On a new Wrestling Observer Live, I talk about the big segment from Friday’s WWE SmackDown featuring The Rock, who added an interesting angle to the build-up for WrestleMania 41.
After initially appearing as Corporate Rock and announcing next year’s WrestleMania date for New Orleans, he then turned heel and expressed his desire to claim Cody Rhodes’ soul. I explore what this means leading into WrestleMania and whether it’s too much.
Additionally, I talk about the rest of SmackDown leading into the Elimination Chamber, and I highlight how the Anoa’i family officially are the main characters of the show.
I also go through the Elimination Chamber card and discuss what big swerve we might see on that show that could affect WrestleMania.
Finally, I break down AEW Collision as they build toward Revolution in two weeks and ponder the question of whether Toni Storm is the best character in wrestling right now.
