SRS: As of the week before the Royal Rumble, Cody Rhodes was told he was working with Roman Reigns, and the plan was CM Punk vs. Seth Rollins at WrestleMania. There had actually been multiple reassurances to the former that it would be happening.
@TellumSiege I will remind us that no one suspected the Netflix deal. I think WWE is choosing what they tell us right now.
Also the way I square the conflicting reports is that Meltzer reflects the plans among TKO leadership and SRS reflects reports from WWE creative down. Different parties knew different things.
It seems like HHH has been working the dirt sheets for some time now, so I really have no reason to believe a word that either of these dude’s write. I genuinely can’t believe people pay these guys for their “scoops.”
If I had to bet, TKO is playing both sides and will ultimately commit to whatever the numbers point to. Given the amount of shit that happened in January, there’s a ton of time until WM. When push comes to shove, I’m sure we will get new reports that X or Y was “the plan from the beginning.”
