Carmella and Corey Graves are teasing a big announcement, two matches are allegedly already
confirmed for next year’s Wrestlemania, and WWE reportedly had to correct something
that Ronda Rousey was doing.
So we’ll take a look at everything going here
Starting off with Corey Graves and Carmella’s big announcement
Corey Graves and Carmella have been building up hype lately for a big announcement that
they will make soon
Carmella took to Twitter to tease the announcement even more and said, quote:
“We are up to something.
Can’t wait to fill you all in” End quote
They’ve been teasing the announcement ever since and they’ve been asking their followers
for guesses as well
Some fans wondered if it can be that they’re getting their own series, Corey Graves coming
out of retirement, Corey managing Carmella, and just all these other guesses were being
thrown out there
A fan guessed that it had something to do with their podcast and Carmella said yes,
but that she can’t say anything else until given the okay
She then retweeted some links to their podcast and that’s been it so far
One of the best guesses now about their announcement is that Corey and Carmella’s podcast was
probably picked up by a larger network and will be getting a much bigger platform for
their show
Considering WWE’s partnership with Peacock, it’s safe to assume that it if the show
did get picked up, it’ll most likely be with WWE’s partner.
Peacock already has a lot of podcast shows on the platform so it is a really a good fit
and good guess
Is Corey Graves and Carmella’s podcast about to go from independent to a huge platform?
That’s what we’ll have to continue to keep an eye on
——————————-
Ronda Rousey’s return to the WWE after nearly 3 years of inactivity from the ring was one
of the biggest returns we’ve seen in quite sometime
But a lot of fans noticed something from Ronda’s first two appearances back in WWE
During her Royal Rumble return, Ronda didn’t really acknowledge the fans at all, she was
ice cold and marched directly to the ring
Even after the win, some fans still pointed out that same weird feeling that was coming
from Ronda
Then a few nights later on Raw, same sort of thing, fans felt like Ronda’s character
didn’t really seemed to be thrilled to be back in front of the WWE universe
Now compare those two appearances to her Smackdown appearance
Ronda now had a huge smile on her face, tapped some fans hands on her way to the ring, and
interacted with two big heels of Charlotte and Sonya
And Ronda’s entire demeanor there on Smackdown was much different then what we saw at Royal
Rumble and Raw
Wrestling Observer Radio reports that the reasoning behind the shift in Ronda’s attitude
is because it’s something that WWE allegedly went over with her and discussed after Raw
After Ronda’s raw promo, it had some fans wondering if she was still going to be heel
so that confusion and reception to that promo led to WWE allegedly fixing up the presentation
of Ronda’s character, and having her acknowledge the fans that are in fact cheering for her
Some fans argued that maybe Ronda was acting like that during those first few appearances
because she was expected the fans to be bitter with her
Remember what happened during Ronda Rousey’s first run in WWE, she’s a beloved massive
babyface, but then the fans started turning on her which basically ended up forcing WWE’s
hand to turn her heel
And this was of course all taking place during Becky Lynch’s rise to superstardom, so the
fans couldn’t care less for Ronda nor Charlotte, they just wanted Becky
And that was right around the time of Ronda’s last appearance.
She left WWE being this massive heel character that hated the fans and the fans returned
the favor
So when you really look at it like that, you can’t really blame Ronda for wanting to
portray her character in that light
She remembers how much the fans booed her during the last few months of her first WWE
run, so she probably came in expecting to be received like 2019 Ronda Rousey, which
obviously didn’t happen
Like we talked about before her return, it doesn’t matter who you are, if you’re
away from the ring for a long time, you’re gonna get a massive reception from the fans
when you return
Ronda Rousey is a perfect example of that, she was a massive heel last time we saw her,
but the fans erupted when she came out at the Royal Rumble
So that’s what allegedly is going on there, we may see a more smily and interactive Ronda
Rousey during the road to Wrestlemania
———————-
Wrestlemania 39, set to take place in L.A. during 2023, is already in the headlines because
of two massive matches that are already being rumored for that show
These two matches being Ronda Rousey versus Becky Lynch and Roman Reigns versus The Rock
Two major matches that have been in the making for a very long time
Some fans that were hoping to see Becky versus Ronda at Wrestlemania 38 were a bit deflated
when Ronda selected Charlotte Flair
But reports claim that WWE didn’t forget about Becky versus Ronda and how that’s
being prepped for next year’s show
We saw Becky and Ronda interact on the Raw after Wrestlemania and Ronda even threw some
extra hints there on Smackdown when she talked about how there’s a lot of people she owes
a beating to, Becky Lynch most likely being a name on that list
So it’s unfortunate that we’re not getting that match this year, but on the bright side,
it’s another entire year for WWE to build on the story thats already there between the
two of them and make the fans care about the match even more
Maybe it can be something like Roman and Brock where we see Ronda and Becky slightly crossing
paths with each other until they finally meet at Wrestlemania 39
The other reported planned match for Wrestlemania 39 is The Rock vs Roman Reigns
Now of course no one knows if Roman Reigns will still be holding the Universal title
all the way into mid 2023
But if we had to take a guess, it’s probably very unlikely that he has a three year long
title reign
But in this specific match, maybe it would be better for it to be a title match
No one expects The Rock to come back full time to WWE to be a world champion at this
stage
So if a world title is on the line in this match, you just kind of figure that The Rock
isn’t taking the title and having this big title reign post-Wrestlemania, just seems
very unlikely.
So Roman would easily be the favorite there under those circumstances
But take the title away from the match and now the winner becomes slightly more unpredictable
Sure, Roman’s the younger full time star, so he would still technically be the favorite,
but having no title on the line makes it feel like it has a better chance of going either
way
Sort of like Wrestlemania 28 with The Rock and John Cena, there was no title on the line
and it could’ve gone either way
What took away from their Wrestlemania 29 rematch was that everyone knew John Cena would
take the title off of The Rock, so the winner became predictable there
So at least with a non-title match, it has a little bit more belief of going either way
The Rock shuts Roman Reigns down, puts him in his place and then walks into the sunset,
or Roman destroys The Rock, proving that he is the new head of the family
That’s gonna be such a great story and great match.
It also means that The Rock will likely be making several appearances on WWE television
during the road to Wrestlemania 39 which will be amazing to see as well
