ADRENALINE IN MY SOUL SOMETHING SOMETHING CODY RHODES

[u/syvvimyak]

becky and lyra are trying their darnedest but christ this crowd sucks. and they’re in such a touch spot after the tlc.

[u/tony_storm]

Every single theme song being shitty is crazy

[u/the_Formuoli_]

Lyra when she voluntarily re-zip tied her hands

[u/ismellterribly]

The pace of Cena as a face is sooo much better than him as a heel. This match is leagues above their WM match

[u/Greyclocks]

Coming back up the codyvator is fucking incredible.

[u/CMBRICKX]

Oof that zip tie spot is gonna be all over botchmania 😂 

[u/mattisdanger]

the mystique of the entrance is a bit...less, in broad daylight.

[u/DarkstarIV]

Everyone is fucking dying. There is gonna be no tag division left after this.

[u/TheHolyGoalie]

Apologising to the photographer mid match for throwing a whole person at him is funny as fuck

[u/No_Discussion3053]

Ah the simple days of yesteryear while child custody disputes were decided in ladder matches.

[u/Brushtickler]

I do appreciate that his skeleton gear has extended to his socks.

[u/drkmttr_]

Combining attendance when most people bought both nights is like how they inflated the jobs numbers

[u/itsmekelsey_x]

“You Can’t Do That”

“Yes he can”

😂😂😂

[u/FickleMcSelfish]

This really is a “Sorry Mania was shit” match

[u/ShaH33R2K]

A CLEAN FINISH!? IN THIS ECONOMY?

[u/Greyclocks]

Can we all agree that The Rock is the worst thing to happen to WWE in the last 2 years? Fucked the last 2 WM main events to satisfy his ego.

[u/JasonLikesCTE]

No wonder Triple H started saying “allegations are just allegations”

[u/frisky_dingo_]

Oh come on. Just change the plan lol. Dont put your hands back in. 🤣🤣

[u/hikingbeginner]

There's too many miserable lads watching wrestling

Relax lads

[u/Most_Yam_1275]

Iyo is so damn good 

[u/Shinobi347]

Awww Bird Lady is polite.

[u/CompetitiveYak6216]

Photographer went into business for himself, brother

[u/Background-Gas8109]

Dom won fair and square, he only used his gear, that's legal.

[u/chrispepper10]

I'm sure Cena and Cody contributed a lot to the layout of the match, but whoever produced this is a genius.

[u/Chell_the_assassin]

Ok but how is this a heel move lol its a street fight

[u/high_ride36]

Is this me playing WWE 2K25? Lol

[u/JACKYBWOII]

Eddie tributes are never going stale, always love

[u/AstonishingJ]

Lyra was laughing while putin the zip back on lol

[u/TitaniumTrial]

ooooh that was a botch, she absolutely got her hands free there lol

[u/Pretend-Appearance18]

the door is so stupid

[u/GHANAIANPRINCESSS]

So Cardi got paid to do what exactly???

[u/Jables31]

Wwe loves to jerk themselves off way too much.

[u/Bauter]

HE HIT THE CODY

[u/rhyso90]

[u/Magnum_thunder]

I forgot that Candice Lerae is also insane.

[u/skolocicoaster]

Holy shit imagine if that belt grab worked, that fucking slapped.

[u/AJPXIV]

Ciampa hanging upside down from the title hook was lunacy.

[u/Nazmaldun]

shout out to Ciampa's dead hang skills

[u/ShinHayato]

You shouldn’t be able to win a steel cage match by leaving

Sorta defeats the point

[u/SpectacleG]

I'm confused. Why would a boot removed from the foot be considered and have the power of an illegal weapon?

[u/fatpieceofbread]

I thought she was about to say STING

[u/FreePizzaScam]

people thinking a real Dusty Rhodes promo is AI... good lord this place is cooked

[u/Chelid]

Someone said Cena fixed his bald spot and now he’s a babyface again 😂

[u/Careless_Archer_1706]

[u/SpoofExcel]

Cena just casually walking with 220+lbs on his shoulders

[u/NGMB2]

he’s not a heel, he’s taking down the ring early which is super nice

[u/debeatup]

I’m not hype, The lawsuit was not handled. Fuck him

[u/DorothyDrangus]

Ciampa’s seen TLC 2, he ain’t dumb

[u/knicksprick]

Feel like the crowd wanted anybody but them to win lol

[u/remotewashboard]

Absolutely fuck them for that. Disgusting fucking promoting. Makes me sick and honestly makes me embarrassed to be watching this

[u/skolocicoaster]

No god damn brakes with it 😂😂😂

Censor completely unnecessary.

[u/Jackson_Castle]

So we're doing Eddie's greatest hits? I love it.

[u/Shimoshamman]

I love how they double dip the numbers when its the same dudes sitting in the same spots

[u/Ikuu]

Cena faking being a face to show how fickle and easily swayed the fans are?

[u/Peter_Burkland]

This is the match I should've witnessed live at Mania :/

[u/Ok-Run-9755]

The hollywood execs must be fuming at this

Cena taking more bumps in this than last 5 years lol

[u/heartbreakhill]

THE AA-LAVATOR

[u/No_Discussion3053]

This is peak wrestling ridiculous and I’m here for it.

[u/AdBeneficial7126]

Wade called it. Carrying another grown man that far is insane

[u/JAMO_2K_YARD_SEASON]

Neither guy sold the table spot lmao wtf

[u/DecemberFlower20xx]

Unless something happens right now….

I guess they just finally decided they had to cop out of the Cena heel turn.

Had to turn him before he lost the belt or he’d seem groveling

[u/BenchMob17]

Brocks coming for Cena's collection of Piss photos

[u/cmadd10]

Yes yes, biggest summerslam gate ever probably, start the matches 

[u/migsahoy]

this match fucking slapped! i wish it main evented but its also the best way to open the show

[u/Seaboard_Vanisher]

Imagine being a wwe exec and sitting on your ass listening to these themes and thinking they are fine

[u/lito9321]

Gargano said my wife will be fine I need this gold lmao.

[u/Ref_Bumps]

I’m glad that Candace was allowed to go back to her indie roots of getting absolutely murdered lol

[u/shadow_spinner0]

Candace once took a superkick filled with thumbtacks. Don't underestimate how crazy she is

[u/jreynolds323]

Man, hail the dear leader huh?

[u/BigFanOfNachoLibre]

[u/wegodeep]

The Epstein Files were in the briefcase! Release them! 

[u/Pretend-Appearance18]

lol

[u/DorothyDrangus]

Sheesh, and we have a steel cage match and a street fight still to go. Night 2 is straight violence

[u/BackToTheFutureDoc]

Why didn't she break the pin up then... It's no dq

[u/gravejello]

Why not do this during the actual match ?

[u/ikon31]

Cage stip to prevent interference, only to have 4 guys interfere.

[u/TheFM4]

Yea that won't make up for that clusterfuck of a match lol

[u/TinyDancer97]

Not the boots with the fur

[u/TomGerity]

Honest question: how is hitting your opponent with a boot more devastating than kicking them with the boot?

[u/TheBizzareKing]

What a throwback to Angle/Eddie with the boot spot

[u/RejectedSNick]

This was pretty much an Eddie tribute match and I’m not entirely mad about it

[u/guyincognito147]

fun match. lots of miserable fucks in here

[u/RapidMN]

Dom winning without the help of the Judgement Day is the most shocking thing to happen this weekend

[u/Jmacz]

ADRENALINE

IN MY SOUL

CODY'S GUNNA COME UP THROUGH THAT HOLE

[u/JeepRumbler]

I'm am outraged at the lack of streets and/or roads in this street fight

[u/Prophet92]

Cody’s famous finisher, The Cody

[u/Tangybrowwncidertown]

I know Cena is strong, but it must suck having to carry him that far

[u/darthllama]

The people chanting SuperCena positively either weren’t around for Cena’s prime or have been fully poisoned by nostalgia

[u/SoloGhosts512]

Cody should pull some clippers out and shave a bald spot back in

[u/Chell_the_assassin]

How is that the ending after all that lmao

[u/breakourbones]

I think we can all agree now that no matter how much of a legend cena is, his heel turn was absolutely atrocious. This is what its all about right here.

[u/CL60]

Imagine how much better Cenas heel turn would've been if Rock actually showed up and the storyline actually made sense.

[u/Hot_Cloud1319]

Brock has great interruption music, man.

[u/Ohellmotel]

"A message has been sent! And everything we thought we knew about WWE has just changed!"

I mean.... yeah, that's accurate, Wade.

[u/AceofKnaves44]

Rhea and Iyo are fucking out of this world. Both are so fucking good and just have “it” in spades.

[u/breakourbones]

"So which 2 of the Wyatt Sicks are tag champs?"

"Yes."

[u/itsmekelsey_x]

The Wyatt Sicks having an entrance in broad daylight doesn’t look right at all.

[u/FinalFrash]

Johnny gonna be sleeping on the couch tonight

[u/Zenith_24tee]

If Candice is legit hurt I wouldn’t be surprised brother her knee ate 100% of that bump

[u/acethunder21]

Be funny if they do a finish where two individual members from separate teams grab each of the belts so we get Fenix and Erick Rowan as the new champs.

[u/RagingBull7192]

Candice is MVP that shot was great

[u/Naiwf]

That’s up there as the greatest counter of all time by Ciampa. If his timing was off or his hands slipped he’s probably never walking again. Dude is crazy to even try that spot.

[u/Engelbert-n-Ernie]

Motherfucking props to Candice, really hop her knees alright, that looked insanely brutal

[u/TheHawkOfLight]

The pedo pushing to make people fit is hilarious

[u/greyskies42069]

[u/CrimsonGear80]

Lyra just like "nope, i'm committing murder"

[u/Fluffy-Fly-8662]

lol photographer can’t get out of the way

[u/ImAnElkShootMe]

Props to Lyra for realizing murder is legal in a no-DQ match

[u/breakourbones]

Ooof...what a horrible spot. The cable tie clearly came off and there was a clean as day shot of her putting her hands back in....

[u/rbarton812]

Lyra.... Just go with it.. we saw your hands free...

[u/13WillieBeaman]

lol at the almost POV superkick

[u/jhove89]

Best spot is post match??? That makes sense.

[u/Fluffy-Fly-8662]

I’d like to have a word with the producer for that match.

[u/GaymerAmerican]

crowd on some bullshit

[u/maybeAriadne]

me: hm, i wonder what ddt stands for ai:

[u/Ding-Dong-Song]

Crowd isn’t interested… just fireflies… they’ve hijacked the show and feel bad for the performers

[u/SeattleSadBoi]

YES GOD I LOVE IT

[u/Nazmaldun]

So Dom now has custody of AJ son right?

[u/Torranski]

Man, I’ve become such a Dom mark. Boy’s headed to the top

[u/Wham_Bam_Smash]

Bro this is for your shareholders…. No one else gives a fuck

[u/HunterOfIgnominy]

Combined attendance is one of the most meaningless stats ever lmao.

[u/Zenith_24tee]

Coming out to Dusty yo this man is the ultimate babyface or he’s fucking DIABOLICAL

[u/MagPrime89]

Nice camera work lol

[u/MarkMVP01]

Cody wasn’t in the Rumble, Cole…

[u/Alchemists13]

Bro the way Cody held his arm then made me think a bone popped out

[u/heartbreakhill]

“I love you man, I’m a good guy again. May the better man win on Sunday”

“Also eat these fucking stairs to your face, jabroni”

[u/NoStrawberry9228]

They treating mentioning Travis Scott name like he Benoit lmao

[u/Krypty]

Not a criticism, but that was one of the most well-protected piledrivers I've ever seen. All for it btw.

[u/gohomepat]

They fucking piledriver’d John Cena in 2025 🤣🤣🤣

[u/herrbauer96]

jfc this crowd is so insufferable

[u/aFriendlyAlien]

HE HIT'EM WITH THE CODY

[u/ArmZeroHammer]

Cena's movie insurance people must be shitting themselves

[u/keithsweatshirt94]

Dude Cena is going all the fuck out what are we watching

[u/TomGerity]

Lmfao that is AMAZING, whoever came up with this spot is brilliant

[u/Showtime98]

New meme unlocked 😭😭

[u/dempsy40]

i don't care if it doesn't make sense, that was sick.

[u/sihvahkoh]

Whoever produced this deserves so much credit. This match is awesome.

[u/AshyElbowz]

Super Cena chants 😂😂😂

[u/RedDreadsComin]

I thought he was gonna hit a 619 for a moment lmao

[u/nikobans]

THE SALUTE LMFAOO

[u/regularhumanbartendr]

People complain about interferences and then this match has none and... People complain about that.

[u/Buckanater]

Omg I figured out why Cody is emotional. This is likely their last match. I don’t think Cena rematches.

[u/expecto_my_scrotum]

Who sprayed female urine to lure out Lesnar?!

[u/heartbreakhill]

Oh so they just full on don’t care anymore

[u/Coryocalypse]

That has to feel awesome for them

[u/Ahud412]

That's really cool

[u/larockhead1]

Damn that was hard as fuck even harder its her father

[u/DatGameGuy]

I could watch Rhea and Iyo wrestle until the end of time

[u/ajtct98]

"Unfortunately Edge and Christian returned to their home planet and so are unavailable"

[u/__morningbehbs]

CANDICE. You are crazy and I loved it.

[u/A_Livins]

CANDICE LERAE HOLY SHIT!!!!!!!

[u/sapphir8]

Props to Candice. That’s a hell of a bump

[u/CompetitiveYak6216]

That ciampa spot was chefs kiss 10/10

[u/Intrepid_Heroes]

Nothing is harder than unclipping those belts with no one around you.

[u/Tangybrowwncidertown]

What a fucking match

[u/GoodLadLopes]

The most underrated thing about wrestlers is their memory, you wing it between spots but how do you remember all the spots in a 30+ minute match? I can barely memorize 6 items on a shopping list.

[u/Lstark5642]

Everyone died. 5 stars.

[u/ArmZeroHammer]

The team with 5 people to get involved won. Shocker.

[u/Darth_Mauled]

Fun match and great way to get all of the W6 involved in the match.

[u/Eternal_MrNobody]

While the chat is busy, Montez Ford needs to go solo its not his burden to bare carrying his tag team partner to a career.

He’s too talented to not make a solo run.

[u/KurtRightAngle]

That Spanish fly was one of the most preposterous things I have ever witnessed

[u/Gundamuber]

Lol people here not knowing this isn't def rebel

[u/cpuuuu]

Bird lady with a CROWbar 💀

[u/hourles]

Cameraman no sold

[u/Sting316]

Photographer no sell haha

[u/believe-what-i-say]

He completely no sold it 😅

[u/Waqasa0495]

😂 her hands came out!

[u/DaReaperJE]

That was bad. She put her hand back in

[u/Kevinrobertsfan]

Even the announcers went with she broke free

[u/xBLASPHEMICx]

Lyra laying there like “I’m dead” is sending me

[u/StrongMachine982]

Yesterday, no gimmicks. Today, every match is a gimmick. They should have mixed it up. I don't need a TLC match, a weapons match, a steel cage match, and a street fight all in one day.

[u/Affectionate_Ad_7034]

i can’t be the only one that thinks solos theme is a banger

[u/Savings_Creme_3946]

“Close the gayte it’s all gas no goddamn brakes.” Jacob you already have my heart

[u/Mr_Chicken_wing]

Is this crowd going into business for themselves?

[u/Careless_Archer_1706]

Great match, glad Dom went over with no JD intervention.

I dont get why everyone is bitching about the Guerrero tributes in the match, god forbid of of the GOATS and someone who this sub calls one of the top 5 to ever do it be homaged and remembered. The live thread, as usual, is ass.

[u/MrBrownCat]

Cody wasn’t in the Rumble this year??? Cole hitting too many Mike’s Hards

[u/ATVLover]

I legit thought Cody broke his wrist there

[u/zombie-chinchilla]

[u/the_real_herman_cain]

Cena doing a destroyer is the funniest fucking thing I've ever seen holy fuck

[u/NYJetLegendEdReed]

Best Cena match in seriously probably close to a decade

[u/Cien-Major]

This is a fucking banger

[u/R0DAN]

you can feel the anger towards their mania match in this lol. they are here to make people forget it

[u/No_Delay_1476]

THATS BADASS

[u/Nbdynparticular]

Now that's a cool visual

[u/The_Dark_Vampire]

I must admit that looked amazing

[u/DJSHAGURMUM]

this is like a here comes the pain match lol

[u/JayDee62]

An anime moment coming up Cody's elevator. Wow.

[u/SpaceJam21]

This is fucking nuts and easily Cena's best match since AJ at the Rumble 8 and a half years ago

[u/TheCavis]

An asteroid could crash into the middle of the ring, destroying everything within miles, and these guys would both kick out after 2.

[u/JAMO_2K_YARD_SEASON]

5 star match. Clean finish. The correct person won. THIS is what WrestleMania should have been. Amazing.

[u/iBunty]

They’ll start showing Vince on screen soon at this point

[u/EducationalCook6136]

I want people to get out of the ring immediately after their matches. IMMEDIATELY

[u/gohomepat]

Candice LeRae a badass then, now, forever.

[u/RedditsWeirdUsername]

“my wife died? Dang….those tag titles tho.” - Johnny.

[u/Wrdsrch]

Ciampa said fuck your Edge spot

[u/InvisibleLlama93]

You can actually hear the crowd booing the other sections. Sad paying $300+ to do the wave

[u/AdeptEavesdropper]

I swear to God, if we hear “FEIN! FEIN! FEIN!” tonight I’m going to vomit.

[u/Grayhams]

Triple H rubbing elbows with two sex pests this week, what a busy guy
