it looks like WWE is officially teasing the start of the Alexa Bliss and Liv Morgan tag
team, so we’ll see what’s going on there.
We’ll also see the story of Seth Rollins’ manager, latest on Cody Rhodes, and much more
Let’s start things off with the latest update for Cody Rhodes
As everyone knows by now, Cody tore his pec during training just a few days before the
Hell In A Cell event
WWE was fully prepared to pull Cody Rhodes out of the Hell In a Cell main event match
and replace him with someone like Drew McIntyre to take on Seth Rollins
Cody Rhodes obviously wasn’t a fan of that idea.
He knew the fans were heavily invested in this story, this wasn’t a kick-off match
or anything like that… this was a main event match for a premium live event
And he didn’t wanna let everyone down at the last second, so he himself insisted on
competing and going through with the scheduled match and plans
Like Cody said, no one influenced him or forced him to compete, it was solely his own decision
and something that he wanted to do
We’ve seen superstars wrestle with small minor injuries and being a bit banged up,
but we’ve never seen someone wrestle with a torn pec from the start of a match to the
end of it, just completely unheard of
So the legend of Cody Rhodes really just grew even more with this story and performance
He left it all out there and proved how much his heart is in pro wrestling
the Monday morning after that match was just full of so many rumors about the recovery
time table for Cody Rhodes
The average answer for the time he was gonna miss was just around 6 months of action
Cody Rhodes came out to the ring on Raw to address the fans and his injury, but he didn’t
really address the injury at all
All he did was imply that he could be ready in time for Money In The Bank, which everyone
knows won’t be humanly possible
So Cody teased the idea of still competing at Money In The Bank before being brutally
attacked again by Seth Rollins, with that torn pec being the focus of Seth’s attack
So even though Cody never verbally gave a time frame for his recovery on Raw, it looks
like that attack from Seth was meant to write Cody Rhodes off television with this injury
Reports claimed all week long that Cody was scheduled for surgery on Thursday and that
turned out to be true
Cody’s wife, Brandi Rhodes, took to Twitter late on Thursday to update the fans on Cody’s
successful surgery.
She had this to say, quote:
“The doctor just repaired Cody's pectoral tendon which was torn completely off the bone.
Successful surgery.
He is on the road to recovery now.”
End quote
Cody did post another picture after Raw and before the surgery, and the bruising was just
beginning to spread even more
But thankfully, the surgery was successful and now it’ll all be about that recovery
for him
Like we’ve been over before, best case scenario for Cody Rhodes, he makes a miracle recovery
and is back in 4 months from this injury like John Cena once did
But if it is a regular speed recovery, then January may be the earliest spot that we see
Cody Rhodes back in the ring, but that’s the latest on Cody for now

Seth Rollins is doing a phenomenal job on his own right now, but apparently there was
one former member of the women’s division that wanted to manage Seth Rollins
This Superstar in question was Chelsea Green
Chelsea had unlimited ideas and pitches to Vince McMahon, she would throw non stop ideas
at him to see what would stick
She has revealed a handful of those ideas that she pitched to him
One of those ideas she pitched was even joining Bray Wyatt and Alexa Bliss as the third member
of the Firefly Funhouse
Well the next old pitch she’s revealing is one that includes managing Seth Rollins
Chelsea appeared on the Ten Count podcast and had this to say about that pitched idea
with Seth Rollins, quote:
"I wanted to come out with him.
I always thought I could be a good valet but also then be able to be in the women's division.
I loved the idea of being a really 90s-style valet.
So I wanted to come out with him as his follower.
His disciple and just basically be like a yes-man, everything that he wanted when he
wanted to stir things up in each division.”
End quote
So this idea from Chelsea Green definitely had to be pitched in late 2020 because that’s
when Seth did have his group of followers going on
So it was an interesting idea by Chelsea Green, it’s obviously a great thing when a faction
includes both men and women because you get to spread that faction’s influencein both
divisions, but unfortunately for Chelsea, that plan didn’t go through
—————
Now let’s get into this big teaser from WWE that a lot of fans picked up on and that’s
the tag team of Alexa Bliss and Liv Morgan
Alexa and Liv always had a lot of similarities.
Just like for example, how they both almost had ties to Bray Wyatt
When Liv was off television in 2019, all anyone can ever talk about was the popular fan theory
of Liv Morgan joining Bray Wyatt in the firefly funhouse
WWE would go onto use that fan theory in summer of 2020, but WWE put Alexa Bliss in that spot
instead of Liv
But even after Alexa took that spot, some fans still felt like maybe Alexa could’ve
recruited someone like Liv to come join her
That never happened, but then the new popular fan theory became a tag team containing Alexa
Bliss and Liv Morgan
But the two of them didn’t really cross paths much, so it was difficult to really
get that going
But this week’s Raw finally teased and hinted at the idea of a Liv Morgan and Alexa Bliss
tag team
Despite the match being a fatal four way, everyone-for-themselves match, Alexa and Liv
made eye contract and perfectly teamed up several times throughout the match
They showed flashes of having great team chemistry and following each other’s leads
And the fans noticed these hints and went crazy because this was is a tag team that
the fans were asking to see for years now
So could we finally be on the way of seeing this long awaited tag team?
It’s definitely a huge possibility now more than ever
Alexa Bliss made her return over a month ago, but still doesn’t have any active storylines
going
Liv Morgan fighting off The Judgment Day appears to be done following Finn Balor’s heel turn,
so both women are finally free and not tied in with any other active storylines
A new and exciting tag team like Alexa Bliss and Liv Morgan is the big boost that the women’s
division needs right now, especially after losing Sasha Banks and Naomi
The women’s tag teams that are in the division right now aren’t your most exciting options
and there’s barely any teams in the division to start with
So if they do form a tag team, they’ll instantly become the new faces of the women’s tag
team divisions
Of course if Alexa and Liv do end up winning the team team titles, that would also be a
huge deal
It would be Alexa’s record tying third tag team title reign, and it will be Liv Morgan’s
first ever title win in WWE, so a big accomplishment for the both of them
Liv Morgan has been chasing the tag team titles for a long time with different partners like
Ruby Riott, Toni Storm, and Rhea Ripley, but she was unsuccessful each time
So it’ll finally put an end to that chase for Liv Morgan, Alexa would be the partner
that finally helps her get to her first ever WWE title reign that she’s been after for
so long
So if WWE wants to put the women’s division back on track with an exciting new team, Alexa
and Liv may be the route to take here
