Raw is Netflix

The one thing I will say is that, at last IMO, they gotta tread VERY carefully with this Rocky shit.

Rocky injected himself into Mania last year with plans everyone HATED. The public only got over it because the pivot turned out great and they lucked into a fantastic program. How many times can that happen, though?

And at what point do fans, even if they don't realize it, stop getting invested in storylines on any deep level when Rock can randomly decide 2 days before an event that he's gonna show up and shitcan everything they've gotten invested in, anyway?

Best comment that I saw about that Rock/Cody promo:

Off the top of my head, Cody, Jade, & Ethan Page kept their names.

Cody And Ethan aren't their real names, which means WWE likely has the name for as long as they're there.

Yeah, I don't think they'll turn Cody heel, I think they are just teasing it and giving him a crisis of the moment type of thing.

He's on the Cena route. Kids love him, he moves tons of merch, he does the Make-a-Wishes and all that...you turn him heel and you kill that cash cow. And there's no reason to do so while he's still on top and moving merch.

Especially when you can have Punk sell out.

I don't watch much NXT, but Ricky has looked good last couple weeks.
