My bold prediction for 2006, the same as my bold prediction for 2025.

But listen, man, once you've got the bat, you may as well start swinging for fences.

Could be different if the Roman reigns Cody Rhodes match three is true.

I think Cody Rhodes will be heel before we get into 2007.

So I'm pushing it all the way to December 31st, 2006 at 0, no, 23 colon 59 and 59 seconds. Apparently I can't read a clock anymore. I just, I don't want it to happen. I think Cody Rhodes is a wonderful white meat baby face. And I think it's been an absolute joy that someone that is just good, right? It's just the personification of being a nice person has managed to be that old school baby face, right? That's what it used to be. Oh my so honorable lovely and they're going to fight fair and we like them and then mostly with austin that changed it was the right time for it to change i guess we've just doubled back round now so if we can continue that on forever i think it would be a plus but i think if he's going against roman rains and roman's reigns going after the championship even by a de facto idea from the fans being like, we want Roman to win because he's going to take the title off Cody and fans love seeing title changes for obvious reasons. That could put Cody in a heel position. Now, of course, the Roman Rainesview versus Cody is not going to last the entire year. You could come out the other side and then Cody could be heelish during that. Then he goes back to being a baby face. see and punk is very good at that he understands sort of which way he needs to stand and lots of people have been in that position if you're going to do a face versus face thing somebody kind of becomes the sort of pseudo heel there but just to throw it out there in case they am right and because we could do that program and because Cody Rhodes now been a baby face for four years,

it's a long or time to be top of the company Babyface. I think we'll get a proper Cody Hodes heel run, probably towards the end of the year. But yeah, I'm throwing it out there. My other big prediction is that maybe we'll get Randy Olt versus Cody Rhodes. But I'm pretty sure I mentioned that in December 2024. So I don't know what I'm talking about. But I think we'll get Hill Cody Rhodes in 2006. I think it'll be awesome. I think he absolutely knows how to do that. Go back and watch his TNA stuff. Go back to watch everything on stuff. Go back and watch all that stuff he did with Kenny Omega, which is obviously before the birth of AEW, which is so damn good when Cody Road is such an asshole in the best possible way. I think some people are too quick to say,

well, he could never be able to play that role. He's done it. He's done it before and he's proved it.

Plus he's done it in WWE before. You know, had the mustache, had the bag or the face.

He understands pro wrestling to a level that I think few people do. Maybe because of his family lineage,

maybe because of how much he invests it and the stuff, but he'll be ready to do it and the company will be ready to do it and they'll plan all this out and the Hillton itself should be a big deal. Or it could happen completely organically because again, people just want to cheer Roman over Cody. But yes, I'm going with Cody Rhodes turned heel. Of course I'll be totally well. look it's bold isn't it so i'm going to say that paul levec will not be involved in

wwee creative at some point in 2026.

There are two reasons I'm calling it now.

One of them is really quite interesting in how WWE might look going forward.

So the first reason is that WWE, while still doing incredible business and recording quite incredible like annual record breaking revenue, the end of the boom, it's the beginning of the end of the boom right now.

2025 was poorly received even by its otherwise like really supportive core audience and even people

who don't necessarily love WWE can see that there was a lot of interconnected

really really well thought out stuff going on in 2024 you simply cannot do the

Avengers WrestleMania 40 ending without loads and loads of TV and careful character interaction and dovetailing

stuff going on and that ending was just a really I mean what a flex of like this is what we've done

we're bringing it all together like the long term storytelling era is here is here and we're going to

show it off so I understand exactly why they did that I thought was a very very inspired idea just to illuminate this is what we're doing now show it off. So I understand exactly why they did that. I thought it was a very, very inspired idea.

Just to illuminate, this is what we're doing now.
