    Tiffany Stratton with the well-deserved promotion, but I'm surprised they're doing it pre-Mania, and that she's apart from her beau on Raw (Kaiser).

    I don't think they're going to go as far as bringing back the side-pony and the Bayley Buddies, but fans are going to go over HUGE for a face Bayley at Mania -- especially in a hot city like Philly.

    Izzy, the Bayley superfan that was always at NXT (the one that Sasha famously made cry), is now a budding indie wrestler. That would be killer if they brought her one for a cameo or one-off as some sort of support for Bayley.

    Humble opinion: the main roster women's corps is growing so strong, I think they're in a position now where they should think about introducing a mid-level singles belt, even if it's just one to cover both brands, like the tag belt.

    They're certainly in a better position than AEW is to have its women's champ and the TBS champ.

    WTF? Did Cody just give his shot against Roman to the Rock?

    I can't wait to see how they explain this -- which they look to be doing at this press event they flashed on the screen Thursday in Vegas.

    I have no idea where they are going with Cody and his story. And I’m losing interest.

    So now we get Cody vs. Seth IV (ugh) at Mania? Elimination Chamber to determine Logan Paul's opponent for the US belt (just like they did last year) and/or for Gunther's opponent for the IC?

    I thought with the McMahons gone, we'd be done with the WWE office shoving their way into the Mania main event.

    Yeah, that is certainly … a choice.

    Maybe they’re going with Dwayne to try to stem some of the bad publicity of Vince?

    Did you guys not hear the reaction or feel anything in that moment/segment?

    This is 1000% the right choice. And I dont even like Rock but the energy is undeniable. It leaps off the screen.

    Rock/Roman doesn't need a belt. Just need the extended Samoan family together for all the inner warfare.

    Even Stevie Wonder can see that Roman is not dropping the belt to an even more part-time Rock.

    Does Cody take his shot vs. Roman at Chamber, win and goes against someone else? Does WWE do something like that when it's middle of the night for its core fanbase in the States (not sure when they're starting the event in Aussie)?

    I agree … however Cody’s explanation for his decision fell flat. Long way to go until Wrestlemania; hopefully they can follow up a little better.
