Look I'm not saying that Sami needs to beat Roman in the main event of Mania or anything, but him jobbing to Roman at Elimination Chamber and then teaming up with KO to face the Usos at Mania seems like a really weak payoff to the hottest storyline in the company right now. There's got to be a better way to do this.

He’s going over. It’s Cody vs Sami and Roman vs Jey.

I could see Sami actually winning at elimination chamber (probably just the WWE championship) and 'mania being a triple threat. Roman is so close to 1,000 days that they should just let him hold the universal title a little longer. He can drop it to Cody at Summerslam or something.

the problem is that the fans will 100% reject it.

the other problem is that Cody doesn't have genuine heat yet, and will be the main victim.

so you're saying that instead of sami having the biggest match of his career in front of the hottest crowd possible for him, he should have it at a less hot crowd and also lose?

Your issue is this. Sami has never been over on the main roster despite titles/mania matches until this angle. He doesn’t look believable as the balding old Canadian with the huge nose, and mania is in LA. There’s nothing for him after this loss. It builds zero.

Cody is a big star, that injury/hiac thing was awesome, and he deserves the shot. It’s also symbolic in that if you come to WWE, we will give you a shot at being on a show that will be watched by more people than every PPV AEW puts on in a year combined. Cody has a few years left where he could potentially be the baby face champ that fights the bad guy of the month.

Okay, so Sami beats Roman at Wrestlemania and Roman fucks off after that with maybe a rematch a month later, then what? Now you unironically have Sami Zayn as your top guy in 2023 and no longer has the one angle that made him relevant.

you're ignoring the reality that he is currently over, and the fans will quickly throw cody to the side for Sami

whats even worse is that Sami hasnt even started his face turn yet, and can get over better than anyone in ring.

Would him teaming up with KO to end the Usos' reign be so bad? The entire angle culminated in Sami choosing Owens over the Bloodline so this is the direction to take it in. If Sami is as over and good as people say he is, he can keep that heat until SummerSlam where he beats Roman for the Universal title there.

The angle didnt make his relevant, it just put him into the stratosphere.
If you really think for a minute, youll realize that Sami has carried the bloodline for about 4 months. and roman hasnt odne much at all

Sami is not Kofi, or Big E, or Drew, he is much much more talented, and can carry big storylines like no one else can

the "aftermath" of a title win, im not concerned in the least about.
Thats the value in pushing someone with talent instead of a pretty face.

Okay, but you can bet your ass that the WWE is, they actually have money and ratings to lose if pushing Sami doesn't work. They don't want another 2014 Daniel Bryan.

AND Creative only had one plan for him, to lose.
They never wanted to push him.

so reality is, we dont actually know what the results would be for Top quality talent + quality booking.

People cry about non main titles meaning nothing then say certain storylines are “too big” for said titles.

If the “hottest angle” results in a Mania tag match, then good. Makes those belts a big deal

The fans will, yes. But the problem lies in the Redditors and other low test faggots who spend hundreds of dollars just so they can go and try to get themselves over in the crowd with their chants. I fear Cody's storyline is going to be hijacked by the crowd's immense Sami faggotry, just like they did with Bryan. And it would be worse this time around because at least with Bryan at WM30, you knew no one but pajeets and the most drone-iest of edrones want to watch boring fucking Batista vs Orton maineventing a Wrestlemania in 2014.

This is exactly true. And they gave Mankind the strap to pay off his heat before shifting back to the main face of the company. There is literally no reason Sami shouldn't go over in Montreal. He can just drop it back the night if they're really deadset on Roman vs. Cody.

The smark crowd just cheered Cody and gave him 'you deserve it' chants, even though he didn't deserve it since he came at #30 and the only reason he's being pushed is because it's part of his WWE deal and his last name is Runnels.

He's being pushed because he proved himself resourceful by going out and making a name for himself and even helping start a rival wrestling company. He didn't sit at home and whine and complain endlessly on podcasts, he actually DID SOMETHING, the same thing your parents want you to do every time you slog through the kitchen at 11:45 am to get breakfast

Big D that a push is written into a contract with a massive corporation. How exactly does the wording of that work? Not to mention there would be so many ways to cheat it. Allegedly WCW had a contract with KISS that said the Demon character had to main event at least one Nitro. So they put him in a match at 8:20 and the announcers called it the Main Event of the evening.
tl;dr you can’t contractually guarantee a push. If the company doesn’t want to do it they’ll wiggle out.

Vince and Khan wanted Cody cause he clearly showed himself to be a professional in every sense of the word and he was being misused and under-utilized in AEW. Tony didn't see his value, Vince did. That's the end-all be-all of it.

CAWdy was signed at the peak of WWE's desperation of ekeing out a W against AEW

A ton of WWE guys instantly made their way into Tony's toy box but nobody wanted to hop to the other side until CAWdy was deemed expendable by Tiny and the other EVPs

WWE was ready to give everything to him including a guaranteed markish title reign plus millions of dollars

Imagine being blinded by console war faggotry this much. If TNA is still around how can someone genuinely believe that AEW will go under anytime soon? It's the passion project of one of the richest families in the world with a lot of success behind it already. Use your brain once in a while!

Vince booking would be him winning like 75% of the matches up to the next ppv and pushing him like he's gonna be the guy. Then he loses the ppv. Wrestlemania he's booked in a smaller match than you thought it would be, which he wins. After that he's jobbed out until his heat is squashed. Few months later he's gone.
