@MrSantiZap Drew winning the title was right. It sets up for Jacob to win it at the Royal rumble after he wins the fatal four-way at Saturday night's main event. Which then sets up Cody to either win the Rumble or Elimination Chamber thus, becoming homelander Cody and winning it back at WM
šØ Rome Issued a Death Decree Over an Empty TombāAnd History Canāt Explain It Away
For centuries, critics have dismissed the resurrection of Jesus as myth, legend, or religious imagination. But buried in history is a stone tablet that refuses to stay silent.
Known as the Nazareth Inscription, this marble slab contains a first-century Roman decree ordering that graves must never be disturbedāand that anyone caught removing a body from a sealed tomb would face the death penalty.
That alone is unusual. Rome did not typically issue empire-wide death threats over local burial customs.
What makes this inscription explosive is its timing.
It dates to the exact period when reports of Jesusā empty tomb were spreading rapidly through Judea and beyond. According to the Gospels, Roman authorities were already dealing with claims that Jesusā body had vanished. The earliest counter-narrative wasnāt that Jesus didnāt existābut that His disciples āstole the body.ā
And suddenly, history records a Caesar-level response.
The inscription is written in Greekāthe common language of the eastern Roman Empireāsuggesting it was meant to be widely understood, not confined to Rome. It reads like an emergency order: tombs must remain sealed, bodies must not be moved, and violators will be treated as criminals against the state.
Why would Rome care?
Because an empty tomb was not just a religious problemāit was a political one. A resurrected Messiah threatened authority, order, and control. Rome crushed revolts swiftly, but this wasnāt a rebellion with weapons. It was a claim they couldnāt execute, imprison, or silence.
No body. No refutation.
Scholars still debate the exact origin of the Nazareth Inscription. But one thing is undeniable: it aligns perfectly with the earliest Christian claimāthat the tomb was empty, and everyone knew it.
Rome didnāt deny the empty tomb.
They tried to stop it from ever happening again.

I went to a funeral last spring.
Guy from church.
58 years old.
Heart attack at his desk.
The pastor said he was a hard worker. A provider.
His wife said he gave everything to his career.
His kids didn't speak.
I watched them.
Sitting in the front row.
Staring straight ahead.
They weren't crying.
They'd already grieved.
Years ago.
When he missed the games.
When he chose the office.
When he was there but wasn't.
He died on a Tuesday.
They lost him long before.
I sat in my car after and made a list.
What would my kids say?
Not what I hope they'd say.
What they'd actually say.
Based on evidence.
Based on where I sit.
Based on what I choose.
I didn't like the list.
So I started changing it.
One decision at a time.
Your kids are writing your eulogy right now.
Every day you give them new material.
What are they going to say?
That you provided?
Or that you were there?
You don't get to edit it later.
The funeral is just the reading.
The writing is today.
