Now that the dust has settled, was Cody losing here worth it for Cody winning last weekend?

it made Cody's win bigger and might have actually made him a star (we'll see) but Roman did fuck all for most of the year
I wouldn't change it because if Cody won here we wouldn't have gotten heel Dwayne but in the moment it was the wrong call

Yes. Cody remained white hot the entire year, resulting in a phenomenal end to both his and Roman's respective arcs.

Should have lost twice, but I'll give him a genuine chance. He just needs to grow beyond his whimpering "MUH DADDEH" promos. I also think that slowly working towards turning him heel would be a really compelling moment in his career and could possibly lead to some amazing kino.

Honestly? No.
I think him losing or winning at WM39 didn't really make much of a difference. He lost, he was put into a bunch of random ass feuds for months before almost being buried and then he got saved by a hashtag, so he won in a match that was mostly overshadowed by Cena, Rock and Taker, although losing definitely contributed to the muhstory thing. If he won he would've looked much weaker than he does now, but maybe it would've been too predictable.
That being said, I'd have preferred a WM39 win because the only thing I'll remember WM40 by is the ass wipe ads and fucking LED mess everywhere, alongside a really horrible set. WM39 was gorgeous, and the match card was much better too.

Short answer, yes. The viewership of wm40 shows they didn't have enough momentum and movement behind Cody in the first go. It would have felt inorganic and go over about as well as WWE trying to put Roman over the first time.
It's ironic that Rock was involved in both times.

It should have been Sami, have him drop the title back to Roman at Summerslam, then Roman can drop it to Cody at 40

I would’ve preferred Cody chasing for a while and doing rock vs roman and then turning rock heel after. Basically everything at this mania happens at 41

I stopped watching WWE after WM 39 and only returned for WM 40. Because of this I’m biased by saying I do think it was worth it

F’s to anyone who put up with watching a year’s worth of crap for the final nut

desu I still think its mainly because of the Rock that this ended up paying out. If they just rehashed their old feud without heel rock, I dont think it would have been as captivating

WM39 was Rocky I
WM40 was Rocky II
Cody and Roman built their own hype and cashed it in and it was good.

yeah, it was worth it. The past year has been fun to watch wrestling again. All the high value gimmicks, the large screens, the horrible writing, the staged everything with no works, shoots or freedom for wrestlers to fucking wrestle, and scripts, and Vince thinking he knows whats best... all that shit is officially gone.

not to mention they went back to rated R adult entertainment and stopped making wrestling a glorified children's cash grab. Rock dropping F bombs, blood is back, wrestlers can curse on camera again, camera mic is picking up trash talking in-ring, wrestlers have the freedom to cut their own promos again.

everything is good. WWE is no longer the weezer of wrestling.

No, not really, there's a point where you build up something to such a degree, that any outcome to finally stop it is so ridiculous and dumb, its not worth building up to that point. So if Cody was always going to lose his first wrestlemania against Roman, they should have let someone else beat Roman instead.

For the story of Cody winning? sure
But for the greater good of WWE? an active champion and crowning Cody as the fotc early would have easily put them in a better spot now
plus most of the last year was unwatchable

Cody was already white hot before the Rock entered the picture. The Rock coming in simply made the Bloodline side of things INFINITELY more dimes, cause it was starting to feel played out. They actually started to feel like a true threat

It felt like the wrong call when it happened. It felt like the right call a month onward. I think it was important to really establish that this wasn't an ordinary title reign where the first over face with the potential to sell merch gets to go over. I'm not even sure what the wrestlemania 40 card would look like if Reigns had lost at 39.

I'd love to see him go through all the big feuds he could do as a face and then turn heel to have his own long title reign. Should end his run at next year's summerslam.
