Dave Meltzer is now claiming what's happening with The Rock and Cody was the plan all along, and everybody got worked, and he knew the whole time... which is a completely different tune than he was playing a couple of days ago... I'm starting to think this man might make shit up! #Wrestling #ProWrestling #WWE #WeWantCody #RockySucks

I mean, it's an incredibly stupid plan, if so.

is it though? they've sold out wrestlemania, people will still buy it and watch every raw up until then no matter how much they complain on social media, and the trends are all about wwe programming not the trial.

Wait, I'm confused. Are you agreeing with Meltzer that this was obviously the plan all along, or are you saying that this was a quick pivot to distract from the lawsuit against McMahon?

I mean they've known about the McMahon stuff since last summer before the sale when they swept it under the rug. i'm just saying i don't think the whole rock blindsided wwe out of nowhere line of thinking has any basis in reality. i think they knew it would break and wanted a big mainstream match to deflect.
