 What's good, George will Ross back again with another video. So we're going to check out Cody signs with WWE Mustafa sends a message seeing punk and other wrestling news. This has been going crazy on my Instagram, my Twitter on YouTube. Everyone's been talking about it's been a reported leak that Cody has officially signed with WWE. So we're going to check this out man. Appreciate all the love and support on the channel. Let's get right into this bad boy, man. Hey guys, what is going on? This is WrestleMania back with another episode. WrestleMania 38 is just two weeks away, which means fans should expect plenty of fireworks on SmackDown, as WWE hypes its biggest show of the year. However, will SmackDown sizzle or fizzle? Join us now as WrestleMania looks at the 18th March edition of the Blue Brand, as well as the wildest wrestling news and rumors you need to know, including all you need to know about Cody Rhodes signing with WWE. Mustafa Ali warns wrestlers, a Kenny Omega surgery update and more. As always, WrestleMania won't recap the matches, but look at the good, the bad and the downright ugly. The good, Roman shows ass. Roman Reigns is a badass heel, but tonight, the Tribal Chief showed he's not afraid to show ass wrestling lingo for showing vulnerability. Roman Reigns talks a good talk, whether it's him telling everyone to acknowledge him or boasting he's in god mode. Nonetheless, he showed his true colors when he ran for his life when Paul Heyman informed him that Brock Lesbier was on the way to the arena. That didn't diminish Roman's character as a dominant heel, instead it helped build up his upcoming title unification match with Brock as it solidified the idea that Brock is his most fearsome opponent yet. Brock's out for blood, epic backstage attack. The Braun Strowman stuff where Braun was feuding Roman and vehicles being flipped over and stuff. I haven't seen something like that that was pretty cool. I like those type of vehicle segments. They're pretty cool. They're over the top a lot of times, they're very over the top. But it just gives, it's a nice little flair to see every now and then. It's been a while since fans have seen a backstage attack like tonight's epic angle where Brock Lesbier drove a forklift into the Bloodline's car. The Godzilla-sized forklift only took things further, as Brock drove its forks through the car's windows, giving fans the sense that Brock was looking to decapitate the Bloodline. Brock didn't get his hands on the Bloodline, nor should he as the fans have to wait until WrestleMania for Brock to exact revenge, but he did send them a message that he won't stop until he's destroyed them, the perfect setup for WrestleMania. Pat McAfee magic continues. And I did see his promo. I definitely enjoyed it. It's just that video of me doing my, you know, reacting to the different segments on SmackDown. It took me about three or four times for me to even upload it because the video kept getting blocked. If I would have added the Pat McAfee like promo to it, it would have taken me even longer to actually post that video because I would have to cut up that promo so much. You know, WWE, they're kind of strict on how much you can show of their content before they block it all together. So that's the only reason why I didn't put it in the actual video, but I did watch the promo. Pat McAfee's a gem, man. Pat McAfee cut a phenomenal promo tonight as management forced him to apologize to Austin Theory if he wanted to keep his coveted WrestleMania match. Showing he's a true student of the game, Pat set things up by expressing how much his dream job of calling SmackDown means to him, hence his willingness to apologize to Austin Theory. Pat's apology was as hollow as you might expect from a babyface dealing with a punk heel, and while McAfee apologized, he repeatedly insulted Theory until Mr. McMahon's pet project shoved him and dove out of the ring. WrestleMania has said it before, Pat McAfee's perspicuous passion for wrestling is infectious, and if his past in-ring performances are any hint of what to expected WrestleMania, Austin vs. Pat should be a fun match against WWE's some mainstream publicity. Kudos to Theory too as he's quickly becoming one of WWE's most promising young heels. I'm not expecting Bad Bunny to be as good as he was at last year's WrestleMania. Dude was fantastic. He was easily one of the best things about WrestleMania last year, just be honest. So I can see Pat McAfee being easily one of the best things about this year's WrestleMania. He is not that bad in the ring, and I know he's training, so that's pretty cool. Terrific tag team action. The WWE's build up for the women's tag team championship at WrestleMania continued with about between the team of Rhea Ripley and Liv Morgan, and the team of Sasha Banks and Naomi, providing lots of excitement. While the no contest finish of Natalya and Shayna Baszler jumping the two teams would normally put this in the bad, it was acceptable, as it upped the stakes for the Fatal 4-Way Tag Title match at Night 2 of WrestleMania. A real WrestleMania build up. Tonight's SmackDown was a fantastic show with plenty of action, and more importantly, plenty of build up for WrestleMania. Unlike this week's RAW, the blue brand gave fans plenty of reasons to want to tune into this year's showcase of the Immortals, whether it was Brock's attack on the Bloodline, the tag team turmoil of the women's division, or Pat McAfee's electrifying showdown with Austin Theory. The Bad. Where is the Ridge Holland storyline going? Well, Holland's alliance with Sheamus has shown promise things have stalled due to the introduction of Butch, aka Pete Dunne. Butch's addition has changed the dynamic and not in a good way, as it's unclear whether WWE wants to continue Holland's alliance with Sheamus, or use Butch to create division. Even worse, WWE has used the new day to put over Holland, and unless the promotion has a strong end game in mind for Holland, using one of its most popular factions to put him over could do more harm to Kofi and company than it will to help Ridge. Charlotte vs Ronda. Just not feeling it. I said this on my reaction to it, bro. I don't want to come off as a negative Nancy. Some of you guys say, oh, you only say negative things about WWE, but you say everything positive about AEW. Shut up. I say plenty of things positive, the things that I like about WWE, and there's just things that I don't like about WWE. Same thing with AEW. It's just as less things I don't like about AEW. Just be honest right now. And right now, this Charlotte Ronda shit is still, it's not hidden like it should. I'm sorry, it's not. It's not. It's not. Charlotte Flair vs Ronda Rousey, a seemingly monumental match as Rousey battles the most decorated female in WWE history. Unfortunately, the build-up has been as basic as it gets, with Flair repeatedly looking ineffective against Rousey. While the Queen has roughed Rousey up in segments outside the ring, the WWE has given fans no reason to believe Flair has any chance of defeating Rousey when she gets her in the ring. Rousey's tag match and elimination chamber shows she's ready, but the WWE has done an incredibly inept job of promoting what should be a dream match. The downright ugly. Nothing ugly about tonight's SmackDown and the blue brand came close to delivering a grand slam show. There was filler like the six-man match between Drew and the Viking Raiders against Happy Corbin, Jinder Mahal and Shanky and Los Lotharios putting over Shinsuke and Rick Boogs, but the matches did further WrestleMania's storylines and give the undercard TV time. WrestleMania is starting to look good, especially when it comes to SmackDown's matches. It's like an eye. It's like an eye. I'll say that. Cody Rhodes Assigns With WWE Topping today's news is a report from PW Insiders Mike Johnson that Cody Rhodes has signed with the WWE. Fans have been waiting for this news ever since Cody Rhodes left AEW, and rumours ran rampant that the American Nightmare might return to Titanland, possibly as early as last month's elimination chamber. Details are few, but Magic Mike reports Cody Rhodes has signed with WWE, multiple WWE sources have confirmed. Rhodes ain't his deal about 10-14 days ago. The current plan is to have Rhodes debut WrestleMania weekend, with the early word among those in the company being that Rhodes will be on the Raw brand. As always, plans are subject to Mr. McMahon's whims, but it appears the WWE's current plan is to surprise fans with Cody returning to WWE on the grandest stage of all. Whether this means a Mania match or something else remains to be seen. What do you think of Cody's move? Be sure to let us know in the comments. I get it. It's just crazy how things come full circle. I will say this. Can WrestleMania benefit from Cody Rhodes being there? Hell yes! WrestleMania needs something a little bit extra because a lot of these matches on paper is not really hitting like it should. And having Cody make a surprise appearance or surprise appearance would be perfect. Would be fantastic. And apparently he's supposed to be potentially facing Seth Rollins at WrestleMania. I think a lot of people would love to see that. I think that would be great. The only thing I'm concerned with and you have to be concerned with when dealing with WWE is, well, pretty much WWE's booking of Cody Rhodes. He needs to have full creative control. If he does it, it's dead on arrival. This is not going to work with WWE booking him like they did before. He needs to just have free range to do what he needs to do. WWE allows certain people in the company to have free range. When it comes to the Rock, free range. When it comes to Stone Cold, free range. When it comes to Roman Reigns, free range. That's kind of funny saying it like that. When it comes to Brock Lesnar, free range. There's certain people in the company they don't really give them a script. They just give them bullet points. They let them do their thing. Cody has to be that way. If he's not, you ruin them already. That's my only concern. Do I trust WWE? No. But we will see. We will see. One of the big questions concerning Cody's WWE assigning is whether he'll be able to continue his work as a judge on the Go Big show which belongs to WarnerMedia, the company that airs AEW TV and is arrival to USA Network's parent company NBCUniversal. Dave Meltzer discussed the situation on Wrestling Observer Radio and while he couldn't confirm Rhodes will be allowed, he did say again Go Big show and everything if that show gets renewed because I don't know the contract but I would be pretty sure he would work that into the contract, the things that he already had deals with. Where if it's a previous deal I could still do it as opposed to new deals obviously Vince McMahon would have to approve which sort of sucks when you want to be an actor and you're in WWE. Cody's interest in working in Hollywood is well known and he may have worked something out with WWE where he could take time off from projects like his reality show and the aforementioned game show. However, there could come a time when he's asked to step away from WarnerMedia related projects. Diamond Dave pointed out that NBCUniversal could have plenty to offer Cody in terms of outside projects. Maybe there's going to be opportunities from NBCUniversal for him now that he's got his thing. Fans are anxious to see how Cody is booked in WWE after leaving it as the business major role in launching AEW. And the WWE's willingness to let him work in outside projects may depend on whether he wants to punish him for his role in AEW or show potential AEW hires that the company is willing to let bygones be bygones. What do you think will happen with Cody? Let us know in the comments below. Mustafa's Menacing Message While Mustafa Ali hasn't been on WWE TV lately, the former Retribution Leader hasn't been quiet about his disgust with his booking. You'll no doubt recall that Ali has repeatedly requested his release from WWE and while the company hasn't granted it Ali's recent social media message suggests there's an awful amount of anger inside the talented star. A humble and fair warning as soon as all this gets sorted I'm going to absolutely body all your faves. Is Mustafa mean to murderize the WWE's favourite wrestlers? It sure sounds like it. However does this mean Ali plans on returning to the E and working a program where he tries to take out wrestlers or is he just talking trash while he waits Kenny Omega Recovering from Surgery Kenny Omega is a hurting unit but he appears to be on the way to recovery after working hurt for many months. This week's Wrestling Observer Newsletter reports that the former AEW World Champion is currently recovering from orthoscopic knee surgery. The recovery from this will take about 10 weeks. He will be getting surgery to repair his sports hernia at the end of March and that's about a 2 month recovery. There are other things he's also taking care of. There is no time frame set for his return. WrestleMania sends its wishes for a fast and full recovery. Hey man, he been carrying that company on his back for a long time as the AEW World Champion working injured. That's what you do. That's the nature of being a wrestler. A lot of times you're going to be especially if you're in a champ, you're going to be working injured. So, they took the title off of him. Now it gives them a chance to just heal up. Take your time. Heal your body. When he comes back the crowd is going to go crazy, bro. Free. Where's Punk? Last but not least, where is CM Punk? Wrestling's straight edge superstar wasn't on AEW TV this week leading to speculation about his absence. Dave Meltzer claims to have the dirt as he reported in this week's Wrestling Observer that CM Punk will be part of the filming of the second season of the TV show Heels on Stars. Filming is over the next several weeks. That may be why he wasn't on either show taped in San Antonio this week. Punk could make an appearance on AEW TV and even wrestle depending on Heels' schedule. Well guys, there you have it WrestleMania's look. Punk doesn't have to be there all the time, man. That's the thing about Punk. That's the thing about certain stars. You don't have to be there all the time. Gives the opportunity for younger stars to have their spotlight. That's my only thing. I think what he's doing that's fine. Do other things, take time off, whatever. It gives the other younger talent opportunity to shine because you get burnt out when you have something so much. Gives us an opportunity to miss him, man. And whatever feud they have lined up for him, I'm looking forward to seeing it. Comment down below. Let me know. Are you guys excited to potentially see Cody Rose at this year's WrestleMania? And are you guys potentially also excited to see him maybe wrestle Seth Rollins at this year's WrestleMania as well? Comment down below. Let me know, man. Your thoughts and opinions on that. But I appreciate all the love and support. Roll two. Appreciate y'all kicking me. See y'all next week. Peace.
