Didn’t he randomly lose a match right before WRESTLEMANIA due to distraction or something? I can’t remember who the opponent was but maybe I’m just going crazy
Okay cool; there was a small part of me that was thinking I was misremembering it being someone else (you don’t even want to know who my brain thought the opponent was for some reason) but that makes a lot more sense
The Rock’s title isn’t an actual championship, even in kayfabe, it’s a symbolic gift he was given by Muhammed Ali’s widow because he held the moniker of “people’s champion” far before Rock. Him touting his fake title like a real one is just part of his heel persona
Cody's title is put on "the man" by the company and comes with a heap of responsibilities regarding promo appearances, marketing, presentation and generally the highest behavioural standards for talent. You're the flag carrier and face of the company, and you have to consistently show up and perform within the WWE ecosystem when you have that belt.
The Rock just got given a belt after a 10 week TV run then disappeared to do movies.
I think that's a function of modern wrestling rather than anyone involved individually. The days of a title change on Raw are a thing of the past, it should come back really, I don't wanna see any more 600+ day runs

That was drew
The Rock only pinned Cody in a tag match not a one on one let's get that clear right now.
Didn't all three of these guys win because of interference?
Drew pinned him because of the bloodline 🤷🏽♂️
Technically Damian Also Pinned Cody but it was due to Solo Sikoa’s interference
When? Never happened.
Keep it that way.
And two of those don't need a fake title to seem better than everyone in the wwe
Can I ask what’s the difference between The Rock’s title and Cody’s title?

still wish we finally had a champion that defended it on tv shows . Not just ppvs

Great answer. I was more so being sarcastic at the irony of calling a title in the wwe ‘fake’.
I mean, in an industry of fake titles the Rock's belt is the fakest
Yeah that mama rhodes belt was definitely the fakest.
Shows how much wwe is behind drew
Happy for Cody man, he looks good holding some gold fr
Of those three I see a legend, and then there's The Rock and Roman Reigns.
Didn't Lesnar beat Cody the second time they fought? Or did Lesnar make him pass out or something? I honestly can't remember.
It counts as serving Cody an L
The latter.
I’m still shocked that McIntyre got the pin there. Post rumble, run up to wrestlemainia, and Drew beat Cody almost clean.
Yeah definitely thought that match would end in a no contest
Didn't he lose to Judgement Day? I don't remember if it was him or Jey that got pinned tho
He lost yeah but Jey took the pin.
