      I've already been popping laughing my ass off thinking back to the last election when the Rock was receiving some attention to run as a Democrat and then he endorsed Biden/Harris on his Instagram page. Thousands and thousands of fans (including myself) ripped him for being Mr. Blood, Sweat, Tears, Respect, and having a connection with the military through his projects and his hardest worker in the room tag line it all screamed Republican Conservative values. Then he endorsed Biden and we all laughed!!!! Thousands of fans calling him a sell out Hollywood Elite fraud. He left the comments on his Instagram post as usual. It was wild as hell. I thought well let's see how the next 4 years go then see if Rock is still a Biden supporter 😆 🤣 😂

    Seth deserves more credit for his part in that whole thing. He was a team player the whole time, did the job for Roman and Rock, then did the job for McIntyre and Priest, and then did the job for Cody by taking a chair bump from Roman. For anyone else that would have been a god damn burial, and he certainly got the raw end of the deal compared to all other parties involved, plus he was injured the entire damn time. He's clearly a MVP who will do what's best for business without letting his ego get in the way. Shame he's never been the top guy, since he's one of their most consistent and reliable workers.

As he said, what we had planned the fans would have hated more than the things that did leak out. THEN WHY BOOK IT???

Rock wanted no part of the match then, it wasn't until Roman was the hottest thing (possible exception of Cody and Punk) that Rock wants the match.

Cody and Roman are still on fire and look set for Cody-Roman III, where there should be no interference to finally "decide it", even though in both fights it has been painted as Cody being the better wrestler.
