Wkly Hit List: This Is Our WrestleMania Kickoff, 4/1/2023

Happy April Fools KlicKNettars, and big birthday shout-out to my sister Maunda. We are here on this WrestleMania Weekend where "The Greatest Spectacle in Sports Entertainment" will take place at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles beginning tonight at 8PM EST/5PM EST. I'm here to give my KlicKNettars two options: you can watch the WrestleMania Kickoff tonight at 6PM on Peacock, or you can stick to this post and hear me mouth about what I think gonna happen at SoFi. Of course, we'd have to get past a few things first like, the 7-Day Round-Up for instance.

Soooooo, I guess some of you heard that some guy named Donald Trump who just to be President of the United States of America got indicted by a grand jury in New York City. But that story can be tabled for a great episode of FakeTV Box in the future. We're currently in post-production for the 99th episodes of FTB and I'm a little nervous about doing the 100th Episode. For now, let's deal with the NOW Story! What the heck is the Now Story you ask? It's not a Sneak Peek of the Week, it's more of a developing story which hasn't reached its conclusion, I don't think. One week ago today, the news broke that MCU Star Jonathan Majors was arrested for allegedly assaulting his girlfriend. Well, our friend, The Cosmic Wonder uploaded a video on his own YT Channel, revealing the details that prove that Mr. Majors is in fact, I-N-N-O-C-E-N-T!

BREAKING! Jonathan Majors PROVED INNOCENT By TEXTS

Our Inside Scoop this time around is the Main Event we've all been waiting for. Where I tell you my thoughts about WrestleMania 39. We can talk for the next hour about John Cena vs Austin Theory for the United States Championship, the very first match of WrestleMania 39, we could talk about the Seth "Freakin'" Rollins vs Logan Paul, we could also talk about Rhea Ripley vs Charlotte Flair for the SmackDown Women's Championship, or go on and on and on and on and on and on about Asuka vs Bianca Belair for the RAW Women's Championship. Better yet, why don't we discuss The Usos defending the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championships against Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn, but we don't have time for that, because WrestleMania begins in a bunch of hours from now.

The truth is, I just wanna talk about one thing concerning WrestleMania, and that's the Main Event tomorrow night. It's going to be between the "Tribal Chief" Roman Reigns and the "American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes, with the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship. This match has been teased for 3/4 of a year and we started to feel the hype back at the Royal Rumble in San Antonio, Texas. That was the night when Cody Rhodes won the 2023 Men's Royal Rumble Match, and the night when we thought to GOD that The Rock would return to WWE in some way shape or form. The Royal Rumble back in January told us a lot about what's to come this weekend, people have even said that it could very well be the beginning of the end for The Bloodline, led by Roman Reigns, who reminds me of Kang the Conqueror from Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania.

If you die hard WWE fans have been watching both RAW and SmackDown for the past couple of months leading up to WrestleMania, then you know that The Bloodline have been on a reign of terror which has grown about three years now. Roman Reigns has held on to the Universal Championship for 939 days, he's held on to it since late August 2020 and I watched it on Peacock when it happened. Now we've come to April 2023, it seems like Roman has beaten every guy there is, retaining his championship by any means necessary, he even merged the Universal Championship with the WWE Championship at last year's WrestleMania in Dallas, and it became the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship and yet still he's been untouchable. His family's heritage and legacy has been one of the biggest reasons why  Roman Reigns has been one of the Greatest Performers in Sports Entertainment History.

Cody Rhodes, on the other hand, has his own wrestling family, his own heritage, and a legacy to carry on from his father, the late great Dusty Rhodes.  His first run in WWE stretched over ten years between 2006 and 2016, so I've been there to see most of his matches during that period of time. Then I saw him make appearances on The CW's Arrow, after that I never heard from Cody again, until I started hearing things about the Bullet Club, The Elite, and of course AEW. Despite never winning the AEW World Championship, I was more than happy when Cody came back last year at WrestleMania 38, beginning his quest to "finish the story." That story is to win the one title his father could not, and that's the WWE Championship. When watching all the confrontations between Roman and Cody they have never laid a hand on each other, and last night on SmackDown was their last face-to-face meeting before the Main Event of WrestleMania Sunday tomorrow, we actually have the whole thing right here.

This now brings me to who I predict will win the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship. My prediction is that...........Roman Reigns will remain as a double champion, and here's why. Cody Rhodes is the fan favorite long before the Royal Rumble, but history is now Roman's side more than Cody's.  Roman needs two months to do something that hasn't been done in a long time and that's holding on to a World Championship for one thousand days. We've seen superstars hold on to their world titles for over a year, it's a trend that has gone on in modern-day wrestling since 2011 I believe. Roman Reigns has said time and time again to "Acknowledge Him," it's actually becoming a catchphrase that's catching in on quick, I remember not too long ago that my mom once told me to "Acknowledge Her" and boy am I gonna do a lot of acknowledging her on her birthday in a few weeks. Cody Rhodes has a chance to become the Top Guy in WWE, but I fear that WWE is not ready to move on from Roman Reigns as he has lived up to his name as the "Head of the Table," and after seeing so many men coming oh so close to dethroning, he is now in my estimation: Kang the Conqueror of World Wrestling Entertainment.
