 What's good, Joshua Ross back again with another video. So I'm going to check out why the rock shouldn't be the one to beat Roman Reigns. This is a very, very interesting video. I've seen a few people feel like that the rock shouldn't be the one to even challenge Roman Reigns at next year's WrestleMania. I've seen a few people say that he shouldn't be the one to beat Roman Reigns. I've seen a few people that feel differently that rock should be the one to beat Roman Reigns. There's been a lot of speculations ever since he came back on, you know, well, recently, not even recently, it was like a few months ago when he made that special appearance at SmackDown, a lot of speculations of will he be the one main eventing WrestleMania against Roman Reigns? Will it be Cody Rhodes? And there's been that dialogue of if he should be the one to beat him or if Roman's going to beat him or, you know, just what's going to happen? So we're going to check this out. This should be a very interesting one. Appreciate all love and support. And let's get right into this one. If you want to see me beat this jabroni's ass, give me a hell, yeah. Is the rock really the right answer to dethroning Roman Reigns? By the time we reach WrestleMania 40 and let's be real, nobody's dethroning the tribal chief until then. They've touched 1,315 days as the Universal Champion. This means only Hulk Hogan, Bob Backlund and Bruno San Martino will have had longer world championship reigns. And to do it in the modern era is even more insane. There seems to be a common line of thought among fans yet again, that surely this time, WWE will put an end to Roman Reigns run as under. Yeah, we saw it. Well, we think we're hopeful. We're hopeful that's the case, but I don't know. The Sputed Universal Champion, we've seen him walk in and walk out as champion in three WrestleMania main events in a row, something that's likely not going to happen in our lifetimes. Before the match against Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 39 was made, there were longstanding rumors that WWE was planning a blockbuster match between Roman Reigns and his blood relative, The Rock. There's no disputing that this is the biggest money match that WWE could possibly. And I do think that's that's a main event worthy match is, you know, I just wish it would have happened at last year's WrestleMania. I think that would have been the perfect. Well, this year's WrestleMania would have been the perfect time to do it, since it was in Hollywood. And we've heard from The Rock himself that it was set in stone, but it didn't happen. Honestly, would I still be excited to see it if it happened at next year's WrestleMania for sure? But the result will most likely be the same. The result would be the same. It doesn't make sense for The Rock to beat Roman at this point in his career. It's not really wrestling like that as much. And if you're going to do this match, it would make sense for Roman to be put over. But I don't know, man, I just it would be a blockbuster match for sure. And I think we would all be excited. But I do feel like at some point they need to find a way to get the title off of Roman and we'll see how they plan that out. Possibly making the modern era. It's been a decade now since The Rock has even wrestled a match, but he revealed to Pat McAfee that there were legitimate talks of a match at WrestleMania Hollywood. He said, quote, that was locked. We were doing it. Let me just tell you, in the beginning of 2022, Nick Khan, he was very instrumental in bringing Vince and I together, flew to LA, broke out Taramana business, started talking the potential of the match. We shook hands and we hugged. Then we had a year. North Star was to do something unprecedented. End quote. He still went on to tease the possibility of it happening at WrestleMania 40 next year. And if WWE was able to make it happen, they will even at the expense of Cody Rhodes. Remember 10 years ago when CM Punk complained that his deserved spot at main event WrestleMania was taken from him just so WWE could do it once in a lifetime. Part two, the Rocks response was simple and realistic. The match that draws the most money will be the headliner and 2 million and 348,000 pay-per-view buys later. It was clear why the match had to be run back. Yeah. And it's one of those things where it's like, I know some people are kind of off the Cody train and some people still want Cody to, you know, be the one to do it, but I can tell you this now, if it is actually on the card, like on the table to actually be done in next year's WrestleMania, which means it is most likely going to happen if they have the opportunity to do it because that's the biggest match they could possibly put on. Well, there's a good chance Roman's not losing that title. Because I would just be surprised if he lost to the Rock. Very surprised. But yeah, Cody is probably going to get sideline because that's the biggest match they could put on in a match that's never happened before. So WWE is a business at the end of the day. And if they were so driven by the money that the Rock and John Cena could draw then imagine now when there's a parent company looking to recoup as much of their investment as possible. Yeah. CM Punk was deserving of the WrestleMania main event. There's no doubt about it. Just like how Cody Rhodes is deserving of the WrestleMania 40 main event, the only difference is that you're unlikely to hear Cody be vocal about his frustrations the same way Punk was. It all comes down to the money and the Rock versus Roman Reigns with drive fan interest up more than any other match could. With that being said, there's an important question asked. Does it make sense to have the Rock be the one to dethrone Roman Reigns? The answer is no. From one perspective, you could argue that the Rock has direct ties to the bloodline, but on the other hand, everybody knows that he will only come for a one and done. Yeah. This means that we may just see a fourth WrestleMania in a row where Roman Reigns walks out as universal champion. And what does that mean? Likely another four months minimum before we see Roman getting dethroned. Yeah. It's not exactly unfair to think that the bloodline story has fizzled out a bit this year. Well, it undoubtedly had its moments. Things haven't been as exciting for the last few months, especially considering that Roman Reigns has hardly been around and Jimmy Uso has tried to get back into the bloodline despite being the one who essentially broke it up. It's also still one of the weirdest conundrums. I could possibly think of storytelling wise. Why that even happened still doesn't make sense, but they're going with it. They they've committed to this weird booking decision. Not unfair to assume that the old story is on its last legs. Yeah. At this point, the mentality seems to be, let's just see it through and fill the gaps as much as possible until WrestleMania comes around. That's it. There's no doubt that Cody Rhodes is the more deserving superstar and is being positioned to be the one to finally end the run of the Tribal Chief. But could there be an alternative where Roman Reigns pulls double duty at WrestleMania? This may have to involve the match against the Rock not being for the undisputed Universal Championship while the match against Cody Rhodes, presumably on night one would be for the title. But this is an unlikely scenario and for good reason. By presenting it like this, WWE is essentially giving out the result of the main event both nights with Reigns likely losing to Cody on night one and most likely defeating the Rock on night two. Doing so, it also deprived raw superstars of getting that main event slot on night one. So the situation is a bit more complicated than you think, but in short, the Rock should not be the one to dethrone Roman Reigns for the simple reason that it will take away the opportunity to elevate another star and give them the biggest moment of their career. As of now, that star looks like it's gonna be Cody Rhodes, especially since WWE made sure to add Jey Uso into his story to ensure a seamless and logical transition into the rematch against Roman Reigns early next year. We've seen it time and time again with part-time stars taking full-time superstars spot and those days seem to be coming to an end slowly but surely. Do you think the Rock should be the one to dethrone Roman Reigns or should Cody Rhodes be allowed to finish the story? Let us know what you think in the comments below. Very interesting video and he makes some fair points. Um, I'm in the camp of I want, I would love to see that match Rock versus Roman, but it doesn't need the championship. It don't. Um, do I think he should be the one to dethrone Roman? No, it needs to be someone that's going to be on the show day in, day out. Doesn't need to be anybody that's going to be a part-timer. It defeats the purpose. It needs to be somebody that's on the show. But they, I think what they're doing is they're still positioning Cody in that spot. They're just trying to hold off time, but I think it's one of those. It's going to be an audible. If the Rock can can like for sure confirm, then they're probably going to go with the rock forces versus Roman and next year's WrestleMania. It's the biggest match you can possibly put on, but if it's not for certain, they still will be building up and teasing Cody, you know, trying to get his, you know, get his run back, get his leg back against Roman. So they're kind of playing both fields. If a rock can confirm, then we will, we'll see more of that lining up and we may even hear from the Rock more and I'll kind of confirm everything we need to know. If we don't see that and they really started pushing Cody more and start really bitching in him, finishing the story, then we can kind of tell that maybe the Rock situation may not happen. And you can still have the Rock versus Roman at next year's Summer Slam. That's a Summer Slam main event match for sure. So if it doesn't happen at this year's WrestleMania, you can have it and I mean next year's WrestleMania, you can have it at next year's Summer Slam. So we'll see comment down below. Let me know. Do you guys feel like the Roman in the Rock should happen at next year's WrestleMania or do y'all feel like it should be Cody that means the main event rest next year's WrestleMania with Roman or do y'all feel like it should be somebody else main eventing next year's WrestleMania with Roman. Let me know down below, but I appreciate all the love and support guys shown on channel Road to 150K and I'm still getting speedy. You two wrestling champion. The world appreciate y'all kicking with me. See y'all next week. Peace.
