I know people discussed the idea of Rock being 31 in the Rumble, what if Cena wins the Chamber only for Rock to impromptu challenge him for his spot and he beats John Cena for the right to face Cody?

    People have said, Rock could basically call up Triple H and be like, hey I'm doing Mania now and everything gets thrown out the window. He ends the video in a gym where he says he's going to work on his cardio... which he would need in order to do a wrestling match at Mania. What do you all think?

    When you mentioned one day vs day one, I thought you meant he'd be going after Jey.

      Re: WWE Off-Topic

      Carmella contract expired with WWE.

      Wonder if that'll be even more reason Graves could "look for greener pastures".

      Not that she was fired. She's been on maternity leave for a while and had health issues stemming from that, so I don't think she'd be continuing a wrestling career after that anyways. But if she's no longer officially with the company, perhaps that gives Graves more reason to see if there's better opportunities elsewhere. TNA might have been a decent choice since he'd instantly be there top commentator, but with the WWE deal, would it be awkward leaving WWE just to go to the company working with them?

        Following the journey of DDP helping Lex Luger, it's going to be something the day DDP posts the video of Lex walking again. I know he's also helping Butterbean as well, WWE should rename the Warrior award after DDP.

          If he didn't want to go to NXT, why would he want to go to TNA? That's a bigger step down.

          Have they even done the Warrior Award the last few years? It might be quietly retired.

            Depends on money and positioning in the company. If your employer doesn't see you as top 4 person at your job and you can be the #1 guy elsewhere for a comparable pay, maybe you consider it, all depends on what he wants exactly too.


            As for the Warrior award, it didn't happen last year but they did do it in 2023 for Tim White and 2022 for Shad.

            I'd love for them to bring the award back/renamed. Do it the way Warrior wanted it to be done, recognizing workers who'd otherwise never get recognition.

              An interesting turn of events, WWE ref Jessica Carr is changing things up and appears like she'll be moving from a ref to a superstar.

                WWE going back to Perth for a major weekend of RAW, Smackdown and a PLE. The UFC will be there in 2026. They haven't announced Backlash yet, could they get Backlash? MITB? King & Queen of The Ring?

                PERTH, WESTERN AUSTRALIA AND NEW YORK, NY – TKO Group Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: TKO), together with the Western Australian Government (WA Government), today announced an expansion of their partnership for Perth to host four additional UFC and WWE events through 2026.

                  I heard SA is getting THREE PLEs next year. The rumble obviously, I'd imagine they also get king and queen of the ring AND Crown Jewel.

                  Australia, probably Backlash? Not that it's cold, but June-August is their coolest time, probably better to do a PLE there in May so it's not so hot but not cool either.

                      That looks more like Sami Zayns kick than Sheamus'

                        Something you thought you never see, a Flair helping a Rhodes. Flair responded to Cena's heel turn and said he would help Cody fend off Cena to keep his record.

                            Interesting new Jade shirt with her in a bikini on a beach. I guess we truly aren't in the PG era anymore.

                              Well, maybe her being so damn muscular makes it seem less of a straight pinup vibe. Not that I think there needs be a justification for having that as a product beyond the obvious, but there are still people who are weirdly sensitive about presenting female wrestlers a certain way.

                                Now getting to the elimination chamber press conference.

                                HHH (jokingly) saying he wants to smack the guy who asked about monthly 2 night PLEs. Glad he's not a fan of so many 2 night PLEs. Rumble, WM, Summerslam are only ones that should be 2 nights. Even Survivor Series I don't think should be 2 nights.

                                Similar with stadium shows, he says stadium shows every month won't be special.

                                The schedule they've had the past year or two I've loved. So many international shows and then when they do go to the US again it's either a big arena or stadium.

                                Rock admits he listens to Sam Roberts podcast. People can say what they want about him, but he obviously does care a lot about wrestling still. He'll obviously keep doing movies for however long they pay him, but would love to see what could really happen if he dives fully in to being a big part of running WWE.

                                I'm calling it, Cenas theme will be some Cena/Travis Scott collab.
