 What's good, Josh Boy Ross back again with another video. So we're going to check out the day one butterfly effect that changed everything by super kick studios. Some of you guys were wanting me to check this out. I definitely did plan on checking it out because day one for WWE this year actually did change the landscape of what may happen this WrestleMania season and I got to give credit to Triple agent creative for actually making the first Monday Night Raw of the year seen very important. It felt important. We got some storyline progression. We got some potential big money match teasing like they made it feel important and that's good when you can make your weekly television show feel just as important as a PLE. That that was that was the solid way to start off the WWE calendar year. So we're going to see what he has to say. Appreciate all love and support you guys have shown on the channel. Let's get right into this one. The date was January 1st 2022 the location Atlanta, Georgia the event the first ever WWE day one pay per view on this day a butterfly effect would take motion that continues to live on till this very day one instance that would change the company forever as the show went on the air Michael Cole announced that Universal Champion Roman Reigns had tested positive for COVID-19 and would not be wrestling Brock Lesnar in the main event of the show if you weren't also I think he's talking about this particular incident is crazy because I'm thinking he's talking about what happened with day one just for Monday Night Raw but he's actually talking about what happened with the day one pay per view and how it that actually changed the landscape of WWE that's crazy. It's crazy how things come full circle man familiar a butterfly effects suggest that the world is deeply interconnected and that one very simple occurrence can change the course of everything with everything linking back to if that one event either did or did not happen and in this case that event is Roman Reigns getting COVID and the main event never happening a very simple occurrence at the time but it shook up the WWE landscape forever. This was the big matchup that the show was sold on Roman had been holding the Universal Championship for 500 days up until this point and on screen the story was that Roman Reigns ditch Paul Heyman because he was a double agent for Brock Lesnar the key selling point was how Heyman was conflicted and where his allegiance really lied after he told Roman he was protecting him from Brock all that aside with Roman out Lesnar got placed into the fatal four way WWE title match making it a five way a match that let's not forget initially was supposed to be on one on one match after Seth Rollins won a championship contract on raw so we got to the end of the night at day one and in the main event Brock Lesnar ends up painting the WWE Champion Big E to capture his six WWE title thing is he wasn't supposed to win this title Seth Rollins was supposed to become WWE Champion and enter WrestleMania 38 holding that title but because Roman got COVID they changed course and still had Brock Lesnar win a championship yes I said still had Brock Lesnar win a championship because both world titles were supposed to change hands on this night Seth Rollins the new WWE Champion while the Universal Championship was going to go to Lesnar ending the 500 day reign are you serious I didn't notice wait a minute what no way that makes any sense no fucking way that was good what I did not know that I always thought the plan was that Roman was going to retain I didn't know that if that was the real plans I did not know Brock was going to win well that's a good thing it's kind of double-edged sword because I really didn't want Brock to win because then we ended up in the situation we got now where he had both the championship so that's the only problem I didn't know that of Roman Reigns a championship run that's now crossed well over into the 1200 Daymark something that wouldn't have been possible had Brock ended it right there the report also suggests that Heyman would have returned to help Brock because Heyman appeared with Brock the very next raw so in turn would you have baby face Roman Reigns right now they would have tried to turn on baby face that makes sense you know what that makes sense because at the time Vince was still in control that makes sense I never thought of it that way that makes it if Roman doesn't catch COVID he loses that title to Brock Paul Heyman aligns himself with Brock and now now he'll end up be Roman would essentially be a baby face because at that point he was he was kind of riding on that he was like the cool heel he would have been a baby face Wow and that's all Vince wanted Vince wants him to be he wanted him to be a over baby face I don't really know though the results were pretty simple at the time this change WWE forever because as the months went on that one announcement that one positive COVID test continued to change the company the plan headed into WrestleMania was always for Brock and Roman to main event night two but they were going to do it for the universal championship just a few weeks later Brock Lesnar ended up losing the title to Bobby Lashley because of Reigns's interference and since he didn't have a title Brock entered the Royal Rumble and he won this very well could have been Roman Reigns winning the Royal Rumble because at this point he wouldn't have had the universal championship and he wouldn't really be chasing the WWE championship either we also wouldn't have had that match to start the rumble between Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns which personally I think is just good storytelling so at this point it's important to remember that the titles were still split Lesnar was without a championship and could have just gone on to face Roman for one title but then the WWE handcuffed themselves some more since the extra WWE title was added into the equation they diverted back and had Brock win the title inside the elimination chamber just a few weeks later and they made this a winner take all championship match thinking that it would just make more sense to have both championships on the line when that WWE championship wasn't even going to be involved it was going to be Seth Rollins holding the title and probably facing someone from Monday Night Raw the same Monday Night Raw whose top champion was previously Big E and what happened to Big E had Brock not been in this match could have completely been avoided after losing the WWE title Big E wasn't given a rematch and he was instead moved to Smackdown to again team with the new date on the March 11th episode of Smackdown Big E and Xavier Woods took on Ridge Holland and Sheamus an attack team in a scary scary landing was dropped on his head by Ridge Holland following a belly to belly suplex gone very very wrong this caused him to break two bones in his neck and he later revealed that in his first doctor's appointment they told him that he avoided being paralyzed he avoided a possible stroke and even death that's how bad this injury could have been an injury so unfortunate that at the time of this recording Big E still hasn't returned to the WWE and it's been almost two years since it happened logic would suggest that had Seth won the title at the report suggested hell even one of the other two in the match that Big E would never go to Smackdown in the first place that the chase would have continued for him he would have been in the hunt for the WWE Championship or at the very very least still on Monday Night Raw and this incident would have never happened the WWE Champion head into Mania would have been Rollins who had his road to WrestleMania completely turned upside down yeah now should Brock have won the Universal title and Roman and Brock be the match at Mania the Royal Rumble winner probably would have been different to and that person would have gone on to challenge Seth Rollins the Universal Championship had enough and it didn't need the rumble so Seth's path would have been pretty straightforward going into Mania he's the defending WWE Champion but instead they were in a storyline where he just couldn't make it on to Mania every week he was screwed out of that opportunity and couldn't find a way onto the show eventually it was revealed that Seth Rollins would wrestle Vince McMahon's hand-picked opponent at the show and we all remember the rumors of Cody Rhodes at the time that he and Tony Khan had a contract dispute well when we got to Mania it was Seth Rollins taking on a returning Cody Rhodes yeah the butterfly effect continued to take shape in a weird way giving Cody the perfect opponent to make his return against and if Seth is WWE Champion at this point then Cody's return is probably against someone else yeah is it against AJ Styles is it against Edge who knows who this opponent is and who knows if they even run this storyline imagine if that moment is taken away or the subsequent match isn't to that same level things are not the same we got to give props to Rollins too in this scenario because he did a great job with the storyline that was presented had it been someone else would it have worked would it created a great feud between Seth Rollins and Cody Rhodes Seth Rollins being Cody's first real feud in WWE was great every single match they had was fucking great not have worked who knows also this was the first of a trilogy remember that iconic night in Chicago where Cody Rhodes marched into Hell in a Cell with a torn pectoral yeah well if Rollins isn't there if he's still holding the WWE Championship that's probably not happening so there's a possibility that some of the craziest moments that made 2022 so surreal are gone but we got to keep going with this thing we continue on with WrestleMania where on night two Roman Reigns became a double champion on a night that was supposed to just be for one title and wouldn't have had him at 500 days up until that point he became a double champion and now both titles were on Roman which let's be honest ended up screwing over Monday Night Raw which was left without a full-time champion if you remember what happened next things get a bit crazier Cody Rhodes opened up the Raw after Mania and his mission statement was very simple win the WWE Championship underline WWE Championship not the Universal Championship alternatively if someone from the Raw brand is the WWE Champion that rise that path may have been completed sooner rather than later also is Cody realistically there at that same point in time prepping for his Hell in a Cell match injuring his peck losing Cody for the rest of the year could have completely been avoided that's why it's a butterfly effect one simple occurrence can cause a huge ripple down what also would have changed was the main event for Summer Slam 2022 it was reported that headed into the event the main event was supposed to be Randy Orton and Roman Reigns for the undisputed WWE Universal title Randy Orton ended up getting injured at the hand of the bloodline if again things are different does that injury end up happening and we lose Randy for 18 months if Randy stays around do we get a rivalry between RK bro is the spotlight of Randy and Riddle being together enough to make riddle not get released from the company not get in trouble who knows so it would have been Randy and Roman as the main event of Summer Slam 2022 what would Brock have done in this case would we have the crazy tractor spot yeah also what could have been different is Austin theory at this point might have already had a WWE Championship reign in the summer of 2022 events continue to give theory a mega push having him win the money in the bank contract but he later went on to just cash in on the United States Championship and if raw had a full-time world champion maybe the higher ups take a chance and let theory become champion for a while and continue to show why he's the future but again that didn't happen if Ross still had a champion that would have been a complete possibility tracing right back to day one and that main event what ended up happening because both the titles were on one guy is as the days went on WWE started to become more and more reluctant to pull the trigger and the result of having one guy as the champion is the numbers started to inflate so a title reign that was supposed to top out at around 500 days stretch longer and longer and longer with that the bloodline story they had no plan I'm telling you they they booked themselves on the corner they had no plan so at that point once he had both the titles it was just we got figure we just play it by ear at that point but Austin theory wasn't gonna cash in on him we knew that wouldn't gonna happen and we knew it wasn't gonna be successful if he did so that's why they had him cash on the United States championship but if raw had a top champion at that time it's a little bit more believable that he could pull off the cash and yep we simply exploded that was the biggest beneficiary of Roman not losing at day one then WWE doesn't play Sami Zayn in that role of yeah comedic relief Sami Zayn then doesn't blossom into the superstar that he's become yeah have the tribal court segment you don't get the Uzi segment yeah crazy turn at the rumble gone the chamber in Montreal wave it goodbye yeah cuz Roman kept the titles and the number grew larger and larger the mystique grew so and that's the thing that's so it's a double-edged sword there's some negatives to it because obviously he kind of holds the titles hostage but but there's some positives to it because some mega stars were made Sami being a big star he was he became a big star because Roman was the champion Jay became a big star because Roman was the champion you know Cody in the hunt it becomes a big star because he lost got screwed out of it and now he's trying to get his redemption you know so there if Roman is not the champion for this long we don't potentially get these star making moments that's the double-edged sword there man you think that's connected to Roman probably isn't the same one of those matches is against Drew McIntyre at the castle drew is still yet to win a world championship in front of a live crowd and when WWE were in Cardiff it felt like the perfect opportunity but it didn't end up happening maybe an alternate universe drew McIntyre does win in Cardiff if there's a scenario where Roman lost the title gained it back at Mania the days would be a lot shorter so WWE wouldn't feel obligated to keep it on Roman heck even if it's not Roman maybe it's drew versus Seth maybe it's a triple threat maybe it's a fatal four-way where drew does end up capturing a world title and it's a huge feel good moment point is it could have been a lot different and the landscape would have changed a ton clash the castle was also the night where solo Sokoa debut does that debut happened to protect Reigns if the bloodline story isn't blossoming the way that it did what's so weird is the show is called day one the bloodline puts up the ones and this was the show that in a strange twisted weird way benefited them the most and helped continue a story that so many people coin as the best story of all time that bloodline story and Sami Zayn's involvement created a weird dilemma which could have been completely avoided and we could have had two different main events for WrestleMania 39 each with a different outcome earlier in the video I mentioned how if the WWE Championship was still on raw maybe Cody is going after that instead you got this dilemma where Cody won the Royal Rumble while Sami was so hot there could have been a scenario where Cody still won the rumble and challenge for the WWE title poetically winning it a year after he returned meanwhile Sami Zayn and Roman Reigns wrestled that mania crowning Sami Zayn champion which could have segwayed perfectly into the breakup of the bloodline even further and Jay versus Roman would have happened without a championship and it would have just been for the title of tribal chief if after that they don't want to keep running the bloodline story then realistically that could have been the perfect culmination it started with Jay and Roman and it ended with Jay and Roman WrestleMania 39 had Cody versus Roman in the main event with Roman Reigns retaining the championship again the WWE were handcuffed because at this point Roman Reigns was so so close to history he was at 945 days not that far from 1000 and we all know the WWE they love those huge headlines yeah also the night one main event a match which I know a lot of you love doesn't happen yeah you don't get that bromance between Jay and Sami you don't get the reunion with KO and Sam yeah there's so many different things that could fit into this but one of the weirdest yet almost satisfying occurrences that was the return of the World Heavyweight Championship a championship that again wouldn't have been around if we still had two titles the weirdly satisfying part is Seth Rollins became the first ever World Heavyweight Champion the same dude who was going to win the WWE title in the first place it's just been so so glitched a lot of fans have been enjoying the WWE lately and there's a lot of good that came out of this butterfly effect but it's crazy to think how much different things could have been if that one match just happened you could actually say that it's the biggest what if in WWE history the WWE we have right now almost in a strange way was never meant to happen yeah Big E probably isn't injured Seth Rollins isn't there to slot in as Cody's opponent the rise of J Uso is completely different the Summer Slam main event never happens Roman might be a baby face the World Heavyweight Championship and women's World Championship are not a thing and there's so many what ifs and then if this happens and if this happens connected to this that you could spend days diving into the scenarios but it stemmed from one simple occurrence that changed the timeline of the company after day one 2022 nothing was ever the same no fact this is a great video I thought he was more or less going to talk about what happened at Monday night's raw Monday night this past Monday night raw day one which has created somewhat of a potential butterfly effect with the rock being there and what they have implicating what can happen with the main event but he's talking about this and this is honestly has shaped everything else is something about these day one events whether it's a Monday night raw day one or WWE PLE day one is something about them that they just seem very important but that's crazy this moment changed everything when you really think about it him catching COVID changed everything that's insane that's wild how one decision can change so many other decisions that's insanity comment down below let me know how do you guys think things would have been differently would have been for the better would have been for the worse if Roman Reigns didn't catch COVID that day that night and he loses the title to Brock do you think that would have been the best decision for him to lose the title to Brock at that particular pay-per-view if the reports are true and him turn babyface from there do you think that would have been a good idea in the grand scheme of things do you think that would have been the best decision let me know down below but I appreciate all love support guys show on channel wrote 250k and I'm still appreciate y'all kicking in with me see y'all next one peace
