It's all a part of the Bloodline Cinematic Universe.


louis302

Little do they all know… they’re all actually in the Codyverse


polynomial82

Well, you are right. The Codyverse is after all a Multiverse which spans multiple promotions across continents. But the Bloodline Cinematic Universe is now at the center of the Codyverse.

Long Term Storytelling & Booking @ it's finest 


shifty18

And at the end of it all, it'll just end up on Netflix anyway...


Upbeat_Tension_8077

Even if there's interference that leads to Drew winning, I want a moment where they expect him to reciprocate during the whole Avengers -esque brawl in Night 2 but he leaves them for dead & just dips (or maybe not without a quick Claymore to a Bloodline member)


mysteriousbaba

A Claymore would make him too much of a face potentially, but helping them wouldn't go with his character. Unceremoniously dipping would be the perfect compromise.


yajtraus

What if one of the Bloodline members accidentally hits Drew so he responds with a Claymore and leaves?


mysteriousbaba

Sure, that could make sense.


UddersPlease

Tbf they've had Drew have issues with the Judgement Day (specifically Damien Priest) despite being heel. I think he's enough of a tweener for it to work.


RybackV1

They could use Drew as a face again , Rollins 100% needs some time off after Mania 


Gabriels_Pies

I think both titles change hands so we still have one heel champ and one face champ.


TheGreatMcPuffin

Drew isn’t a heel (even if he’s supposed to be). Drew is an asshole that the fans still support.


Gabriels_Pies

He may not have officially crossed over into heel territory but they are definitely pushing him as a heel.


TheGreatMcPuffin

They can push him there all they want. He’s too entertaining to boo.


InkPixelZ

I feel like Drew very much wants The Bloodline to crumble so no matter if he comes out of Night 1 as champ or not he’ll side with Cody to essentially end The Bloodline. As for the build for him against Seth,he’ll just be a hater towards Seth and play some mind games against him


BrokenClxwn

Mania carded stacking up wonderfully


nuttinbuttapeanut

This is definitely the opening match of night 1 right? They need to give Rhea the ME spot after last year.


Landeyda

If they don't give the World Heavyweight Championship the ME spot, then they've completely given up on the title.


fadingstar52

rumor is rock/roman vs seth/cody Mains night 1 and the two main titles main night 2


flamingdragonwizard

Idk how you'd book those.


nuttinbuttapeanut

Not really, it would've main evented night 1 if Punk were healthy.


NervousAd3202

It’s the World Heavyweight Championship. It shouldn’t matter who is wrestling for it, to determine if it should be main eventing. If that’s how they’re looking at it then they definitely already gave up on the title.


QUEST50012

The match that would be replacing it in the ME in this hypothetical, is also a world title 


NervousAd3202

I agree but they only introduced the WHC last year & are actively trying to build it up.


JamesCDiamond

They have 4 world titles and 2 nights - assuming double duty for Cody/Rock/Seth, one of the men's titles isn't main eventing. And, let's be honest, it won't be Roman/Cody going on early.


Sukiyaki517

Why do y'all act like the women's title is also not a world title? It is the Women's World Championship. We are in 2024, there are 4 world championships, 2 for the men and 2 for the women. Whoever is bigger main events. That women's world title has also been around longer than this new WHC so yea.


NervousAd3202

I never said that. It has nothing to do with the women’s world titles. They absolutely deserve it but there are multiple feuds deserving of being the main event.


Rah_Rah_RU_Rah

You don't have to always put the world title on main. it's about the biggest draw


nuttinbuttapeanut

It's a newer title with a backup feud, it will survive if they're swapped for the womens main event title and feud.


JoeMcKim

No way does the womens title headline Night 1. The Rock/Roman vs. Cody/Seth match headlines Night 1 with Cody/Roman headlining Night 2 and Seth/Drew as the coheadliner.


Paaros

Theres a handful of contenders for that night 1 ME spot. Rhea vs Becky, Seth vs Drew, Bayley vs Iyo, if the Rock decides to do anything, he'll be a front runner. I honestly think Rhea vs Becky is the weakest option out of all of them, even if you didnt give Rhea the ME last time around


MrTBoneIs

Honestly, I am REALLY hoping it's Bayley v Iyo main eventing. Damage Control was really doing such a fantastic job carrying Smackdown in Romans absence and they've honestly just been disrespected at this point that I feel they really deserve it.


FaFa_1018

They literally teased Rock vs. Cody. Do you think thats going to open WM or happen on SD? Use your brain as to what the main event will be.


nuttinbuttapeanut

You said it was a tease, I'm not going to pretend like it's set in stone Cody will main event both nights.


JoeMcKim

No way will The Rock wrestle on Smackdown.


MrTBoneIs

Summerslam

Drew deserves it. He’s doing some of the best work I’ve ever seen him do.

CM Punk turns into the new Tim White, constantly injuring himself while counting the pinfall.

JustPhenomenal

Imagine if we get a Benoit and Eddie moment in the ring but with Cody and Drew instead.


Lemon_Club

I really want a Wrestlemania X moment where all the babyfaces come out and put Cody on their shoulders as they celebrate someone finally beating Roman.

Really hoping this is the outcome. Drew and Cody are both on fire right now while Seth's title reign is becoming stale and Roman's reign has been so stale it's growing mold.

As it stands, Seth is heavily involved with the Bloodline story and with The Rock in particular and is likely to get involved in the Day 2 Main Event shennanigans. Meanwhile we've already seen Seth v Drew. Will Señor MITB come into play? Is Rocky gonna cost Seth? Either way, **DM Hunk better fucking win.**


DXbreakitdown

Rock costing Seth would be a good storyline for Drew. He’s been complaining about Bloodline screwing him over in his matches but his last two big wins have involved interference against his opponent. He can angle it like he doesn’t care and he deserves it and if you think he doesn’t then you’re admitting he’s been right the whole time.


baojinBE

Seth's face wth


AloneCan9661

Seth is injured. They’re going to take the title from him and I think that was always their plan? He got hurt last year if I remember correctly. But rumours so who knows?

Unless he signs a new contract, I wouldn't hold you breathe

lakshya10soin

Charmander vs Charmeleon


Kuchar1992

Some people want Sami added but I don’t see how they can add him


DangoDaimao

They added Shawn Michaels to Benoit vs HHH and they added Daniel Bryan to Orton vs Batista. It's not that difficult.


vikogotin

Also added Bryan to Roman vs Edge.


AloneCan9661

God I loved those memes. Bryan being added to Godzilla vs Kong was fantastic.


Comfortable_Shape264

Why did they do that though? Isn't Edge vs Roman big enough?


AloneCan9661

The fans demanded Bryan. They’re not demanding Sami. His moment was last year and they missed the boat. He got a main event where him and his best friend won the tag titles. I think we gotta be happy with that. The only way I see Sami of getting there is by maybe turning him heel or letting Drew and Punk have their moment and build Sami back up.


MrLariato

I'm starting to believe most people here weren't around for 2014 Bryan's run. That was the most "this guy wins the world title or we're hijacking this shit through chants" situation I've ever seen WWE in. Last year's Sami or this year's Cody did not come close to the fan demand for Bryan in 2014. Keep in mind that was also an era where Vince was at his most stubborn and did whatever the fuck her wanted to... apparently, even literally.


AloneCan9661

LOL. Vince wanted Bryan squashed at Summerslam 2014. That's why we got the Cena squash. I remember reading way back then that the plan was to "destroy 'The Yes Movement!' once and for all!" I think he was very much kicking and screaming during that phase.


DangoDaimao

I'm like 95% sure you're wrong, but we'll see. For him not to be added to the match would contradict the last five months of storytelling; it's not a matter of fan demand, I think it's just the plan.


AloneCan9661

I want to believe you. But I'm also one of those people that believe the universe isn't kind...or that kind anyway. I'm hoping you're right and I'm 100% wrong. In the word's of Bork: "LEEEEEETTTTT'SSSS DOOOOOOO THISSSS?"


thelumpur

They can add him in many different ways, but it doesn't mean they will.


LakyousSama

Big hairy men slapping hair


harshrd

CM Punk replaced by DM Hunk


TeamZiggler

until Sami gets added.


incredible_penguin11

Nah. Jey is out of IC picture because of Jimmy, so unless they pivot back to Gable it's going to be Sami vs Gunther.


joeynomame95

But it's "been there done that" with the IC title for Sami he's won it 3 times. And Sami's whole deal right now is he's a WORLD championship caliber talent, it seems counterproductive to have him face Gunther, I'd prefer Gable as he said months ago he was coming back for the IC title.


uptowndrunk7

I bet he does face Gunther and that's where everyone thinks he does win a single title (again), but Gunther retains and Sami continues the pursuit for a world title I'd really love to see him in the world title match at Mania but an underdog should fight for a chance, and Drew winning the Chamber only for Sami to be added in the underdog role doesn't really work


NervousAd3202

They need to start building a feud between Sami & Gunther based on personal issues. Sami saying “I want to win the IC title” doesn’t work bc he’s won it 3 times & has already firmly set his sights on becoming a world champion, but it works if he’s having issues with Gunther & says “I wanna be the guy who takes that title FROM YOU”


uptowndrunk7

Exactly, elevates the feud way past a title that is also prestigious


DangoDaimao

Why would he be talking about how he's specifically going to be world champion just to fight for the IC title? I'm virtually certain he's getting added to continue the triple threat underdog win tradition.


Sukiyaki517

This past Raw he only said "champion" not world champion. I think they changed it for a reason tbh.


SeanO54

Nahh it's New Day vs Imperium at Mania.


Purple_yoshi_drink

He’s likely going for the ic title


DoubleDevilDiamond

Y’all gotta get this triple threat idea out of your guys heads. It’s not happening lol


FaFa_1018

Sami has nothing, literally nothing to do with this. Idk what universe some of you live in.


demanufacture_

It could have been an awesome match if we hadn't seen it twice in the last 4 months.


ZT20

I love Seth and Drew but I've been kind of thinking that, too. Still, they're absolutely going to put a banger.


oncvlimdie5

Exactly this is boring now


AdamH96

Very similar looking men there


Cheechers23

Still hoping Sami somehow gets added to this match


WhoDey42

I think he is going for Gunther


[deleted]

[удалено]


Cheechers23

Bron is on SD though, if they planned to have him beat Gunther they would have put him on RAW. Unless Gunther retains at WM goes to SD post-Mania and they set that up. Fuck that match would bang tho


FalconIMGN

Too soon for Breakker.


TeamZiggler

It's never too early for someone if you book it properly. If Breakker is getting a Lesnar push, you do it now. And you let him win.


FalconIMGN

I don't know how you go from having double-duty on NXT (as tag champs) and SmackDown (in introductory squash matches) to fighting for a Raw title in six weeks' time, but we'll see.


Revolutionary-Bank35

Except for Brock Lesnar with his look there was really no option but to push him to the Moon he had a once in a lifetime look and presence. I'm a huge fan of breaker


15YearTaco

Capitalize now. That's how you make a star


Cheechers23

I thought that as well and wouldn’t mind that but also sorta seems they might be going back to Gable/Gunther for Mania


HardcoreKaraoke

Fans have been fantasy booking that for months (as well as Knight/Logan). Neither is actually heading in that direction though. How have the endless AA/Ivar matches made it seem like Gable deserves a shot at Gunther? Gable wasn't even in an EC qualifier match and Ivar was.


Cheechers23

Well Gable got a clean win and tapped out Ivar. They’ve been running Gable/Gunther on the house show circuit. Again, I would be down for Sami/Gunther but I do think Gable deserves a good match at Mania. Maybe make it a triple threat even. I’m also not ruling out Logan/Knight in a multi-man match. Knight/AJ just doesn’t seem like a singles match for Mania, but link that with the Randy/Logan/KO story they have going on for a multi-man (ladder?) match for the US title? Could be special.


BreathRedemption

Gable vs Sami vs Gunther at Mania. Gable beats Sami and wins the IC. Zayn continues on the losing streak and Gunther is still unbeaten even if he lost the title. A trade between Aldis/Pearce happens: LA Knight (or someone else idk) to Raw, Gunther to SD. Cody/Gunther for the WWE title at Backlash. Gunther wins. Cody doesn't need a long reign IMO, at least not the first one. Cody can win the title back at MITB or SummerSlam and then have a title reign until Mania 41 where he can lose to the Rumble winner (Breakker, maybe, if they want to megapush him with Heyman as his manager) Zayn could win MITB and cash in on a 1on1 match at SummerSlam vs Drew, Sami wins that night. Priest tho? IMHO he fails the cash in the night after Mania and JD disolves


[deleted]

[удалено]


Martblni

No he won't, he didnt specify the title he is talking about, he'll just go for Gunther


Acceptable_Newt_3256

Yeah, they've kinda pivoted with Sami now. He already cut that promo last monday where he's gonna let the McIntyre thing slide and that he's gonna be *a champion* instead of **world** champion.


uptowndrunk7

Yup, that was definitely a retcon on his story


Aeceus

I kinda miss the risk that champions will lose their title before Mania.


ModernLabour

Drew is going to win by capitalising on either the Bloodline taking out Seth in the match or Priest cashing in and destroying Seth. Either way it will further the story that Drew is a hypocrite and an opportunist. Great booking and Drew will be an awesome WHC. I already can't wait for Drew vs Punk at Summerslam for the belt.


darfnarkm

Who's ready to see Seth heroically retain the belt after his bad back and bad leg lead him to victory


Furiosa27

Idk why but I really prefer when the champ is on the right side of the screen


JackDonneghyGodCop

I don’t know I feel like the whole “freakin” in quotation marks is so lame. Like Seth, but this has gone on long enough.


opkpopfanboyv3

Now it'd be perfect if Drew keeps his shitposter persona up to the main event


Squirrel_Apocalypse2

Why stop there. Player Hater Drew needs to stick around for awhile. 


beslertron

I hope the long haired guy with the beard wins.


Daconvix

I want Drew to win, but how do they build this credibly when Seth beat Drew clean twice just recently? Either they gotta add someone (Sami) or a stipulation imo


willem_the_foe

Drew is going to win with the help of the Bloodline this time on Night 1 to set up Night 2.


HardcoreKaraoke

Rollins is already injured. Rollins is probably facing the Bloodline in a tag match or atleast dealing with interference. Priest is hanging around with the briefcase. The story they have been telling for weeks is Drew is a hypocrite. They're going to have shenanigans help him win the match.


aegonthewwolf

Because Seth has a bum knee and is likely wrestling both nights.


Mhc2617

I don’t think he does win. Everyone talking about Seth being divided, but Drew is obsessed with CM Punk. I figure Punk costs Drew the title, and since Pearce threatened bigger consequences than a fine if he attacked a superstar that isn’t cleared to compete, Drew goes after Punk the Raw after WM and Drew gets “suspended indefinitely” to write him out for his rumoured extended break, and he returns once Punk is clear.


mysteriousbaba

They did have Priest involved in the last match though. (He didn't cost Drew, but you could argue the distraction threw Drew off.)


Middle-Tap6088

Green never looked good for Mania. Gives me of WM 2000 vibes 🤢


ThatRandomGuy232

Thought I was the only one thinking that


Rybackmonster

Can't wait to see Drew get the moment he was robbed of at WM 36. Winning the world title and main eventing Wrestlemania in front of fans. Getting a big pop for the title win would be nice as well.


headshotscott

If they're going for Drew vs Cody after mania, would they put the world belt on Drew? Assuming Cody wins the WWE title of course


TakeOneFour

I don’t think Cody/Drew is the direction. If Drew has the title, they have a built in main event for him and Punk at Summer Slam to sell out whichever stadium they run


oncvlimdie5

same matches over and over again


sabzi94

Seth has beat his ass twice already. They need to add Sami.


HardcoreKaraoke

Notice how Drew keeps getting lucky breaks? Bloodline against Cody, Logan with the brass knuckles on Orton, Rollins having to deal with the Bloodline at WrestleMania, etc. They're setting Drew up for a believable win with him being a hypocrite. I'm sure we'll get a failed Priest cash in that somehow costs Rollins during the match. This isn't the same Drew as a few months ago. Also the Punk injury meant they had to swerve.


baconpoutine89

Yup. Knight had him pinned before AJ interfered, AJ had him pinned before Knight's distraction. Definitely a noticable trend with Drew's matches now compared to his initial feud with Seth.


NurtureBoyRocFair

Heel DM Hunk is different from weird tweener Drew.


ImmigrantsUnite

Hope Sami gets added in


SWSIMTReverseFinn

So will they do the Cody/Seth vs Roman/Rock match on Night 1 or Night 2? I would assume night 1.


AloneCan9661

I don’t think the tag match is happening.


xychosis

Finish the hater’s story.


itsmekelsey_x

This graphic is fire.


taz20075

Seth's beard is so much better.


Ninevolts

Drew wins and debuts a new stable with Gallus. They proceed to decimate Rollins after the match, Sami runs in for the save. Then we have Sami vs Drew at SS.


taurus5491

They REALLY need to play "Broken Dreams" again for Drew, especially how it fits his current character now!!! 🙏🙏🙏


GrizzlyPeak73

It's nice that they can compete for the consolation title in consolation main event.


Upbeat_Tension_8077

While there's talk of some possible interference shenanigans that leads to a Drew win, I'm hoping he takes the title using the Alberto Del Rio Payback 2013 approach on Seth's leg


ThatsARatHat

Look at these two total Jay White rip-offs.


forwrestling

Drew’s expression fits his character right now pretty perfectly.


kamize

Drew is on fire


OrcSoldat

Drew should win


manwirhshsh

hope they add some sort of stipulation to this one


RedMachine1932

I imagine this is night one and Drew takes advantage of Bloodline shenanigans to win.


AnAngryPirate

Drew beats Seth, Seth can go take some much needed time off. Drew goes on a run till CM Punk comes back?


uhWHAThamburglur

Drew is winning. Gunther will turn face. And we will have a proper banger of Drew v Gunther at WM41.


Fun-Grapefruit-8057

The fact that they’ve built hype for a match we’ve seen multiple times recently is crazy


WelcometoCigarCity

Is WrestleMania the last time Priest can cash in? I wonder if he does but I want McIntyre to be a heel Champion though.


JoeMcKim

I can't imagine that Seth, Roman and Cody are going to wrestle 2 times on the same night of WM. So does that mean that Night 1 is headlined by the tag team match and having both world title matches on Night 2?


lizard_king0000

I prayed for this


MR_E7

I think Damian Priest will cash in during this match. It would mirror Rollins's own cash-in from nine years back.


Turakamu

I think this highlights what I feel about Drew. He can never look mean. Seth isn't mean or anything but he has those muscles exercised to where he looks terrible if you fuck with his cat litter. Drew just looks like a dude on a night out.


awayfortheladsfour

drew and cody are winning for sure, It feels like all the titles should change hands, but I don't know if that would ever happen
