    As far as I'm concerned, that never happened. Rock and Cena are not aligned, it was just a stupid thing that they did to turn Cena heel.
    At this point that's probably the best way to look at it. Until they have trouble selling overpriced nosebleed seats again and call Rock back in to pretend it was all part of a master plan.

      Yeah. I mean, obviously Cena and Travis Scott are unfortunately aligned. But to what degree? Who knows. I just wish Cena was solo in his heel run, but that back of the head thought of Rock and Scott is annoying.

        Should've used this for the heel turn

            I'm of this thought too and even said as much. They changed their mind and didn't really acknowledge it and we had to deal with the repercussions. But I want to hold their feet to the fire. It's a pretty big deal.

                    WWE:

                    Network content will move over to Netflix

                    Shows won't be restricted by the tv rating anymore

                    Smackdown will be 3 hours for now but will go back to 2 hours later this year


                    Reality:
                    The vault sucks with lack of content

                    Shows are censored MORE on Netflix than before

                    Smackdown is staying 3 hours permanently

                        I think I can speak for everyone when I say...what the **** is Furface? I remember a lot of short-lived gimmicks and I have absolutely no memory of this.

                          I'm curious if we are getting a documentary like we got last year about this year's Mania. Last year had the stuff with Rock taking Cody's spot, fans making their voice heard and forcing a "Pivot" and how Rock & Triple H tried to make it seem it was a work.

                          This year... we got the big Cena heel turn, but I imagine they might release it after Cena's final match or in the build up to next year's Mania since it's returning to Vegas again.

                            I feel like Cenas heel turn isn't really a full on heel turn. He'll reveal something about this heel turn that makes you think differently about it all (my guess from the start is him trying to get the fans to hate him so they won't miss him when he leaves).

                              Interesting comments from Jaleel White of all people commenting earlier this year about WWE/Netflix.

                              He was talking about being part of that real short lived Netflix show "The Big Show Show".

                              Of course, this show was airing in 2020, years before WWE on Netflix happened, but he mentioned that there were some tension between WWE and Netflix because WWE wanted to do more Netflix shows with other alumni, but then they ran in to issues such as who is paying what portion of the expenses to produce the show.

                              Makes me wonder what other shows WWE was planning to put on Netflix and who would've been in it. Perhaps some of those A&E shows were meant to be on Netflix?

                              Or how did that impact the possible relationship between WWE and Neflix until they actually reached that huge deal years later. Of course, it's a different group they were dealing with since the current deal is TKO and the last deal was Vince's team, but I remember HHH saying that Netflix (and other networks) love WWE because WWE is the one producing the content, the network just has to air it (unlike sports for instance where the network now has to hire their own broadcasters and camera crew and so on). So that could all tie in with the original story of WWE and Netflix having a deal originally fall apart because WWE wanted Netflix to pay to produce a WWE show.

                                In the context of "The Big Show Show" I would just assume Vince had dozens of terrible wrestler-in-a-sitcom ideas that Netflix didn't want.
