regal timber
Wtf is this level of main event and uppercard talent lol
Like wow
I am super excited for this run of shows
drifting dove
https://x.com/eliteclubs0b/status/1896631534456885419?s=46
i was talking to my coworker and they don't watch wrestling, and even they saw the vid too
it's really spreading
obsidian hound
WHO IS OPENING THE SHOW
IF JOHN CENA IS A NO SHOW THEN WHO IS THE HEEL
Makes sense cena didnt go to buffalo who the heck wants to go there
obsidian hound
he knows how to promo so well
regal timber
So they're definitely kicking Finn out to replace him with a new member
I wonder who though
regal timber
I've started genuinely enjoying karrion kross
He's better without the deadwood around him
regal timber
The matches today should actually be real good
This one, the tag match, the rhea Iyo one
If they wanna get lyra over just let her wrestle bangers every week
That's what these midcard titles should be doing
regal timber
She's been growing on me
She's so physical in the ring I enjoy it, especially with someone like ivy who's similar
Wait holy shit war raiders American made is going to be amazing
That's so much BEEF
vapid saddle
Been napping the past hr what I miss
obsidian hound
i have a feelin ioyo is gonna win
regal timber
Damn that was excellent
Matches built well around working a body part are so good, Bret was the goat at it
I like that Lyra actually struggles and fights to pull shit off, makes it feel authentic
obsidian hound
a raw after cena turning heel is gonna have something big happen
regal timber
I think they're gonna be just going all out for the entire run of raws and Smackdown until mania
regal timber
This is going to be most viewed WWE run in history realistically
drifting dove
Rollins and Punk are like 2 dogs
regal timber
If they can just put out bangers like this raw every week they will grab so many viewers
obsidian hound
when is that tekken guy going to return to raw?
regal timber
I love Ludwig too
obsidian hound
dragunov
vapid saddle
Oooo him yea was injured
regal timber
Wrestlemania season just hits different when it really gets going damn
I think it's gonna be an all timer mania
Also, I think this is the run that is going to take this era ahead of the attitude era
regal timber
I love this Seth look
vapid saddle
He def gotta come back and interfere
regal timber
Set up that triple threat
So cool
Dude og bloodline/cody against new corporation with rock and cena and new bloodline has to be the plan for the year right?
Thats going to be fucking awesome
vapid saddle
Dude og bloodline/cody against new corporation with rock and cena and new bloodl...
People think it will come down to Cody and Roman Vs Cena And Rock
regal timber
God I need penta vs ilya
regal timber
People think it will come down to Cody and Roman Vs Cena And Rock
Summerslam
vapid saddle
That’s gonna hit
regal timber
Build up to Roman rock at mania, Cody Cena at that December show
Next week might be a generational raw
Punk Rollins steel cage, Cena appears, MSG vibes
Cena has to re-enact his 2008 rumble entrance right
vapid saddle
Oh shit so Cena is coming back next week?
regal timber
Yeah
He's been advertised for it I thinm
Wait no
That's the week after oops
My bad guys
vapid saddle
He’s. Coming the week after yea
regal timber
Well punk rollins cage match at MSG is also godlike
vapid saddle
That’s gonna be can’t miss
regal timber
Give them an hour and let him bleed
I want a 5 star classic yk
Punk has been absolutely cooking in his matches
He really has not lost a single step
Creeds getting no reaction makes me sad they've really not given American made anything, until tonight ig
vapid saddle
that punk cena sequence at chamber proves to me cena can still go
with the right dance partner
and they need gable present
regal timber
What the fuck am I watching
vapid saddle
lets hear
regal timber
It's gonna be the Patriot mask right
vapid saddle
oh yea haha it could be
vapid saddle
regal timber
He was the thing that when rewatching 1997 raw I did not know existed
vapid saddle
forgot he used kurts theme 2 years before his actual debut lol
regal timber
Yeah lol
And then he just vanishes so quick
Like he was the foil to Bret's anti America heel gimmick
obsidian hound
who the hell are these viking guys i never seen them before
regal timber
You have
They're the Viking experience renamed and back in their old gear
Used to be dressed as vikings and had Valhalla with the horns and stuff
drifting dove
I heard rey fenix is free now
obsidian hound
wqho the heck is that
regal timber
Penta brother
drifting dove
Penta’s brother
vapid saddle
yup finally gone from AEW
drifting dove
Straight jacket in AEW
obsidian hound
penta bout to have a tag bro
vapid saddle
solo penta has been cooking tho
obsidian hound
all we need is teddy long to announce all these tag matches
drifting dove
vapid saddle
but them being together is invetiable
regal timber
They can both cook solo and tag I think it'll be a cool dynamic to have
Have them tag and compete solo both
They're an uncommon case where they both work as standalone stars
obsidian hound
i dont believe in rey fentyl because his name is too close to rey mysterio
regal timber
Yeah it means king
Rey Mysterio also just used his dad's name, that's why he's jr
It's a common thing for luchadors iirc
obsidian hound
remember sin clara he was a bootleg rey mysterio who kept botching and doing PED's
vapid saddle
X
regal timber
Yeah sin cara is actually an enormous lucha star
vapid saddle
this has meme potential lol
regal timber
He was huge before wwe and huge there still
vapid saddle
ah yes the botch cara days
obsidian hound
how come we dont get submission specialists anymore
vapid saddle
drew trollin as usual
obsidian hound
how come nobody ever taps out they just make them go to sleep
obsidian hound
how come drew macantire had one of the best theme song and they dont use it nymore
regal timber
That could be asked of many wrestlers
vapid saddle
yeh it was the best way to protect punk at chamber
regal timber
Def rebel contract not being renewed
vapid saddle
passing out instead of tapping clean
obsidian hound
i would get joe hendry involved in the john cena storyline
i already let my insider know this is the script i want
obsidian hound
apparently theyre gonna do a shave ur head storyline with HHH and the rock where each person pics a champion and loser has to go bald
vapid saddle
shooting star press will always get a pop from me
obsidian hound
my favorite one is the one brock did
how come heel new day isnt getting titleshots
regal timber
Love that tag finish
They're really putting in work on the tag division rn
Tag wrestling imo is probably the peak of pure wrestling matches, I feel like you can do so much in terms of structure and story in the match
vapid saddle
great match
obsidian hound
u ever think co kane will make it to wwe?
obsidian hound
i saw a clip of that guy and it reminded me of my brothers CAW
black n white kane
regal timber
Literally all I've been doing lately is watching anime and wrestling shit is fire
vapid saddle
https://tenor.com/view/kane-wwe-corporate-the-authority-triple-h-gif-12283215
must have missed all of 2013,2014 and 15 lol
regal timber
Jjk is now living up to the hype
vapid saddle
corprate kane was indeed a thing
regal timber
God it was so bad
Their solution to make people cheer Roman was pair old ass kane and big show together and have them beat everyone fans liked and Roman up all the time
vapid saddle
Their solution to make people cheer Roman was pair old ass kane and big show tog...
damn u vince
he never had the balls to turn cena heel
look at HHH cookin
obsidian hound
its cos they had no other face
vapid saddle
they had punk,
vapid saddle
even roman was top dog when cena was full time
obsidian hound
yea i dont think pepsi phil would do
vapid saddle
cena legit couldve turned heel 10 years ago
vapid saddle
regal timber
they had punk,
To replace Cena as the, main face fan favourite babyface, punk I feel is too anti hero to be playing that role
The kid audience, charity stuff, side of things too
vapid saddle
he did ok during his face run back in the summer of punk
they had randy still as well
obsidian hound
whatever happened to that one announcer corey grape?
vapid saddle
demoted to NXT
regal timber
he did ok during his face run back in the summer of punk
As an anti authority guy attacking the company
vapid saddle
As an anti authority guy attacking the company
a bit later after that lol
when he got the title
regal timber
Randy had been literal evil monster for too long I feel also
drifting dove
I ain’t gonna lie I saw Dragon Lee and thought it was Rey Fenix
obsidian hound
doesnt nxt have far too many people?
vapid saddle
his 434 title run
regal timber
He was a heel for that
vapid saddle
not all of it
vapid saddle
face first year
obsidian hound
heel orton is a monster
vapid saddle
then joined heyman the last of his title run
regal timber
He also literally returned to defeat the 'company' champion
I see you though
Punk if backed fully could have been that guy
regal timber
A healthy Bryan actually? That could have been him
regal timber
yea remmber stone cold?
Different era tbf, I mean specifically as replacing what Cena was for the company, rather than just being a huge star
regal timber
arugment invalid !!
Too late, for I have already depicted you as the crying owned wojack
vapid saddle
no one has come close to cena since then there will never be another cena
obsidian hound
they better be cooking another face of a company cos cody sux and deserves to be a heel cos i dont want my kid to loook up to someone with a dumb tattoo location
vapid saddle
cody is getting there
regal timber
I feel Cody can be the guy for minimum another 5 years or so
vapid saddle
they are handling cody super well rn
vapid saddle
Finn Vs AJ Vs Bronn Vs ??? at mania
obsidian hound
idk
vapid saddle
obsidian hound
i barely played attention
obsidian hound
he wil by deaf rebel
regal timber
Finn Vs AJ Vs Bronn Vs ??? at mania
I think Dom as well
Ladder match surely
Then like penta and another face?
vapid saddle
yea now it seems that way
regal timber
Yeah Dom taking it would be cool I think
obsidian hound
jake paol
regal timber
And set up feud with balor
vapid saddle
IF he has a new one
he said in an interview that he has a heel theme that sounds like my time is now but he uses saxophones instead of trumpets
obsidian hound
i would go to a ppv event if i wasnt lazy
regal timber
Tbh for the money I can't justify it
vapid saddle
only for a mania
regal timber
Having a big watch party with friends is peak for me
vapid saddle
or a rumble too maybe
regal timber
Yeah rumble or mania is love to do but I just can't afford
I do see my local indies regularly though they're fun
UK scene got obliterated for various reasons but there's one near me doing fine, very small though
vapid saddle
this cena heel turn video package is incredible
regal timber
The FU
vapid saddle
i would love if he changes it back to that name lmfao
vapid saddle
change the STF back to the STFU
i hope he comes out thuganomics style and not wearing suits and shit
obsidian hound
cody rhodes aint even in this RAW?
vapid saddle
bro got his ass beat bro lmao
obsidian hound
i woudl demand a refund if i ahd a kid
vapid saddle
he gotta sell that beatdown and heel turn
obsidian hound
so what he got piledriver with a broken neck and showed up next day
regal timber
Yeah Cody return is a show ending moment
vapid saddle
regal timber
Goat line delivery
regal timber
This is fine
regal timber
AJ gets a big moment on the card and there's no risk of punk logan
regal timber
I'm never mad at my goat being on these wrestlemanias
obsidian hound
y r they having a match if they gonna have another match at mania seth and phil
regal timber
I need cena and styles to have one more match so bad
vapid saddle
y r they having a match if they gonna have another match at mania seth and phil
hoping roman interferes in it
regal timber
y r they having a match if they gonna have another match at mania seth and phil
Roman Seth Punk triple threat at mania maybe
vapid saddle
I need cena and styles to have one more match so bad
i think so
regal timber
I'm hoping that this is why they're building styles back up
obsidian hound
but aint he homies with cm punk now
regal timber
To give him a first feud for Cena post mania
AJ is always the best first feud
Wait dudeeeeee
Clash at Paris
obsidian hound
aint he gonna get sick like that
vapid saddle
X
obsidian hound
they are having a eu tour soon huh
vapid saddle
would cool
cook
yeah they are wavy
bianca the mastermind behind jade being attacked
obsidian hound
they should do loser shaves their hair with bianca bel air
regal timber
Man Cena Styles 4 will actually save me
That is my favourite rivalry I think
Best part of 2016-17 WWE
regal timber
Dude every single time I thought AJ wasn't gonna win because it was cena
vapid saddle
was always my dream match glad it happened and didnt disappoint
obsidian hound
how come people cant use chairs or kendo sticks but bianca can use hair
aint that ilegal
regal timber
When he kicked out of the avalanche AA at summerslam I literally jumped tf out my seat
regal timber
was always my dream match glad it happened and didnt disappoint
As a tna fan as a kid AJ was always my favourite
regal timber
11 year old dannald was front row at TNA live tapings in the UK lol
obsidian hound
i remeber seeing john cena when i was in 10th grade
regal timber
That's my finest wrestling fan credential
regal timber
Man I am gonna go rewatch this entire feud this week
vapid saddle
IYO sky >>>>
vapid saddle
hmmm idk
will prob have rhea beat iyo clean to build her up more for mania
which i hope nt
obsidian hound
how come liv morgant didnt do anything today
vapid saddle
also got her ahhh beat at chamber
drifting dove
Oh nice we’re past the 2 hour mark
drifting dove
either they have a clean match and Bianca stands face to face with the winner
obsidian hound
how come they dont do a storyline for a ref turned wrestler did they do that yet
drifting dove
Or Bianca gets hit somehow and it becomes a triple at wrestlemania
vapid saddle
id be cool with a triple threat
drifting dove
I think iyo did not protect herself with that apron slam
vapid saddle
i got ads :/
regal timber
It's weird seeing rhea wrestle not on a ple
She's like, special attraction level star power
regal timber
Wow
vapid saddle
no uh netlfix sorry
regal timber
No wait, the first netflix one
vapid saddle
netflix debut
obsidian hound
hurry up its past my bed time
regal timber
This match could main event a ple and its a free raw match
vapid saddle
love the kari sane elbow
obsidian hound
now do the asuka charlot flair move
regal timber
This is a banger
vapid saddle
ouch
vapid saddle
drifting dove
Nothing scarier than seeing the edge of that announcer table
vapid saddle
is this no dq?!
regal timber
No, the referee is just using her discretion because it's a title match
drifting dove
heel rhea again?
vapid saddle
thats a first tbh
drifting dove
Rhea could’ve won by now
vapid saddle
WHAT
regal timber
Oh my god
vapid saddle
wtf???
regal timber
Holy fucking shit
obsidian hound
i told u
vapid saddle
wtf!?!?
regal timber
What the fuck
vapid saddle
im genuinely shocked
obsidian hound
my insider told me
regal timber
That was incredible what a match
vapid saddle
i think rhea gonna turn heel attack bianca then she gonna attack IYO too and they both deman her in the mania match
obsidian hound
the storyline is gonna be a triple threat though
theyre gonna say it shouldve been a dq
obsidian hound
thats how we get the triple threat
vapid saddle
regal timber
No I think iyo gives rhea the match
Rhea gave Iyo this chance remember
I think iyo makes it a triple threat and asks to add rhea
vapid saddle
i just cant see rhea being out of mania
regal timber
And I think rhea then turns on her after
vapid saddle
yea i see that happenning
obsidian hound
iyo is gonna win and then asuka returns and is heel and beats iyo
and kairi insane is someewhere what happened to them
drifting dove
LMAO Rhea f bomb
regal timber
Heel Cena gonna announce that they've brought bin laden back to life
regal timber
Yo it's literally a deadly alliance
I beg they call it that
Surely rock has ties at WB
Cena is literally in mortal Kombat and rock probably wants to be in the next DC game

Abyss in the NBA pack with khali okay that totally makes sense

NBA stars gonna have some AEW moves I bet so whatever lol
regal timber
R we getting Kenny at mania holy shit
paper locust
Fuck lmao
regal timber
I'm genuinely shocked they put new jack in because like, who's buying the game because of new jack
He's niche even to wrestling fans
regal timber
And the immediate thing anyone who's not familiar with him sees is his various crimes
paper locust
What the fuck you mean NEW JACK is in the game
Yeah
"Oh let's watch some New Jack matches" attempted murder each match
Mass Transit DLC when
regal timber
Can anyone even name a new jack wrestling move lol
Never in my life have I seen him wrestle and I'm more committed than casuals
paper locust
He's not even a good wrestler lol I think he's mostly known for A) hurting a lot of people and B) kinda being a death match adjacent guy? Like all his shit I've ever seen looks like he's just a death match dude from the 90s/early 2ks

(Abyss making it in is fucking awesome)

Abyss making it in rocks, I loved his theme
The 5 non-wrestler entrants fucking suck ass though

NBA stars are genuinely going to be used as an excuse to use AEW moves

Joe Hendry ❌
NBA Stars ✅
Weird as hell
paper locust
I thought he was in AEW
He is, just split with Caster and Bowens iirc
sour bay
This is huge, tho, cause this opens the doors for people like Jericho and Ambrose in future games
regal timber
He's not even a good wrestler lol I think he's mostly known for A) hurting a lot...
Yeah he can't wrestle
vapid saddle
X
paper locust
Game looks good otherwise. A lot of copy and paste shit but that's to be expected from a yearly release tbh
The Island shit sounds kinda bad but whatever
regal timber
It's just 2ks new thing to shill and make money off, apparently they have one for the NBA game
paper locust
Yeah. But not being able to import a CAW from the Island to the main game is gonna kill it for me real quick lol
regal timber
Oh that's gonna be tedious lol
I won't lie the only WWE game I play is battlegrounds
paper locust
Why am I gonna spend two hours making a wrestler I can't port to main roster?
regal timber
Yeah real
paper locust
That's like 85% of my 2k gaming. Getting super high and imagining a man
sour bay
2K really needs to pull a Just Dance and make a full-on live service WWE game, with yearly roster additions as ‘2026 editions’
No more yearly releases, just one game with the gameplay polished and major updates every 2-3 months to add new arenas, superstars, etc.
It’s better than just having people pay $70 a year for a near-identical game but with a new roster
paper locust
It's honestly one of the reasons Fight Forever being dogshit was so disappointing
regal timber
That's like 85% of my 2k gaming. Getting super high and imagining a man
Lmfao
sour bay
That or have the games come every 2-3 years with yearly season passes
So they can spend longer trying to perfect the features for the next one
regal timber
The thing is they'll just never do it, they always sell so well
Every major sports game does this shit
paper locust
I wanna see the tables turned, god dammit
Give me a madden game with Roman Reigns and Goldberg DLC
Let me DDT Pat Mahomes
regal timber
Yk when you put it like that I get why casuals enjoy the guests
Bcuz id go nuts for wrestlers in sports games
I'm getting into US sports this year I've committed
paper locust
Ironically I've been thinking about getting super into rugby and hockey lmao
regal timber
That's funny lol
Hockey is cool I might try watch more of that too, excellent sport
NBA I've been getting into lately, NFL I'm gonna try since I enjoyed superbowl
paper locust
Hockey is super fun in person to watch
regal timber
Yeah that's what got me into it originally
Saw the Blackhawks when I visited my aunt
I've never been handed such an absurdly large drink and pretzel in my life
paper locust
Fun fact! I think it was Fox who wanted to make hockey an easier watch foe those at home so they introduced a ring around the hockey puck so it could be tracked easier for the at home audience, it was affectionately referred to as "glow puck"
It didn't work out but they used that technology for the first down lines for the NFL you see on TV
regal timber
That's funny
I will say I've literally never seen anything break out of the US basketbal bubble like this Luka trade lol
Was all over my feeds and id literally never even heard of him before
paper locust
Yeah I don't watch or follow anything basketball related and that hit my TL like ot was the second tower
regal timber
Usually you need to go out of your way to see anything US sports related
paper locust
Yeah I can't imagine tbh. Like I see shit about other countries politics but that's because I follow a bunch of leftists.
Oh shit I just realized Rosey and Jamal are in the game
THREE MINUTE WARNING I LOVE YOU
regal timber
We get fuckloads of us politics obvs
It's uh, been a bit of a wild week for international relations
regal timber
At least it seems to be pushing us to closer ties with the EU
paper locust
But at least dems are protesting by.. wearing pink and holding "flase" signs
Truly the resistance we need
regal timber
Allying ourselves with the EU and getting close again is the only hope our economy actually has long term
The only solace I'm getting is that thank fuck we don't have the Tories in power rn
paper locust
Meanwhile we have the modern version of Mussolini and Gentile lmao
regal timber
Yeah I find it terrifying enough from here let alone actually living in the US

Okay so, the Island
MyFaction and The Island share VC
Which fucking sucks because I don't like MyFaction at all
But it also raises a massive concern I had, too. You get about 170 vc per match in The Island. The cheapest thing you can buy I believe is like hair styles? But each style is 9k VC
Means you have to win 53 matches to buy a fucking haircut
obsidian hound
Which means you can get 9k VC for 9 dollars
If it was EA making the game it would have ultimate team gambling
I think the last game I played was smackdown versus raw

Yeah it looks sick I really wasn't expecting a unique animation
MyFacfion and The Island gripes aside (they're cash grabs and it's dogshit) everything else looks like a step up from last year
keen yew
Yeah I had a lot of gripes with 24
paper locust
There's an additional camera option this year too that's like a floating 3rd person cam?
keen yew
Ill still wait for any potentially unwelcome suprises before considering but im interested
keen yew
There's an additional camera option this year too that's like a floating 3rd per...
Nausea inducing from what I saw
paper locust
Yea but I can see how it'd be cool for like content creators or whatever
paper locust
I think a lot of issues with 2k, as well as QOL changes, could be addressed with leaving last Gen behind sadly
keen yew
Dude please
The pc version is always technically a uprsed version of the last gen one
So I guess in that sense not having the island is just fucking fine by me lmao
I would never even launch it
Same with myfaction
paper locust
Only reason I'll launch Island is if there's a specific hairstyle I need or if there's character unlocks
Same, unfortunately, for MyFaction
But I DETEST the push of MyFaction
Locking shit behind it for main game is lame
And the timed live events
keen yew
Oh man Im probablly gonna be deflated cause I saw one hairstyle that may be island exclusive that is literally my hair irl
paper locust
Like the 3 versions of CM Punk
keen yew
And the timed live events
Yeah fuck that noise
paper locust
I hate that shit
I didn't get a sports game to have to spend time playing a card game
keen yew
Yeah!
My ass will get it for gm mode
Is that much smarter? Well at least gm mode isnt a fucking microtransaction thing
paper locust
The changes to Universe mode seem.. interesting at least.
Being able to put multiple shows on one day is pretty cool as well as setting up PPVs and stuff
I really hope they kept the blood staining the mat, I really liked that
And they apparently added bruising, too? That seems pretty cool.
keen yew
2k23 the universe mode was buggy as tits
Same with 24
Idk if I wanna invest time in 25…
Even though 17, 18 and 19 I have a lot of universe stuff which was awesome

I didn't have a lot of problems with universe mode but it also got pretty boring pretty quick for me
keen yew
I used to love it
I did kinda transition my simulation game from WWE to Sims 4 tho0ugh
I like having a world to tinker with and do stuff in and that was awesome in 2k19/18 for me
paper locust
What i sink the most hours into is just character creation
Each character is influenced by specific amalgams of wrestlers with specific back stories and attitudes that I try to convey through their moveset
Newest one I have is based loosely around KENTA and some AJPW dudes lmao
keen yew
Thats cool
I have my repitore of personal caw's id make
And then usually fill out with aew or other guys and polish them up to work well for the modes I play
paper locust
There's two dudes I've made every game since 2k20 lol. One is my main alter I guess? Usually the one I do MyRise with
paper locust
I really wish they'd fully acknowledge ECW more in the games man
A roster with Raven and Tazz would be sick

Is 2K25 lookin instant cop able ?
I haven’t kept up with it besides seeing the island shit
paper locust
Blood on the mat remains again this year and the bruising adds some nice effects tbh
It's looking good so far, only done one match. So glad at least diving finishers from ladders are back
paper locust
They've removed rhe bottoms I've been using on my guy since 2k22 
paper locust
Wait it’s already out ?!?
Early access today, drops next week everyone else
vapid saddle
Ah that makes sense
paper locust
Nicest thing I can say rn is that graphically It's as impressive as ever, which is a given
There is a LOT of CAW options locked behind the island
vapid saddle

bro did a 6 day fast , water only holy shit

paper locust
At least for gear
paper locust
Found my pants, I think they changed it from bottoms to tights smfh
But yeah, graphically, game is very impressive. The addition of bruises really adds a fun layer to everything
A lot of the facial hair looks better, too, but some of it looks like absolute dog shit
Again, SO MUCH is locked behind the Island, feels like a fifth of all CAW assets are locked behind it
vapid saddle
Looks like 2K pretty much forcing you to play the island to unlock caw stuff lol
paper locust
There's a lot
Glass in NXT parking lot. Can't manipulate it at all but it's sitting on 4 chairs
Wish the sfx for the glass was different
Sounds more like clattering than shattering

37 characters are behind MyFaction cards
Most, if not all, are alts. Lots of "elite" characters and shit like CM Punk Masked 2010, CM Punk S.E.S. version, etc..

He says he didn't bulk up and he weighs less though
He's 100% on the juice and that's fine but come on now aj
regal timber
Oh yeah and technically they're on like, prescribed things to aid injury recovery
But it's why AJ and randy came back so crazy jacked
Is AJ gonna be bigger than Cena when they have their match
I am so excited for that this year
vapid saddle
AJ always been a bit big
More defined now
I hope they do
But I need a Cena Randy AJ faction
regal timber
He has definitely never been close to this big in his entire career but he's changed his style anyway
I think Cena AJ can still have a banger tbh
Unreal chemistry
It's like punk
Holy shit I want punk aj

I feel it has to be someone huge surely
I feel Fatu over solo
I think solo ends up face against Fatu
vapid saddle

2 more members maybe 👀
vapid saddle
I think solo ends up face against Fatu
They way they have been going on about it recently I see it happening
regal timber
I think 3rd member and then also they're allied with the new bloodline
Could the third help beat Cody at mania?
Who could it be

I’m ngl the bloodline can stay the hell out of Cena’s heel storyline I’m tired of it haha

No I agree but they're gonna clash with the rock surely
It's more Cody/Cena and rock/Roman overlapping hopefully
regal timber
I am liking karrion again lol
vapid saddle
https://fxtwitter.com/wwe/status/1896753904152375396?s=46
Before this they asked AJ about Cena turning heel and then Karrion says he’s long time legend like Cena and shouldn’t be taking disrespect 👀
Sadly he will have a feud with Logan Paul first but let him join Cena pls wwe
vapid saddle
Well everyone karrion has talked to turned heel so far
Miz , new day , shinsuke
He did have a lot of segments with Sami
regal timber
And Sami has been hitting a lot of people with helluva kicks by mistake lately
Him turning on Roman again but flipped would be crazy
Imo this Cena rock storyline has to either set up a star the level of Sami as a top guy, or elevate someone not there yet like fatu
Since once Cena leaves someone needs to be there
vapid saddle
Knowing Cena he will
He’s the most selfless top guy there ever was
I mean
Bro let AUSTIN THEORY beat him clean at a mania… solo squashed him
Like imagine stone cold or hogan being squashed like that lmfao would never happen
paper locust
2k I am BEGGING YOU to let me use the soundtrack for entrance themes again
Knocked Loose ft. Poppy - Suffocate should BE MY ENTRANCE THEME YOU FUCKERS
paper locust
I need to figure out who uses the "Psycho Trap" finisher in the fed because that shit is a joshi finisher lol
The soundtrack this year is fire
paper locust
okay they added a new thing to CAW movesets now
You know how in the finishers you could tab over to "corner vs grounded opponent"? Now it's just a regular option in the grounded moveset
sour bay

Saw someone share their CAW so I decided to share my own (2K24)
‘The Royal Scum’ Arthur Phillips, with custom logos I made
Basically, his gimmick is that he was brought up in a notoriously hated upper-class British family, but he instead relishes in being hated because it puts all the attention onto him. So he basically does everything in his power to piss off fans and other wrestlers by being a complete jerk, playing dirty in the ring and brutalising crowd-favourites to choruses of boos.
He’s a scumbag, and he loves it

2k25 is kind of a mess right now. MyRise is really hit or miss. Some people (me last night after the patch) had the game error out upon launching it, some CAW shit is messed up, and PC was having issues with cross plat community creations
I think once they address those, the game is going to be absolutely stellar
