>>14287140>The RockIt cannot be underestimated how much of a draw this fucker was, and is compared to everyone else in any current promotion. No Rock promos, no draw.
>Cody looking White, getting beaten bloody by brown peopleThis is an emotional visual for many right now. I'm not gonna call them sensitive little bitches, but they like to see a 'normal' White-ish guy win against darkies.
>Vince McMahon goneConstant whispers of a new era. Word got around that Vince is gone, so lapsed drones wanna see what's changed.
>Cody dicktease. If Cody wins, AEW looks dumb. The AEWtists were rubbing it in drones faces last year that Stardust is coming back. People wanted to see if he'd get 'buried' again. If Cody wins, it makes it look like AEW didn't know what they had. In fact, it proves it.
>CM Punk returning.Though he wasn't at Mania, he is a walking controversy machine. He also draws lapsed fans.
>WWE vs AEW potshots, WWE pulling aheadThis is fueling a a sense that WWE is improving. Whether or not that's true is debatable and immaterial. AEW was hot, now it's shit. WWE is better by default.
