Is WWE finishing the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s story?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 лют 2025
- It dawned on me while watching the WWE's Bloodline storyline play out over the last several years that there are some striking similarities between it and the MCU's Infinity Saga - two very different mediums. This video essay delves into the deep and sometimes downright conspiratorial to see what can we read into the connections between the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the WWE Universe.
WOW! You called it dammit!
That decision of chair shot to seth was the end of Roman Reigns historic title run, truely a masterpiece.
Because the mcu and the wwe is much more similar then we all think. And they just brought to the writers team one former marvel writer so yeah..
I mean WWE did hire a formal Marvel writer so it makes sense with the long story telling. And I love how Seth is Ironman with the mannerisms of Joker and it's actually quite fitting on Seth being Roman's downfall. I mean in his past promo against Roman he even said, "I created you and I can destroy you", Seth is also the only guy Roman hasn't defeated in his years long title reign.
Just to fix that last bit, seth faced Roman at the Royal Rumble 2022 and Roman won, good point though
Edit:I've been corrected like 12 times already, read half of the replys and see what's been written, so please just stop
Jesus Christ
@@JaydeniguessxxRoman didn’t really defeat him though, Roman was DQ’d and actually lost the match. He kept the belt because you can’t win a belt via DQ or count out.
@@jamisonreynolds9949 fair enough
Doesn't Roman overall have a losing record against Seth?
@@t-dawgRoman has never beat Seth.
this video aged like the finest of wines, please do a updated one to this because Seth Made the sacrifice, and became Rogers (Cody's Shield)
The Rock is like the ruthless 2014 Thanos who wants to destroy the ungrateful universe
Nah this one got it 😂
No lol The Rock is simply evil Vin Diesel now
@@heartattack3579 groot?
@@extraterrestrialhorse9722 Groot is not evil.
bro that is ELITE, youre so right they are the same person from diffferent generations
YOU WERE RIGHT!!! The last Chair to Rollins was the "i'm Iron Man" moment, He came back as THE SHIELD
Tony made a sacrifice. The ultimate sacrifice to save the universe. Seth will do the same. He’s gonna leave everything out there so Cody can fix the timeline.
Oh I love this. I think that’s exactly right.
That’s a good idea. Seth can give his all, and by the time he fights Drew he’s too beat up and loses. That’s his sacrifice.
He sacrifices everything by losing the title to drew because he has to wrestle 2 nights
Don’t forget one important element in this..
It’s Damien Priest..
One of these 2 scenarios may happen.
1. Seth may loose the title via Bloodline’s intervention in his one on one title match with Drew. Then Damien may cash in his MITB contract on Drew.
Or
2. if at all Seth retains his title, he may lose it moments after he is beaten up like hell from the match. Then Damien may cash in his MITB contract on Seth.
Either ways the Ironman (Seth) is gonna lose but will play an important part in defeating Thanos (Tribal Chief). The ultimate sacrifice. (Its been quite a while since Seth is holding to that World Heavyweight Championship, the locker room is filled with deserving talents that should be given a chance.
On top of it. Wrestle Mania 40’s night 1 is featuring Tag team match between (Seth & Cody) vs (Roman & Rock) for the advantage. It will be fun to watch if Seth & Cody lose the advantage so that the Night 2 will have The bloodline by the corner of Roman in Cody vs Roman match. Everything goes, Bloodline intervention , cheats & then Seth also intervenes in that match. If Seth retains his title without being cashed in on, then after the match of night 2 we may have Cody defeat Roman, with Rock turning on Roman, Seth helping Cody beat Roman, Seth got beaten up very bad during the match. After the match Damien may cash in on Seth thus we conclude the main event of WM 40 with Captain America/ American nightmare (Cody) victorious and Ironman sacrificing (Seth) for the greater good.
And then Cody just like Captain America chooses to go back and live out his past by going back to AEW, handing the Shield (title) over to Falcon 😂@@ProWrestlingExperience
That's why we calling it the Cinematic Era.
No
I've been really hoping for a "On your left" moment at WM, with the recent Tag match challenge, I'd love to see the Bloodline win and for night two to be the whole "Bloodline rules" only for people like Sami, KO, LA Knight and Jey all to come out and for a chaotic segment where they all land their finishers on Roman for his streak to end in one big finale, Everyone used to call the bloodline story Cinema and what better way to end the story than a moment that is just that
And then Cody wins and all the wrestlers who were attacked or cheated by the bloodline which is the whole roster lol come out and surround the ring all excited for Cody or they go in the ring and lift him up …that kinda ending celebration!!
Aew does that often, and i dislike it, but in this case... it'll create such a remarkable ending to a great reign. I hope this happens
No. Cody has to win this clean.
@@dreamsofcosmicoceans8105it won’t be clean unfortunately we already know Seth is helping
@@ProdigyEraNetwork We don't know that he's necessarily going to attack Roman directly, though. That's the nuance. Seth can help fend of the Bloodline, he just can't touch Roman. Nobody can.
You were right as everyone wronged by Roman came back
Like John cena and undertaker
This was way more connected that I thought was possible and it just keeps on getting better with each comparison.
CM Punk is Bucky/The Winter Soldier. The forgotten friend who has returned after a long hiatus working for the enemy, resulting in many stars not trusting his true intentions including Seth Rollins/Iron Man, leading to an inevitable confrontation between the two (Civil War plot)
Damn bro, now whose falcon dawg👌👌👏👏🙌🙌🙌💯💯🔥🔥😎😎
Bros I just thought of this now so if punk is bucky, Seth is iron man, Cody is captain America, an well we don't quite know who falcon is in this situation, we'll I'm gonna say that jey is actually baron zemo, because he is a foe turned friend/ally just like how in that one episode of falcon and the winter soldier where the 3 of them teamed up (them being falcon, bucky and zemo) let me know what u guys think also what do u think about this @JustinWalkerChannel
@@raulgys1717 I actually think a better comparison for Jey is Gamorra. Roman Reigns is essentially Thanos with his relatives Jey (Gamorra) and Jimmy (Nebula) doing his bidding. Jey finally saw how manipulative Roman is and left him and potentially we will eventually see Jimmy do the same. Both of them teaming up with the good guys to take down Roman (Gamorra and Nebula joining the Avengers to defeat Thanos).
I always thought that “the snap” would be one last chair in roman’s back
Lol
Roman is scared of chairs 😂
😮 this Whould be it
Rock
Wrestlemania just finished and I rewatched this!! The story is finish and I think you’re right about Seth being Iron man because he sacrificed himself and his belt to become Cody Rhodes shield !
Well, you weren't technically wrong. Cody still beat Roman, but Seth was basically Iron Man, sacrificing himself.
I mean Seth Rollins is the true nemesis to Roman Reigns. Like Thanos feared Tony Stark the most, Seth is the only that can truly push Roman out of character, like at the end of their match at the 2022 Royal Rumble
No offense but Seth is a joke. His gimmick isn't on the level of a world title holder or main eventer. Cody isn't much better but he can hold his own with Reigns and Rock on the mic and in the ring. Seth's best quality is his in ring ability. His character and pointless forced flashiness is just trying to beat a dead horse. That dead horse's name is Macho Man randy savage. Seth is a good actor, and has great timing but his fashion clown gimmick is too easy and simple and boring. Imagine if Seth's character matched the weight of his theme song. His song seems more like a song for Bobby Roode or Bryan Danielson, serious wrestlers with an aura that matches the hype their theme song creates. But Seth isn't funny or cool he's just a good wrestler who wears some deranged clothes just to wear them. This isn't even the attitude Era where they could mock him for dressing like a cross dresser or a schizophrenic patient. He needs to go away for a few months, recuperate his back and knee, and build a very methodical and calculated and evil character and come back as a heel, but with the admiration that roman gets in his heel run. A lovable heel or well liked heel. Seth should be slotted to fill the Randy Orton role on RAW. He should be this absolute menace that curb stomps his way to another title run.
Totally agree, i'm just stating that the story between Seth and Roman is one that write itself and would be more interesting, but of course Seth should acting like a clown.. seriously at first i though that gimmick was something like a Joker, but man ooh man, @@RacCkhn
seth's probably one of my favorite wrestlers but I wish he would tone down the goofiness sometimes@@RacCkhn
Well the “Endgame” came down to Seth sacrificing himself so Cody could end Roman. So it kind of played out the same way.
This aged like fine wine after watch wm 40
Really well put-together video, thanks for making it. I had a similar opinion as well, but Seth being the one to do it was definitely not one of them, however I do love that parallel.
Thanks for watching! I had fun with the parallels, but I'm still having trouble placing The Rock into the scenario.
@@ProWrestlingExperienceThe Rock is the Infinity Gauntlet as he was the power to build Roman Reigns in WM 2016, and he would be the power to end the reign as he will turn on Roman.
@@ProWrestlingExperienceCody’s not cap he’s homelander
I do think Seth joining up with Cody will end up somehow costing him his health and title. He currently is injured and I’m sure the bloodline will target the injury and I’m sure whether it’s to Drew or a Damien Cash in he will lose his title. This loss will be thought of as a sacrifice. This loss will also lead to the bloodline being involved night 2. With Rollins injured and without a title, the avengers step up to negate the bloodline.
I like this!
Cody is spongebob, seth is Patrick. Roman is Mr crabs and the rock is the pirate.
what an analogy
Best analogy ever😂😂😂
This comment deserves a Nobel peace prize
Solo is Squidward
I’d watch a video on this! 😂🤣
Who's the goofy goober?
I can't believe how accurate this all ended up being hahahaha
Haha! What a show!
What if Dean Ambrose comes back as their “on your left” moment😂
tony wouldnt allow it lol
That'd be so crazy because of how unlikely it is. I would love it though.
that ship has sailed sadly although with HHH in the drivers seat maybe but moxley looks like he's pretty locked in with aew
nah goldust makes more snese
@@awaisman2413 Bryan Danielson/Daniel Bryan and Adam Copeland/Edge, They are the two who have been screwed by Roman and his Army the most, Bryan lost his job in kayfabe cause of Roman.
Seth sacrifices himself to allow Cody to win and that causes him to lose his title
It happened 😭
This still makes sense after Mania. Although, I believe Steve Rodgers gets to live and enjoy the glory of having defeated Thanos, so Cody was still the right person. Tony and Seth's uncharacteristic sacrifice won the day. Perfection.
Give me chills and goosebumps in the end. Well put up video man
The parallels and how everything unfolded last April makes this video so much more awesome. Subbed!
I said the same thing.You're not crazy. I do believe WWE learned alot about Marvels run in storytelling and I been thinking that since the Bloodline Arc really picked up 2 years ago. And yes Roman and the Bloodline definitely represents Thanos. So I been hoping for a Infinity Wars/End game type ending within the WWE what they captured well in layered storytelling since 2020. I like your video keep up the good work.
Thanks for the kinds words. I think most of us wrestling fans are hoping for that satisfying Endgame finish!
I didn't even realize these parallels till you send them. And they're not even forced, they genuinely do make sense. This was a really great, well put together video. Awesome stuff man🤝🔥
If the WWE wanted to make Seth play the Iron man role and make a huge sacrifice: During the Night 2 Main Event, put Seth (who is out there trying to help Cody, and also retained his title against Drew) in a position where it's a split second decision, during a Damien Priest Cash in, to help Cody who is set up for a Roman spear to sacrifice himself, throwing himself into the spear...Damian then hits him with his finisher to pin him for the belt. But at the same time this gives Cody a decisive moment to hit Roman with his finisher and win the belt- finishing his story. I think that would be an amazing ending. The "on your left" WWE version would be awesome too.
You were right
The comparisons did not stop at wrestlemania: night one Roman bled from the nose “all that for a drop of blood?” -thanos- then night 2 Seth/Iron man had to “die” (take the chair shot) for cody/cap and the rest/WWE to win. theory confirmed
Great concept and video, man! This is type pf videos i want my youtube recommendations to suggest me. This is what gives me nostalgic, no-bullsh*t, old school youtube videos. Loved it. ❤️
I was thinking about it two years ago. Glad i was BY FAR not the only one
I'm not the biggest MCU guy as after "Phase 1" I only watched the Avengers movies, and the ones that interested me (Doctor Strange, Civil War, and Winter Soldier), but from what I know about the overall Thanos/Infinity War storyline....
Holy crap, this was really well done, and the parallels are DEFINITELY there.
Well done sir.
U were 1000% right. On your left happened. Kinda hoped Brock Lesnar would've come out, but it still blew my mind.
That was fun
@@ProWrestlingExperience To Roman, I have only one thing to say. "I hope they remember you."
Holy Shytt, the parallel is amazingly put together in the video. Good work…
I do think the Story of WrestleMania 39 and 40 are the same story of Infinity War and Endgame so yeah I can’t wait for WrestleMania 40 it’s gonna be fun.
Pretty good thought! I liked the connections
6:27 Seth taking chair shot 🙌
this analogy just made me atleast 10X MORE HYPED FOR ‘Mania. Lets Gooooo, great vid ❤️🔥
Really awesome video. You’re a great storyteller Justin.
So nice of you to say! Thanks for humoring a fun thought experiment!
Dude you were right. Iron man sacrificed himself and so did Seth Rollins to let captain America win. All the avengers assembled Cena, undertaker.
This was a great video when I watched it and still is, it's a good idea and a good comparison between the two, it's a very good watch
This got SO HYPE! Wrestlemania 40 gonna go crazy
I feel like Seth Rollins just like Tony Stark being the guy Who likes the spotlight plays into this in some way. When it's all said and done, Seth Rollins is going to be the GENIUS that gets credited for ending The Bloodline more than Cody, just like how Tony is a GENIUS for snapping Thanos.
This is a really great comparison-we need you to do an update now that ManiaXL has happened!!!
Cody wins at WM to start Reign's downfall, the Rock wins at SummerSlam taking Roman's place in the family as the head of the head of the table, lastly would be where Roman looked to be back to the top of WWE with challenging the World Heavyweight Championship against Seth Rollins at RR and Rollins put the last nail in the coffin of Roman Reigns. Leading him to leave for 6 months to return to SummerSlam after WM.
@joshuamunn2410 and Roman will leave for hollywood afterwards
I personally like the Naruto and sauske vs madara and obito comparison but this one nice to 😂😂😂
we need an after mania video 🤌🏾
No cap this story line got me back into the wwe lowkey.
first time here!
nice concept due..
it makes sense
Thanks!!
Really Amazing Video, Good Job on pointing out the similarities
What a interesting analysis! This deserves more views!❤ I feel like this storyline i.m.o is a combination of Avengers Endgame, Rocky seeking redemption after losing to Apollo and Simba returning to pride rock to defeat Scar and take the throne. I have a feeling at WrestleMania night 2, we'll have a Avengers assemble moment or the Justice League coming together moment(I'm a fan of both😂)
WrestleMania XL is sure to be one for the ages......
This is iconic presentation of a clear case of parallel storytelling. Bravo!!!!
This video was phenomenal to watch. Thank you for content like this. I hope WWE doesn't squander this storyline. It's good and I'm so hype for MANIA!!❤
You earned a subscriber for this my guy we need more of this
I've been saying the last few days that if Cody and Seth lose that tag match on Night 1, they will have to assemble the "WWE Avengers" to defeat the Bloodline on Night 2. I just didn't realize how many other ppl saw the same connection. lol
@joshuamunn2410 I wanna see it, but then clowns will probably call it an "overbooked mess", so I don't know if WWE would actually do it
WM39: INFINITY WAR
WM40: ENDGAME
I think in night 1 The Rock and Roman will win, despite some interferences ( maybe Zain wil be there trying to help Cody and Seth) i thought for a second that Rollins maybe betray Rhodes, but i dont believe so because of his match against Drew and how Drew its now the heel in that angle.
Then in night 2 Cody Will win the Universal title despite the presence of the bloodline. From here there's 2 paths:
1. We have the End Game last battle experience: maybe Stone Cold Will return and attack The Rock among other Superstars and legends, we could see like Cena, Zayn, Rollins, Uso, even HHH or CM Punk therefore Rhode wil have a fair shot at Roman.
2. The Rock will betray Roman but with a twist: he's not turning face but becoming the ultimate bad guy, crossing his cousin and taking posession of the Bloodline, then proclaming himself as the true and only head of the table and tribal chief.
As for Roman he'll take some time out and return to Challenge the Rock to the SEE who's the real Tribal Chief. Maybe the Match Will be in Summer Slam, although i feel it's in next years WrestleMania.
I've always thought the most poetic ending for romans reign to end would be against seth, I kind of just accepted the fact that unfortunately that's not gonna happen :(, n I'm more than fine w cody winning against roman, but if I got to choose who dethroned roman it probably would be seth or drew
This is spot on accurate and one of the best videos i seen in a while on this storyline and i love it with seth ending it all keep up great videos like this please!!!!
Your channel will grow smoothly. Good content. Best of luck 🎉
Holy cow! I never noticed the parallels, this is wild.
Seth really did cost Roman the match :D
Roman's right glove used to be gold - inspired by... you guessed it, Thanos
😮 Yes
I think Cody will and should be the one to dethrone Roman on Night 2, but I think on Night 1 it should be Seth that pins Roman during the tag match. That way both "Cap" and "Tony" beat "Thanos" in their own ways. I still think and hope that Rock stays heel throughout both nights of Mania because he's more entertaining/imposing as a heel and so that Stone Cold can somehow interfere and give him a stunner to help Cody win but that's a different story lol
Seth comes out to the Sheild music is one of the last three in the ring. Roman thinking back to what he did ten years ago hits him.
It gives Cody time to recover stop Roman hit three cross roads and win the title.
Seth was Iron Man and Codys Shield.
That chilling image with cody kneeling against a standing roman with everyone that has helped him along the way (jey, sami, KO, seth, fuck it even dean ambrose) at the start of the ramp will be so cold.
Plumber won't ever be back in wwe
@@jaredmccracken1768 fingers crossed🤞
This was a great video!! This gets me so excited for this main event with potential attitude era-like interferences.
Searched for this on Reddit. Wasn't disappointed. It's been referred to plenty, even by Drew McIntyre days before this video came out. But a good topic for a video none the less.
I'm kinda stoked to.have stumbled upon this opinion. I have been saying and suggesting similar things to anyone who cares (or doesnt) for years. Excited to see what you gotta say on the matter.😊
I got goosebumps thinking about this in the parallels great video. If this plays out the ending like you say it would you for catching a parallels
Thanos Reigns should become the longest reigning Wwe Champion, before venturing out and conquering other territories 🔥
Also Cm Loki should bring his Real World Championship with him, when he comes back to the Wwe 🔥
Nice concept
Like he really thought out of the box 😂
Iv been thinking this for a while, I also think Randy, la knight and aj styles will act as spider man , dr strange and hulk and take out the rest of the bloodline, in the process making Roman look super powerful because it takes the whole roster to beat him.
Cody- Captain America
Seth- Ironman
Brandi- Black Widow
Sami- Thor
Kevin Owens- Hulk
Jey- Spider-Man
Idk that's the best i could do
*The Rock is Nick Fury I'm telling you*
CM Punk is Wolverine. They both returned after a long time lol. They both ruthless when it comes to fighting. Punk even had a wolverine look from late 2013-early 2014
VERY well done...I like the analogy
I honestly saw Roman as an Evil Thor.
Great parallels! You could even say that CM Punk is Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier
Just like Tony. Seth will sacrifice himself (meaning he'll lose the World heavyweight championship) to help Cody beat Roman. Whatever it takes.
This is perfect. Keep up the good work bro ❤
man, you made bloodline saga even more interesting, got me exited about wrestlemania
this video is a damn chef kiss!! i thought this channel had 100k+ subs wow
bro, this made too much sense... love it
This was the perfect video because after that rock promo I began to see the parallels as well
Brilliant analysis man. I'd love to see 'on your left' moment. And what if The Rock is Gamora 😅
I love this. I was going to wait until WM but I wanted to make a tekken-esque dramatized version of the bloodline saga. People get hung up on the ring but if you took the ring and the people out and focus on the theater and world WWE are trying to make it’s kind of wild and very, very consistent. They must have a power scaling chart outside of the 2k ranking stuff b/c you can tell who’s gonna win by just following the characters themselves. As they say, cinema
I really like this, great work man. Seth really would make sense
Wow dude 1st time on this channel and that was PEAK 2024 THEORY CRAFTING!...... subscribed!
Bro I've literally been thinking the same thing im glad im not the only one who thought this
First we have Roman as Thanos defeating Cody as Cap or iron man and the Rock could be Kang the Conqueror
@christianguevara6459how can you compare the rock to that loser who was defeated by a bunch of ants.
WWE/MCU = Cinema
Nice! We did a video last year that's similar but I like you drawing Cody as a comparison to Captain America a lot more. To me, he felt more like Captain Marvel (Showing up near the end of the saga after exile to break apart Roman's army to leave Seth to finish the fight)
I respect that angle. I do feel like Cody do need a solid run with the belt to show the product is willing to do different things with their champions
As Vince McMahon used to say… “We tell stories, we make movies.” And the last soon to be four years of the Roman Reigns Bloodline Saga is proof of that.
We need that “avengers asemble” moment! Sami, owens, seth, jay & cody vs bloodline at the ring to the endgame moment of the cody vs reigns match!
Awesome bra. Thank you.
WWE is a movie nowadays
Bro, I want Cody to finish the story… but if WWE were to have that long of sight and consider Rollins to dethrone Reigns it would be awesome! Granted a bunch of factors so more than likely it won’t happen but I wouldn’t be mad if this is how it played out irl
Cody will be finishing the story, it's just that Rollins will probably be the one to finish Roman at WM, and my guess is he will probably give him one last chair to the back (if the match is no DQ) as a throwback to how the Shield Ended
@@lemun_ad or give a chairshot to Cody and betray him
Thank you for this. So entertaining. I wish they’d let Seth defeat Roman but I think they have to put their eggs in the Cody basket. Maybe he wins and Roman keeps the Bloodline together and Seth can end it next year. Either way, from one WWE and Avengers fan to another, well done.
First the package is crazy men,I love it I,how many day did it take to complete the project? Nice work and effort by the way u did great
Romans first title defense was against Braun Strowman. This is equivalent to Thanos first beating the Hulk.
