Yeah I'm not a fan of it either tbh.

But tbf it does makes sense when you think about it. I mean the E could make out (in Kayfabe) that he's still an absolutely dominant elite tier performer, but you only have to watch him in the ring for a few minutes to see that he's (irl) absolutely washed.

This ain't the John Cena of 2012. It's not even the John Cena of 2019. Father time does no jobs.

I still hope he gets to face Cody at WM though, and that he beats him.

Cena in his late 40s now. Jericho at 54 is 4 years younger than Flair at his Mania 24 retirement match. Pretty wild how some are still going. Christian might be doing better than ever at 51 and Sting's last run was pretty good.

563,000 is really disappointing after 502,000 for Grand Slam Australia on the Saturday. I would have hoped that would have actually bumped the Dynamite rating pretty significantly.

Haha, review on Cagematch where the show is currently rated 2.17:

"This episode was quite middling but it became something truly awful when Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson came out and cut the absolute worst promo segment I've seen from WWE in quite some time. He came out announce that WrestleMania 42 would be held at the Superdome next year in New Orleans, which did pop the crowd. That felt unnecessary as you could've easily posted it online, but the promo became worse. He called out Cody Rhodes and in the most incoherent and confusing way possible, tempted to get Rhodes to join the dark side as his corporate champion. This felt like some out-of-nowhere, last-minute ****ery to garner interest and I think it failed on that front. This was honestly the worst episode of SmackDown this year and possibly one of the worst ever"

I feel like the story currently for Cody is a slow burn heel turn or a drastic character change, right after the Netflix debut episode where Rock and Cody acted all buddy buddy, Kevin Owens said something along the lines "Now you shake hands with Paul Heyman and on monday you shook hands with the Rock." which always gave me the vibe they're setting up Cody to have a drastic character change with Rock being the final element for it.

Heel turn for him wouldn't be a bad thing imo. His entire year/run as face champ has been pretty mediocre. But this feels a bit forced and rushed (and like Rock suddenly deciding once again he wants to be involved again, and creative being forced to accomodate this).

They may well pivot towards this and then say that was the angle all along. :laugh:

I was still hoping we will see something between Cena and Rock again after last year's WM.

I don't want Cena to go near the Rock

Me neither. My immediate reaction to Rock appearing in the segment with Cody is that this could severely derail any prospective Cody/Cena programme. This is something that (assuming Cody/Cena is the plan) must absolutely be avoided at all costs imo. The last thing we need as part of any angle regarding Cena's final WM is Rock forcing his way in and somehow making it all about him.
