If they really wanted Rock/Roman then they should have had Roman drop the title to Cody at WM. Afterwards he goes mad and starts attacking the Bloodline. That way Rock steps in as a challenge for the head of the table and Roman disappears for a while.

They would walk allover anyone to shoehorn The Rock into WWE. They will just mute the boos and pipe in cheers.
Let's not act like they did this for a decade for Cena and Roman. |

WWE reloaded the video to YouTube but cut Cody looking sad or leaving the ring. Full on damage control.

Rock is already getting outright boos at house shows when they show the segment.

I think Wwe is doing this to recreate the Daniel Bryan and Batista storyline, with alittle bit of Benoit vs HHH and HBK also in there. Make Cody a mega baby face to beat Roman and the Rock in a triple threat at mania.

If you think about it and many are starting to believe this
WWE needs this controversy badly. It’s taking away from the major scandal Anything to help deflect from what’s going on with Vince

Cody already is a mega baby face. He is the face of the company and the highest merch seller and there aren't really split crowds as with Cena and face Reigns.

And for real, they planned to destroy a good bit of the good will Rocky had with the last remaining fanbase that will tolerate his antics? No, this was just a very badly executed pivot. |

There was a smattering of boos....including the guy filming. I'll give it a few more days to see more negativity that tells me more of the fan base hates it. To me this isn't the only thing you can point to that shows the WWE is really starting to look like WCW in it's last year. The Bloodline story had so jumped the shark that it is almost unbearable to watch. Nia Jax storyline...meh.....bringing back the old guys.....Cena, Orton and now the Rock...desparate moves that will not pay off. My wife used to chase me out of the room to watch Monday Night Raw because she hates 'Rasslin" so much....now she knows she can always count on watching a movie or picking up reruns of NCIS, Bones, or BBT. |

So the story now is Rock, Nick Khan, and Ari Manuel agreed to have Rock vs Roman at WM 40 as part of the deal when they have Rock his trademark and had him join the board. This was back on January 3rd. They didn't tell anyone actually involved in the creative process until AFTER the Rumble.
