After Cody exited the ring they showed him walking away with Reigns and Rock in the ring and the Wrestlemania sign over them. Then they show Rock in the ring looking at Cody all the way down the ramp before finally turning to Reigns as seconds remain in the episode. Are they still angling towards a triple threat? Cody vs Rock in the future? I don't know why they interacted for so long after Cody left the ring. Did Rock see Cody's reaction then feel bad for him? The wholre situation is layers of strange.

The story has been leveling up the Bloodline, and Roman eventually ceding the Head of the Table. Which has been going on longer than a year.

They have been doing that for longer than a year in the hopes of having someone finally able to dethrone Roman. Cody's story was all about doing just that. They were intertwined. The guy literally has a shouting match with Roman to end the Royal Rumble and picks him informally.

This is WWE being WWE. Thought we were done with part timers taking up main events. Instead we get two of them in a main event.

Punk's injury and Vince being Vince happened. Not sure if this was the way to adjust but they had to.

Dwayne apparently though Mania was in trouble with Punk and Brock both taken off the table and he needed to step in to save the event

Insert CM Punk obligatory "Wrestlemania is the attraction" comment.

Ironic that he is back with the company and what pissed him off the first time happens again lol.

Logically, it would be either Sami Zayn or Jey Uso since they were in it. And not only in it, but not in a competing company when it started.

That wouldn't work for Dwayne, who apparently has veto power over even HHH.

Dude is going full Hogan back there.

What if he's planning on going full on nWo Hollywood Hogan on this? Get all his family to help him beat Roman. Make Solo and Jimmy turn on Roman? The problem with that would still be that as I've mentioned before, his schedule on IMDB profile is very full, which makes the windows that they could use him, very tight.

According to PWInsider, The Rock pushed for the WM main event with Roman with the full backing of TKO, Ari Emanuel and Nick Khan. Sounds like HHH was not included in this decision making:

PWInsider.com is told this wasn’t done to target and politic Cody out of his main event out of malice, but out of the belief that Johnson was the best idea to make money now and respect his new position with the company’s parent company. This was a strategic move to give Johnson more political power overall and to show Endeavor’s faith in his involvement and that even Paul Levesque, who has done an admirable job as the Chief Creative Officer, would "lose that power struggle with Johnson at this point", as one source surmised.

One source confirmed to PWInsider.com that former Senior Vice President of Development at Johnson’s Seven Bucks Productions, Brian Gewirtz will be in the mix as the voice representing Johnson in the WWE Creative process going forward. There are some who believe Gewirtz, who at one point was one of the longest tenured WWE Head Writers, will be around physically at least for major shows going forward, could even be there as a “Plan B” if Endeavor ever needs to pivot WWE's direction and go with a Johnson-backed creative team down the line.

One WWE talent privately wondered to PWInsider.com this morning if perhaps Johnson was going to be the plan all along but he hadn’t committed until late in the game, which made them wonder where CM Punk would have been positioned if he hadn’t torn his tricep, and whether that injury prevented Punk from learning he too, would have lost that Wrestlemania main event slot. There’s no way to ever know that but it was something that has to be pondered given how quickly WWE turned the Wrestlemania creative direction for Johnson.

According to PWInsider, The Rock is also making 30 million dollar a year in stock options for his board seat, some of that partially contingent on the financial numbers he brings in. So this sounds very much a money decision.

Lol Rock going full Hogan. This might even be more Hogan than Hogan.

It won't happen but I would love if the crowd shit all over him during the match. Would probably need a NY crowd for that

Philly crowd will definitely turn on Rock, but will they turn on Roman too? Brock vs Goldberg reaction would the best. Hell, put CM Punk as the guest ref in that match.

I am curious to see how badly Rock gets blown up in this match and we should get some good TV segments between everyone involved, but I'm not really looking forward to either Men's world title feuds now.

I am still looking forward to the women's stories and one of those matches should close night 1.

The mid card belt feuds should still be good too. Logan Paul is good at what he does, and Gunther can spin literally anything into gold. No idea what they plan to do with the IC belt at the moment, but odds are it ends up match of the weekend because of Gunther.
