How WWE Should Debut The Elite
All signs point towards Cody Rhodes pointing at the sign once again in 2024, and looking at the current state of play within the Roman's crumbling empire, he may actually get to #FinishTheStory. What better way to do it than with his Elite brethren by his side, closing out the 40th edition of WrestleMania as the company did the 30th, 20th and 10th editions - the unconventional wrestling fan's favourites making it to the Sports Entertainment pinnacle?
Should Roman Reigns assemble a bigger group of loser heavies to replace The Bloodline when Solo Sikoa joins The Usos on the other side of the Samoan divide, Omega, Page and The Jacksons would be perfect to run interference to ensure that 'The American Nightmare' doesn't get screwed over like he was at WrestleMania 39.
WWE could steer headfirst into some rather convenient lore too - Cody tried and failed to get the job done when he had Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn ostensibly watching his back. The prospect of The Bucks working former PWG colleagues and the two men that seemed like dead certs for jumping to AEW years earlier would be yet another dream match in a laundry list of them. That's assuming Hangman & Kenny don't fancy a go at that too.
Omega's own longterm singles goal can be teased on that very night his friend reaches the zenith - in helping Cody finish his story at long last, he would be starting his own. The pair's civil war within Bullet Club between 2017-2018 was one of the defining developments for the group. Going for Round Two over the WWE Championship would be a remarkable feat. Not least because Cody contracted himself out of ever feuding for AEW's top title back in 2019.
If it sounds like gift-wrapped gold from the opposition, it's because it would be. But timing is everything in wrestling, and would 2024 be just right for the both sides of the switch?
