Brock Lesnar actually went off script at Elimination Chamber, so we’ll check that story out.
We’ll also check out some possible feuds for Alexa Bliss, and some Cody Rhodes news
Let’s start things off with everything Brock Lesnar related
Reports claim that Brock Lesnar actually went off script during the Elimination Chamber
match
Right before he was scheduled to be released from his pod, Brock Lesnar broke out of the
cage and freed himself
PW-Insider reports that Brock breaking his pod was not a planned spot, Brock Lesnar made
that decision on the spot
Brock didn’t get scolded or get in any trouble for that moment, he actually got a lot of
praise for that moment
It was a great moment, it really made him look like a massive star.
He made his own moves
And usually in the Elimination Chamber match, the entire goal is to rest and get into the
match as late as possible, so the fact that Brock was willing to give up that time advantage
and come into the match a bit earlier does make him come off as being courageous and
tough
So it was a decision by Brock that was greatly received by WWE and the fans
It was also reported that Brock Lesnar’s WWE character is just pretty much his regular
personality
Ever since 2012 to 2020, Brock was basically playing someone that he’s nothing like.
He was playing this stone cold heartless tough guy
But now his character can still be just as dominant, but there’s more personality to
him now, and you see how interactive he’s being and how much fun he’s having
And it’s a big improvement, remember that the problem with Brock Lesnar’s appearances
on Raw before was that nothing ever happened
Brock would just jog in place for a few minutes, Heyman would speak on his upcoming match,
and then the two of them exit the ring, and it got to the point where it was becoming
too repetitive
But now with Brock Lesnar segments, it’s fun again because now we don’t know what
he’s gonna do and it’s a bit more unpredictable
He can come out and be silly or cause chaos, there’s just more options there to choose
from with his new character
Brock Lesnar’s next big match is Wrestlemania 38 for the WWE and Universal Titles
Of course no one knows who’s gonna win that match right now, but a lot of fans are leaning
towards Roman Reigns because it’s hard to picture Brock Lesnar going on a hiatus with
both of WWE’s world titles
That means both Raw and Smackdown will be left without a world title on their shows
for several months, it just seems highly unlikely
But if Roman wins, he’s a full time superstar, he’ll be able to appear on both shows for
a bit
But it’s great to see Brock Lesnar being himself and having so much fun while doing
it
Like we went over a few days ago, Brock Lesnar doesn’t like being in front of large crowds
and it takes him a few days to fully recover from it every time
And everyone was talking about how relatable that is because the majority of people don’t
like public speaking in front of massive crowds either, that’s completely nerve-racking
So for Brock to struggle with that but still go up there and get it done is something that
you have to salute him for
He’s not a fan of doing that and it really messes him up for days, but he still gets
it done for the fans and for the show, so it’s something that everyone deeply appreciates
Hopefully more great Brock Lesnar moments are still right around the corner

Cody Rhodes going to WWE is one of the most talked about rumors right now in the wrestling
scene
Even though Cody Rhodes is a free agent and could still technically go back to AEW if
he so pleases, everyone seems to believe that Cody to WWE is a done deal
AEW even removed Cody Rhodes from their intro which was a small detail that everyone did
pick up on
WWE is now even teasing the fans about Cody Rhodes, so we’ll take a look at what they’re
teasing and what could come from that
The first situation the fans discussed for Cody’s return was being The Miz’s mystery
partner
The Miz even referred to his partner as being “dashing”, a direct reference to one of
Cody’s old WWE personas: Dashing Cody Rhodes
Of course it ended up being Logan Paul, but for a second there, it seemed like they wanted
you to at least think about it being Cody Rhodes
But then again, no one really wanted it to be Cody Rhodes in this spot because it would’ve
been a let down for him to return as a tag team partner for The Miz
The next spot fans were discussing was the Saturday MSG show where Brock Lesnar will
defend his title against a mystery opponent
The opponent is supposed to be Bobby Lashley, but everyone expects him to miss that match
due to injury, so they will have to find a fill-in for Lashley
That’s when fans started suggesting Cody Rhodes, but there’s a few issues with that
logic
Firstly, this may be a non-television event that doesn’t even appear on Peacock and
if it doesn’t then no way you use his return without cameras being there
And the second reason why it can’t be him is what is he gonna do in that spot, lose
to Brock Lesnar on his first night back?
Unless he’s taking the WWE title from Brock Lesnar, there’s no reason for him to be
in that match
The best case scenario would be the Raw after Wrestlemania.
That show always has high expectations of having big moments and big returns, so a return
from Cody Rhodes perfectly fits that category
So we’ll see what goes down with Cody Rhodes’ return, but WWE is definitely already hinting
and teasing it, so we’ll see what happens
—————-
Last we talked about Alexa Bliss, we questioned the decision to bring her back at Elimination
Chamber just to lose like that
We then had the report about how WWE was considering doing a false finish/double pin to protect
Alexa Bliss, and we asked: why even put yourself into that situation then?
Simply put a wait on Alexa’s return
Then we talked about how Raw will probably give us more answers
Well Alexa Bliss had no part on Raw coming off of a big return at Elimination Chamber
and now this makes things even more bizarre
Now it seems like there was officially no plans for Alexa Bliss, so now the Elimination
Chamber return really doesn’t make sense
We said that maybe one of the interactions that Alexa had with Rhea, Liv, or someone
else during the chamber match will set something up for Raw, but Alexa was not of the show
at all
This is a big deal because we just saw her return at Elimination Chamber, usually when
someone returns at a big event like that, they’re on Raw the following week, even
if it’s just a promo segment
So fans were beyond stunned to see Alexa Bliss have no role on Raw fresh off a return
Some fans thought Alexa would appear after Rhea’s match to start something with her
Remember that Rhea was the one to eliminate Alexa Bliss from the Royal Rumble way back
in 2021, and nothing ever came from that moment, so there’s still some revenge to have there
Maybe Alexa even confronting Nikki, who she also has a lot of history with, but nothing
happened after that match
So then the Bianca Belair segment happened and everyone thought “okay, Alexa is coming
out here to have something to say about this Wrestlemania match”, but nothing happened
No therapy sessions post-scene, no follow up, no Alexa’s playground, or anything,
it’s almost as if she never returned in the first place
And it was something that a lot of fans were talking about, it’s a three hour, put Alexa
bliss up there for 30 seconds just talking about her intentions and what she plans to
do now that she’s back
But to completely ignore her existence fresh off a big return is just such a mind blowing
decision to make
It sort of gives you Bray Wyatt flashbacks, and hopefully that’s not what’s going
on at all because just like Bray, Alexa is just too talented to be sitting on the sidelines
in a creative mess like this
With all the time and effort they put into the therapy sessions, it had everyone fooled,
we thought they were really invested in portraying Alexa’s character the right way with a great
story
But now coming off the chamber loss and no appearance on Raw, it’s definitely not time
to ring the alarm, but it definitely is concerning, no denying that
