Either that or Tom would’ve blown it all on filling the Royal Rumble with every retired wrestler he can think of, and booked Repo Man to win as a personal favor to Simon Miller.
Honestly - the first half of Adam's pitch is very solid. I would lean into the drama: Cody has been ousted from the Wrestlemania discussion, fighting Midcard people in the interim. Mid February, Rock and Roman sign the contract for their match. The contract is actually stipulated that Roman agrees to fight the Rock for the Head of the table, not for the Rock to take Cody's title shot based on his Rumble win. Rock points this out, Cody comes out, and Challenges Roman for the title on Night 2. Night 1 plays out with a Roman win as he's crowned the undisputed head of the table and all of the Anoai family bow to him. However, instead of Hell in a Cell, I would make Night 2 an unannounced Lumberjack Match. All of the Anoai Family + Paul Heyman's backroom agreement with the Judgement Day come down the ramp towards Cody standing by himself in the ring. After the in-ring announcements, Jey Uso's music hits and down the ramp come him and all of the company babyfaces + people Roman has beaten during his reign: Randy Orton, Sami Zayn, Kevin Owens, Xavier Woods, LA Knight, etc; all of these characters from this long form story and all of the Anoai Family surround the outside. The bell rings. Only way to get around the interference problem is to lean into it and level the playing field. This bloodline story has impacted the entirety of WWE for years - this is the culmination of that story (and Cody's) - If Roman or Cody want to win, it's gotta to be in the ring. Either way, points to Adam for a killer pitch!
@@lightninlarry8936 it ain’t original, but Avengers Endgame proves it works. Plus there’s something awesome about each side cheering their man while Cody and Roman have their match that bring it full circle.
Ehh idk bout this one, cuz what do u do with guys who’ve done heel turns after facing Roman like Drew? Also, not everybody who was involved really needs to be as they ain’t all central characters, like be fr do u really care if The New Day have Cody’s back? Plus, lumberjack matches suck, and Roman and Cody have both proved they can put on classics inside HIAC
@@ronakkakar7893 honestly I don’t disagree with any of these points. In terms of the people who have become heels, you can make the same argument for those you think are unrelated like Xavier Woods. Turning heel doesn’t constitute anything related to the bloodline. But everyone else has either been in the fatal 4 way at the rumble, have fought the bloodline throughout the last year, or faced them at WM39 so there’s a thread to be pulled. And I don’t think match types are bad by themselves, I think they can be poorly done or written which makes them inherently bad - but there’s too many people over the year that this entire story involves and I think fans would recognize their relevancy. But you do bring up good points in terms of dipping too deep into the roster pool.
This is ridiculous. Roman main eventing both nights is BS and screws over Seth who deserves to main event night one. The World title needs to main event night one.
The first pitch idea is amazing, I would change HIAC to no holds barred match. The second pitch is a longggg game, where the rock becomes the new corporate Vince character and I like it.
A no holds barred match against Roman would basically mean a 3 on 1... Which certainly would stack the odds against Cody, but if Cody won it would BURY The Bloodline and make them look weak. So a no holds barred would mean Roman retains essentially.
The World title should main event night one uf the WWE wants to put it on the same level as Roman's title. Also, Seth deserves to main event night one and shouldn't have it taken from him.
@@yomamasofat77 punk was the only reason why seth was getting main event him getting injured changes every scenario WWE wanted credible opponent for both roman and seth so they both main event so they decided to make rock vs roman happen this year and Cody goes against seth for whc. If Cody chooses roman then chances of seth main eventing is 50 percent unless Becky vs Rhea didn't happen in night 1
All you need is Rikishi to Run over the Rock to solve everything before the start of Night 2 of WM. They already would have their $$$ that they were expecting for putting Rock vs Roman in the main event and then could push off that match until SummerSlam.
Adam’s pitch was 99.999% spot on… all I would change would be the match from Hell In A Cell to a Lumberjack Match but almost a reverse Lumberjack.. there not there to stop them getting out the ring.. they are there to stop people getting in.. and who are the Lumberjacks.. everyone who Roman has faced through the title reign.. and to give it one more big WM pop the lumberjacks include people no longer with the company with the crowd going wild as the likes of Edge and Daniel Bryan come back for a one off appearance…
How to improve every pitch; Adam - Cody faces Solo Sikoa on WM night 1 (so both men have had matches on night 1, and it means no Bloodline can interfere otherwise Roman will be stripped of the belt) Andrew - Vin Diesel attacks Cody at WM, allowing Rock to win. More adversity! Jack - We start this chapter at the rumble. Only Cody & Solo remain, Roman and the bloodline storm the arena and attack Cody. Then, IF YA SMELLALALALALALALA, The Rock enters, with Roman shoving him in the face and telling him to Acknowledge Him. The Rock raises Roman’s hand just like in the rumble of 2015, but all of a sudden hits a Rock Bottom! “Finish…your story!” The Rock & Cody take out the Bloodline, with Cody eliminating Solo and winning the rumble for the second year in a row. Cody wins at Mania, under the stipulation that any Bloodline interference would result in Roman being stripped of the title, where Cody pulls a 2014 Rock and continues the match after the interference. Cody defeats Roman. Roman vs Rock will occur at Summerslam for the title of Tribal Cheif.
Is it just me or does WWE do some nonsense this like every 10 years? They did it in 1993/1994 when they did Bret Hart dirty after WM IX by making him the champ the next year. Then they did it with Benoit in 2004 when HBK and HHH used their political stroke to make it a (admittedly good) 3-way-dance. In 2014 they did it with Daniel Bryan when the Brass saw Batista as the WM headliner despite the public was 100% behind the "Yes Movement." In all 3 situations, WWE pivoted and did the right thing. So despite all the backlash with Cody being done dirty and a 51-year-old Rock, who hasn't wrestled in over a decade (the Rowan match doesn't count) being shoehorned into a main event slot with limited build; I still remain blindly optimistic that WWE will pivot and cater to what the FANS want to see, because they are the ones who will keep on investing after the mainstream press moves onto something else. That or else, it's all just wishful thinking haha.
It's truly some of the best ideas I've heard in the midst of all the crying. I love the 1st and 3rd ideas, but I think a combination of the two is what will happen. Cody said , "Not at Wrestlemania" because of what the Rock told him, and he will challenge Seth. Unknowingly, Punk will give his Chamber spot to Cody for all the reasons you've stated, and Cody will prevail at Elimination Chamber. Cody will then challenge Roman at Wrestlemania, validating the pointing emidietly following the Rumble. Cody will beat Seth to open night 1, but Damian will cash in and win. Taking the World Heavyweight Championship off Cody and doing something for Senior Money in the Bank. Rock vs. Roman will close night 1. Cody vs. Roman will close night 2. Both Roman and Cody have wrestled twice, so they are on equal ground. The fans get both dream matches. Cody wins. The story is finished.
I hope Rollins comes out on Raw tonight and tells Cody he doesn’t want to fight him any more. Tells him he’s disappointed that he just handed a Wrestlemania main event to The Rock and that he’d never respect someone who’d just walk away from the thing they fought for and earned. Then Punk does the same thing maybe the following week
This was great! All of you guys are great storytellers and each story had something genuinely hilarious and captivating. If the irl story goes to shit Im binging on this video to cope.
Cody should challenge for Romans title in elimination chamber. After consistent interference by bloodline (as usual) and Cody fighting his heart out and still not getting by (again due to constant interference by the bloodline) , the rock comes to even the odds. He fights with Jimmy and solo and takes them away from ring and Cody gets his win and gets the title. Now WWE can build up Roman vs Rock at WrestleMania without the title and Cody can challenge Seth for world title at WrestleMania targeting for 2 belts. In WrestleMania they have a kinda 5 star rating match with multiple nearfalls but in the end, priest cashes his money in the bank and wins. No one's character is hurt. Fans get to see Cody end his story. Rollins gets his match with Cody at WrestleMania. WWE gets Roman vs Rock and all the money and brand deals along with.. win win situation for all..
Reigns wrestling twice in two nights is the worst pitch. How often has he wrestled twice in two weeks? Whoever faces Reigns last and wins looks like a chump against a weakened Reigns. Regardless of interference or not. To beat Reigns and not look like an idiot, you have to beat him fresh and also deal with Bloodline interference. That's the corner WWE have painted themselves in.
All they could have done was have Dwayne vs Roman Day 1, Roman wins clean and have Cody vs Roman Day 2 and Cody wins Then next year can be Disgraced Roman vs The Rock all year for Mania 41. Easy peasy, we all win. Roman Reigns isn't losing anything to Dwayne Johnson at WrestleMania 40.
If it’s true the messed up reason that the rock Roman is happening this year is the fact that the rocks pay from TKO is contingent on him showing up in the ring this year. So as much as we want to say, the rock is screwing Cody it’s TKO that is screwing WWE.
Madison Square Garden pitch. In story have Cody say the reason he doesn't want Roman at WM is that he now because wants to wait for a more personal venue and wants to win the WWE championship in the same building his Father Dusty Rhodes almost won the decades ago. Madison Square Garden. Cody will explain to the fans that he made a deal with the Rock trading his WM spot because he is a director a broad that he and WWE will give him his title shot at Madison Square Garden later in the year in a special event PLE. A special one off PLE and make a really big deal about it. Or if not, a big PLE like Summerslam. Cody goes on to win the championship in the same building his father didn't.
As much as I enjoyed all these pitches, I do think this seems the route WWE will end up taking. Cody over Roman at a special MSG event. Whether a one off or maybe Night of Champions.
Drew wins the belt and keeps it until Punk returns because all of a sudden I feel Drew vs Punk is better than Rollins punk for he's return he can face Seth anytime
While you’re making Andrew’s song into a short, is there any chance you could make one of Tom not saying anything when Jack tries the slogan, but then says it on the podcast? Jack’s expression tells quite the story… Also, great video, great pitches, I think I prefer Adam’s, but let’s face it, they’re all a lot better than what WWE will actually do 😅
The Rock will be special guest ref - the Rock and Roman will have a contract signing - Roman doesn't bother reading it and wiseman doesn't either because they are confident - the Rock says that he should've read it - Cody's entrance music plays - the Rock reveals Roman signed a contract to face Cody with the Rock as the ref - the key being the Rock saying a head of a table doesn't need any help - or can build tension between the rock and Cody because the wiseman can be seen trying to convince the Rock to help Roman and it sets up the Roman vs Rock match as well as the third fight between Cody and Roman at MSG in a last man standing match
the first pitch is great, but make it a lumber jack match where all that have been screwed by interference from the blood line make sure that no one else can get in the ring, Jimmy comes out from under the ring only to catch hands from the enforcers, solo comes down the ramp and yet sammy gives an immediate hullava kick, Cody gets two off a disaster kick, gets speared by RR, then counters a superman punch to go into a cross roads 1,2,3 new universal champ
Andrew's song at the start was just amazing. And I noticed, during the catchphrase, that Tom was being a bit cheeky and switched a couple of letters around 😅❤
Night One WM: Seth Rollins v Cody Rhodes for the title. Cody enters and does not throw his belt into the crowd, he kisses it and leaves it in the corner of the ring. Match goes 45 mins and is an absolute classic before a battered, bruised and tired Cody wins. Before he can even have the title handed to him Judgement Day attack and Priest cashes in leaving a distraught Cody in the ring. He looks broken, leaves his belt in the middle of the ring and leaves. Night Two WM: At the start of the show there is panic from the announcers. The camera cuts to the back where Jimmy and Solo are attacking the rock with weapons leaving him in an absolute wreck. He is ambulanced away and the main even is up in the air. All night there are cuts of HHH, Nick and Adam panicking phoning about to see if The Rock is making it back. The Main Event arrives and Roman heads to the ring, taking an absolute age. He looks smug in the ring and the crowd are HOT. All of a sudden, ITS TIME TO PLAY THE GAME!!! HHH enters with Cody's belt in his hand. After staring down Roman for a good 2 minutes we get 'WRESTLING HAS MORE THAN ONE ROYAL FAMILY'!! Cody beats Roman clean with Sami and Jey taking out Jimmy and Solo. Cody finishes the story and we get Rock v Roman at Summerslam.
I re-watched the clip from Smackdown and I find it interesting that the live crowd seemed to be popping for Rock vs Roman when they had their face to face staredown. All the while, the online community has been up in arms about the whole situation. I say if Cody had won last year, this wouldn't be a problem right now and Rock & Roman could still have their WM showdown - they don't need the title to tell this story.
I like the first guys script. What would make it better would be if Damien Priest quietly cashed in his MITB contract and pins Cody taking his title away kind of like how it was taken from Dusty.
Just cause of Andrew's intro song I liked the video, subscribed, rang the bell, share the vid and irl clap after the song was over. 11/10 would sing again.
My simplest solution is just: >Work a re-injury angle to take Seth off the established Mania card >Cody goes back to Rock and Roman and says "Seth isn't available, but I won the rumble, so it looks like you're stuck with me after all". >Triple threat >At Mania, Seth gets in the ring to cut a promo, and Priest cashes in on Seth.
I mean, he would be off the 'card', but he still wrestles a match at the show? It would be more so that he's off of the marketing. I agree Seth and his contenders would hate this, but I don't know. It seems like it would at least have much smaller issues than the current ones.
Do you understand simple heel/face dynamics? Cody is a face, he needs to beat Roman & the Bloodline clean, without help - because if Cody gets assistance, it gives the heel the easy road to say "you couldn't do it on your own" and makes the face look weak. Heels are weak individuals who cant do anything on their own claim greatness, i.e. the entire Bloodline story.
@@jrod2510not really, if the face has overwhelming odds against him, an equalizer doesn't bury the face. Like when Austin helped Rock win against HHH by hitting steel chairs on everyone in the McMahon Helmsley faction
@@vb2806 Seriously trying to compare 0 time champ Cody to established legends and candidates for GOAT status who were at their peak? That's like some TK levels of nonsense
I LOVE LOVE LOVE your pitches🤩🤩🤩 hear me out: what if…. As Cody wants to take everything from Roman, he struck a deal with Rock: -Rock v Roman for the “Head of the table” position at Mania, no title on the line: a)Rock never mentioned being interested in the title; b)Only a bloodline member can take away that position from Roman, Cody can’t, so Rock could be the perfect person to do that; -Jimmy and Solo abandon Roman (maybe Roman tries to sacrifice them in the Mania match and they leave him alone, seeing him as weak and not worthy of being their Tribal Chief anymore); -Cody challenges Seth at Mania and wins, but Priest comes out and cashes in to win the title. Roman breaks Hogan’s record, then Cody comes knocking and wins the title. What do you think?
Brought here by the RU-vid short, but have watched a few pitches videos. Andrew Dingle is booker extraordinaire. My guy needs to get hired. Buy some wrestling company.
Fuck me sideways and call me Gertrude, you guys really outclassed yourselves here! Adam's pitch is top tier! I can see Tom's pitch happening in a 2009ish era. It's so silly and so damn good! Same for Andrew. The "I did it for myself" killed me!
Commenting two minutes into the video so a similar pitch might make me look a fool, but I’d have Rock/Roman happen anyway, and have Roman pin The Rock clean, and cement himself as the head of the table. Don’t care what happens in the intermittent year (although it’ll be some combo of Roman beating everyone). At the Royal Rumble 2025, have Roman do what Brock tried to. Start at 1 and go the distance so he can take the night off at Wrestlemania. He does it but not without one piece of drama in the Rumble. Cody is due to come out number 15 or so, and we cut to backstage. He’s been taken out by Solo or any minion for Roman. Roman does win the Rumble, but only beats 28 other man. The next night on Raw he proclaims he’ll be taking Wrestlemania off, when he is interrupted by a battered Cody Rhodes, who says Roman never threw him over the top. Roman laughs and says if Cody can throw him over the top, he’ll give him the main event, but Cody is in a bad way. Roman obliterates him. Superman punches, Spears… Roman wants to hurt Cody. He lines him up on the ropes and goes for a clothesline out, when Cody drops and Roman goes tumbling out of the ring. Cody is going to Wrestlemania. Then finish the story blah blah blah. Feels like a good way to get Roman/Rock out of the way before Cody, and gives us a Rumble that’s a bit more interesting than the stale one we got this year
Finishing the story Cody Rhodes did come back into the WWE going against Seth Rollins..... finishing the story don't have nothing to do with Roman Reigns..... there is a world title on Raw seems like don't nobody care about that belt... ain't nothing wrong with Cody winning the world title proven that he can be a World Champion that can carry the show....with out Paul Heyman & Roman Reigns WWE will not be as good as it is now ☝️ Roman doing something that's going to be remembered.... if cody win it 1 time y'all will forget about it.... people wanted Drew McIntyre to be a champion at this point I'm sure they seriously don't want him to be the World Champion
Have Reigns beat Rock, then the Bloodline beatdown Rock. HAVE Rhodes and Jey Uso make the save. Then, as Reigns walks off with his music playing, have Rock tell Rhodes to finish the story, that WM40 isn't quite over and that Rhodes is STILL guaranteed his title match. Rhodes beats Reigns, with Jey Uso and Sami Zayn fending off Jimmy Uso and Solo Sikoa.
I came up with a pitch in preparation for this video, and it's quite a simple one really: In the run up to Wrestlemania, everyone is questioning Cody each week on who he's going to pick for his title match. Cody doesn't give a definitive answer, says he needs time to think of his decision, and subsequently starts no showing episodes of Raw and Smackdown. The attention on Cody slowly fades on TV as we get closer to WM40, with more story building and hype being put in place for Rock and Reigns. The main event is Rock vs Reigns, and it's gonna be huge! Going into WM, Night One finishes with immense success and Night two draws closer. Night two begins, we see fantastic match after match action from everyone on the card, and then we finally arrive at the main event. Rock makes his entrance to some cheers, and some boos, electrifying the building as best as the great one does. Reigns takes even longer than usual to enter, and upon entering the ring the introductions are made. The match begins, similarly to Rock and Hogan, the 2 stare each other down for a long long time, and the crowd goes wild. Reigns starts off strong, wearing The Rock down and down, slowly dismantling him to the floor, Rock makes a big comeback, the crowd goes wild as The Rock is laying the smacketh down on Reigns, until eventually, ref bump, Uso and Solo enter the frame and beat Rock back to the ground. Reigns goes for a big spear to finish the match, but.. SPINEBUSTER!! PEOPLES ELBOW!! when going off the ropes, uso pulls the rope down and rock tumbles out of the ring, he gives Jimmy a rock bottom on the outside of the ring. Solo runs in to spike Rock, and Rock gives HIM a rock bottom outside the ring. Rock is exhausted from the beating he has received and tries to capitalise on the situation by getting back in the ring and finishing his people's elbow. HE LANDS IT! but the ref is still down! Rock tries to help the ref back onto his feet, and once the ref is up, Rock turns around into a spear from Reigns. Pin... 1, 2... Rock kicks out! Rock staggers slowly back to his feet, trying to carry on, reigns goes off one rope, under a clothesline, other rope and spear. Pin... 1, 2... 3 Reigns has defeated his cousin, and starts to mock The Rock in the ring, Uso and Solo get involved too beating down the Rock on the mat. Reigns grabs a microphone and says "You think you could beat me? I am the head of the table! I am the Tribal Chief! I could do this ALL DAY! I could beat you again, and again and again, no sweat!" (insert babyface tag team here) runs down the ramp to try and help the rock from the beatdown he's getting from the Bloodline, slowly taking Solo and Jimmy to the back and Reigns stood over the Rock. The screens go black, and the lights go out. On the screen we see the following words flash up "Crowd is here" "About to blow" "Waitin' for me to start the show" The crowd go wild, but out walks Triple H with a microphone in his hand, he says "Wrestlemania... ARE YOU READY" the crowd cheers, "I can't hear you Wrestlemania... ARE YOU READY" and the crowd goes louder.. "FOR THE MAIN EVENT OF THE EVENING!!" Cody's Music Hits, and the crowd goes wild and out walks a determined Cody, ring gear ready, fireworks, co2 jets going mental He takes the microphone from Trips and makes his way down the ramp and into the ring where Roman looks dazed and confused. Cody grabs the mic and says "I won the royal rumble, and that gives me a title shot at Wrestlemania" Roman points at the rock on the floor and shrugs at Cody, shouting at him "I picked YOU from the start Roman! I pointed at you after I won the Rumble! That was my decision! and seeing as you said you could do this all day... now I'm going to finish my story" We then get treated to one of the greatest WM matches of all time, culminating in an exhausted Reigns trying to fend off a fresh and fighting fit Cody, Cross Rhodes number 1, Cross Rhodes number 2, and Cross Rhodes number 3 off the middle rope. Pin... 1, 2, 3! Rhodes wins!
Corporate Rock coming back to lean into the current backlash he is getting online to make Cody's life a living hell on the road to wrestlemania would be awesome NGL. Idea 3 is awesome. Id love for Punk and Seth endorse Cody going after Roman. Perhaps even Sami and Jey could give him a pep talk in a couple of backstage skits tonight.
My pitch: Cody v Reigns with the Rock as the special guest referee. Rock can literally keep any of the usual outside interference from happening. That's it, that's the involvement that Rock has. Now that said, I really am kind of okay with the Rock v Reigns because it's clear they're pushing Reigns as the man that will beat Hulk's record, so I just don't see him actually losing until he passes that record later this year. It really has been a completely miserable title reign though, plagued with constant outside interference and straight up not actually defending the title. Roman looks to be THE weakest champion of all times, unable to actually win on his own and too scared to actually defend the title regularly. As for the whole Seth situation, I think they just need to finally pull the trigger on putting the title on Priest. He's had that MitB since July and has fake cashed it in way too many times. Let him be the heel he needs to be. Have Seth defend the title against Drew, have it be a match where they clearly push each other to the absolute limits, and then last second have Priest cash in and pin Seth. This then sets up a Drew v Priest story line where Drew does his "You stole this from me" behavior and goes after Priest heavily.
All they need Cody to say is, "I'm not taking your title at wrestlemania, but I am getting the main event. Because you're not making it past the Rock." and we can forget this ever happened
I'm thinking he goes 'crazy' and starts rocking the opposite side facepaint of Dustin's, but in the style of Stardust. He first appears lurking around a TKO board meeting, either attacking during the meeting or as Rock steps out. Leans in on the side of with the facepaint. "You want to treat me like a joke?" To cut multiple paragraphs short, he begins to systematically target the Bloodline and Rock, eventually leading to the Raw at the start of the month to WM, where they decide to add him to the match in a contract signing. A pre-taped Cody promo pops up on the titantron, where he instigates a fight between the two. The Rock stands tall until Cody appears without the paint to take him out. As Rock lays there he kneels down, "All you had to do was stay in the boardroom." Onto the actual event, the usual interference starts until one by one, all the currently signed former challengers to Roman all pour out to deal with the Bloodline. Rock and Roman start to batter Cody for all the interference until one wrong move causes them to fight each other. Rock gets launched outside and into the melee. Roman ends up distracted, only for Cody to hit the Cross Rhodes and get the pinfall. Walking out the champ. Future plot of this is Rock vs Roman at Survivor Series. Seems like a better place for Roman to stake claim as Head of the Table considering that's where he made his debut.
NXT feels & looks like (WWF) 🤔🗯 Bron Breakker 💔, Trick Williams (🎲 🎲), Melo (😍) & Dragon Lee 🐲 are killing it! I'm looking for those Gangsta Factions......? The Family & The Under Boss are killing it 👊.... Where's Lash Legend 🌠?
Pitch: They just do Cody/Roman at Mania and Cody wins. Real pitch: basically the exact same as Adam's (minus the stupid interference bollocks and extraneous details that always make these pitches videos way too long) except I typed it all out before the damn slowpoke even got halfway through explaining his, then had to delete it all. BE BRIEF AND TALK FASTER.
Personally, I'd be fine with Cody winning the title at Elimination Chamber. People wanted Rock vs Roman at Chamber. If that's true, Cody vs Roman at Chamber would be just fine. Solo tries to interfere, Rock evens the playing field. Cody wins and faces Randy in the Main Event of Night 1. Rock then faces Roman for "Head of the Table" in the Main Event of Night 2.
Adam's is definitely the cleanest. Without Seth vs. Punk as Night 1 it opens up a slot. However I absolutely LOVE the idea of Punk encouraging Cody to finish the story.
I've never been a fan of The Rock. He's nothing but a catch phrase spouting CHEESEBALL who couldn't wrestle his way out of a paper bag! But now, he's my least favorite wrestler of all time! Go back to Hollywood, Dwayne!
My pitch, settle in, it's a long ride: Roman and The Rock does happen at Wrestlemania. The Bloodline shows up to do their usual shenanigans. Cody and Jey run out to battle Solo and Jimmy. They manage to keep the Bloodline engaged in a brawl while The Rock crawls back into the ring. He's clearly about to be beaten. Roman has picked Rock up and is berating him with his back turned to the ramp. CM Punk runs down the ramp, tackles Roman and does other smoke & mirrors brawling that don't aggravate his injury. Roman's down, CM Punk picks up The Rock, then puts him on his shoulders for the GTS. While both Roman and Rock are down, Damian Priest's musics hits, and he cashes in. Meanwhile, the other title picture: Gunther won The Elimination Chamber, and the buildup to Roadblock tosses the angry Drew McIntyre into the title picture. For Wrestlemania, Rollins, McIntyre, Gunther, and Cody end up in a Fatal 4 Way. Unlike the other title match, outside shenanigans don't occur. Gunther wins. Raw after Mania opens with Cody cutting a promo about how he won The Rumble and should have been able to finish his story and not been shuffled into a fourway match. He demands a match against the new Undisputed Champ, Damian Priest. The Rock comes out to deny Cody his match but is interrupted by Triple H and announces that the match at Backlash will be a Triple H Triple Threat with Priest, Cody, and Solo. Cody rejects the offer and says he'll meet whoever the champ is at Summer Slam. This will set up CM Punk spending months taunting The Rock while he heals. Roman is off TV for a few months, much like he is now. Paul Heyman continues the Bloodline title angle and since roman is away, convinces Triple H to make the Backlash match Damian Priest vs Solo. Priest finally breaks from Judgment Day due to a jealous Finn Balor. Gunther, now Heavyweight Champ, vacates The Intercontinental title so that someday he can go for it again, as he never technically lost it. At Backlash: Gunther easily dispatches Rollins in their Heavyweight Title match. Priest retains the Undisputed Title over Solo in a banger, but it's overshadowed by the finals of the Intercontental Title Tournament where, a recently returned Shaemus defeats LA Knight for The Intercontinental Title, due to interference from his buddy, Drew McIntyre. At MitB: Priest defeats Balor to retain the Undisputed Title despite Judgment Day shenanigans. Gunther defeats Chad Gable to retain the Heavyweight Title(the only man on the roster that's beaten him). No shenanigans. Shaemus defeats Drew McIntyre to retain the Intercontinental Title. Dirty Dom wins Money In The Bank defeating Cody and other impressive opponents. At Summer Slam: Gunther defeats Bronn Breaker to retain the Heavyweight Title but it's so close that they decide to run a rematch at Bash At Berlin. Ilja Dragunov defeats Shaemus to win the Intercontinental Title. Cody defeats Priest for the Undisputed Title. Dirty Dom's music hits but he's intercepted by the returning Roman Reigns who just demolishes him, and announces on the next Smackdown that he wants to face Cody in a Hell In A Cell Match at Bash At Berlin. Cody reminds him that his father invented The Bash. Also, The Head Of The Table (The Rock) announces that no other member of The Bloodline will be flown to Germany for the event, including Paul Heyman. At Bash At Berlin: Ilja Dragunov defeats Pete Dunne (fka Butch fka Pete Dunne)to retain the Intercontinental Title. Gunther defeats Bronn Breaker in another hossfight to retain the Heavyweight Title. Cody FINALLY finishes the story and beats Roman Reign to retain the Undisputed Title. There's a moment in the match where Cody and Roman are both down. Dirty Dom's music hits but this time, as he makes his way down the ramp, he's levelled by CM Punk who walks off with the briefcase. After Cody pins Roman for the three count, "Cult Of Personality" hits. Neither Cody nor Roman were at all aware of the CM Punk/Dom spot earlier in their match. So Punk saunters down to the ring with a mic and the briefcase. Dom rushes him from behind but Punk just flattens him with the briefcase and keeps walking to the ring. He puts the briefcase in Cody's hands and says "See you at Survivor Series. Friend." The Rock is seen watching a monitor backstage with Triple H. The Rock cocks his eyebrow. Triple H nods.
PITCH #4 Rock faces Roman... Roman Wins and declares himself the New High Chief...and goes on to Pass Hogan and is the Longest reigning champion in the Wrestlemania Era... Cody faces Seth and loses giving Seth his 1st win over Cody... Codys story is that he is going through Hard times...just like his dad. Cody eventually wins the World heavyweight championship from seth only for the MITB winner to cash in on him 2 mins after his win and takes his title away. NOW...accept it. Cry in the comments.
My pitch: Cody hits the 4th Cross Roads to finally pin Roman. “Finally Cody finishes the story!” Rock comes in, hits the Rock Bottom. Judgment Day music hits, Priest turns in his contract. Priest pins Cody. “You finished your story. The Cody Crybabies got what they wanted! Congratulations!” Makes Priest the heal that Cody chases. Cody is a better chaser than champion.
