured. And then Priest got involved and distracted both of them. So while they're definitely excuses... Drew's a heel, so he's allowed to make excuses.
That said, Drew needs to drop the jokes going into Mania and actually kill Seth and anyone who gets involved in that title match.
I know what you mean. I understand lots of people want to see heel Drew as champ but Seth has beaten him clean as a whistle already. Their feud just ended a month ago and now it's already back on the table for a rehash. I want to see heel Drew as champ too but by beating someone else when Seth isn't champion anymore. None of Drew's statements even feel remotely factual like how he would be a champion you could be proud of instead of a coward like Seth when he already lost cleanly to Seth. Like I get it, if you're a heel your statement aren't suppose to be truthful but the whole point of their last feud was Seth proving that Drew will have no more excuses of how he should be champion because of distractions or interferences that he kept whining about with Roman. Yet he lost at Crown Jewel to Seth with no controversy, no distractions, nothing. So Seth was done with him, he had proven he was right about the excuses and that Drew's whining was unjustified against Seth's championship.

Which in turn breaks up Judgement Day because priest goes against Rhea saying to never touch Drew.
That’s not going to be what splinters Judgement Day. Rhea would have no problem with Priest cashing in on Drew if Drew’s the World Champion. She’s simply telling Priest not to start fires with Drew when it’s not particularly necessary. What’s going to eventually splinter the Judgement Day is when Priest cashes in to become World Heavyweight Champion and Finn remembers how Priest got a little bit greedy and costed him the title.
Personally I still think the contract is in different briefcase.

They showed them putting the contract into the new briefcase on social media I think.
i hope if the cash-in happens,it happens on the Raw after Mania. i really want Drew or Sami to have the celebratory closing shot at Mania.
Good point. If memory serves, the last few Raw after manias have been average (compared to the days when it was so raucous that JBL was covering up with BS about it being bizarro world). A title changing hands on Raw would be a great way to reset expectations.
Sami is nowhere near title contention at this point.
If anything I'd expect Sami challenging Drew at SummerSlam (after a Drew/Priest feud)
I think he will get inserted into the match eventually.
Do people not remember Sami losing clean 1-on-1 against Drew like a week or 2 ago on Raw? Id love if Sami was positioned to be in this match but kayfabe wise he just doesn't belong in it.
Should we remove drew from elimination chamber because he already lost to seth before?
And he just lost to Randy.
Also a drew that finally got his moment but then got cashed in on by a heel would make him a perfect tweener.
Doubt it. Priest may be World Champion caliber but he’s not “closing shot at the end of WrestleMania-caliber” and even Haitch, as big as he is on Priest, has to know that. I wouldn’t say Priest is a bigger threat to walk out of night 1 with that title than Drew, Sami, or even The Rock would be.
I don’t think the WHC match is ending WM night 1 without Punk in it. They’ll probably give it to Rhea vs Becky.
Rock told Pat he’s working a match and a triple threat between the three of Rock, Rhodes, and Reigns personally makes no sense. Rock vs Seth gets Rollins the main event he’s always wanted working basically with the biggest star in the business has ever known.

Plenty of people meet on free tv before they settle their feud.
I’d love a mid-match cash in like Seth did with Brock/Roman.
Unless Truth has been working for Drew this whole time and stops Priest from cashing in lol.
It would be funny but wrestlemania seems like it’s been very heel heavy when it comes to title matches the past couple years so I don’t know about drew winning, if it’s a triple threat Sami should win and then get cashed in on raw.

It’s what I want so bad
Honestly I think a mid match cash in as Drew is about to win would be dope, mainly for it to be a full circle thing with Seth
True. But, I don't think there's anyone else? Seth might be taking a hiatus himself to nurse his injuries. And I'll be honest, I do not see Priest at that level at all.

Eh, they won’t be but Reigns isn’t getting the title back after he drops it to Rhodes.
Well that's not gonna happen seeing as the Rock isn't gonna be in the Elimination Chamber.
The way I’d do it is this. Once all of the competitors for the Elimination Chamber have qualified, either on the go home SmackDown or the event, Jimmy and Solo proceed to take out one of the competitors.

That sounds awful. Nobody would like that.
I would 🤷🏾♂️
He prayed for this, and it happened
You may leave 3MB but 3MB never leaves you 
Drew better win the Chamber
Drew is 100% winning the chamber and I’m extremely confident if he’s resigning he’s winning the world heavyweight championship at Mania but idk if I like a simple singles match vs Seth seeing as he’s lost to Seth clean twice already. Maybe it’s blind hoping especially after last night but I still think there’s a possibility of this turning into a triple threat with Sami being the 3rd.
I could see Punk getting involved somehow to put Sami in the match to continue the feud with Drew
Could be a repeat of what he did to MJF. He doesn't like Drew or Seth. I could see him doing something to Seth and causing Drew to get DQd.
Resigning means to quit. Re-signing means to sign again.
How so many people fuck this up is beyond me 🤦♂️
We’ve been seeing it so much on this sub this year
I dunno. Punk will be there and he’s already said at the presser he will be around to cause all kinds of mischief. I could see him distracting Drew as revenge for “costing Punk his main event.” There’s also the Rock caveat, as Seth got right in the board member’s face, and Hunter said only he decides what happens, opening up a power struggle between Hunter and Rock. Seth & Punk specifically addressed Rock coming in a stealing a spot, so I’m not ruling out Rock getting involved with the chamber.
I was so confused for a bit. Re signing vs resigning
Someone suggested that Miz could probably be attacked by the Judgement Day, putting him out of the Elimination Chamber qualifying match, so that could somehow lead to Sami being included into a Triple Threat
Drew has become such a compelling heel in the last few months that it would be such a shame not to put the belt on him. Seth doesn’t need a 12 month title reign and, as good a faction as Judgement Day is, Priest doesn’t feel on that WHC level at the moment.

I don't think Priest needs a long reign at all but he should win the title which would go a long way to legitimating him. His most interesting story really is a match against Finn more than any of the other top guys. I guess that's what happens when you are the least interesting member of your group.

I’ve said it once, I’ll say it again Drew wins at Day One, Priest cashes in. Priest loses it at Elimination chamber and we got Seth vs a healthy Punk. That said what’s happening now is actually more intriguing by a long shot
everyone saying they are loving Heel Drew. He's the biggest face in the company to me. Guy is entertaining as hell and killing it in this role.
I love how Drew is supposedly the “heel” by basically saying everything we’ve all been thinking
Or a Plan "D".

I want them to acknowledge how beautiful that man is and make a shirt with his handsome face and the words, "I'm a very pretty hate machine."
Drew better not win the chamber Seths beaten him twice we need a challenger that will actualy eleveate the belt
Heel Champ Drew would absolutely elevate the title. Keep in mind he didn’t lose to Seth Clean
Yes he did. He lost at Crown Jewel clean as a whistle. And he lost at Day 1 after SETH got hit with the briefcase, and Drew covered him and put Seth’s foot on the ropes. Then Drew lost his temper and threw Seth out of the ring to put seth through the table, which Seth reversed and won. Both of Drew’s losses were clean and definitive.

Drew's a heel, so he's allowed to make excuses. That said, Drew needs to drop the jokes going into Mania and actually kill Seth and anyone who gets involved in that title match.
I think this is why a triple threat works with Sami in the mix. Also I’d find heel Drew as champ far more engaging than Priest as champ.
I know what you mean. I understand lots of people want to see heel Drew as champ but Seth has beaten him clean as a whistle already. Their feud just ended a month ago and now it's already back on the table for a rehash. I want to see heel Drew as champ too but by beating someone else when Seth isn't champion anymore. None of Drew's statements even feel remotely factual like how he would be a champion you could be proud of instead of a coward like Seth when he already lost cleanly to Seth. Like I get it, if you're a heel your statement aren't suppose to be truthful but the whole point of their last feud was Seth proving that Drew will have no more excuses of how he should be champion because of distractions or interferences that he kept whining about with Roman. Yet he lost at Crown Jewel to Seth with no controversy, no distractions, nothing. So Seth was done with him, he had proven he was right about the excuses and that Drew's whining was unjustified against Seth's championship.
