Cody did not grace Jacksonville with his presence last night. What could have been the reason?

As Cody walked into Vince’s office, he was looking over an old pic of him and Goldust together, he then looked up, groaned, and said; “aww, I wanted the gold one.”

Maybe to avoid AEW chants? A stretch but who knows.

My guess is that they still haven't actually finalized anything yet so they want to plant seeds but keep their options open.

Until we officially see him standing in the middle of a WWE ring, I continue to assume it isn't happening.

My guess is the contract isn't finalized. Seth is an easy add to the U.S. title match if they had to. He has been wrestling triple threats on house shows for that title lately. I suppose they could do an open challenge thing at Mania as well if Seth-Cody isn't set up on Raw.

Any appearance by Cody last night was going to be overshadowed by Scott Hall's death (whether impending or actual.) It might have been seen as disrespectful to both if they pulled the trigger on Cody's return last night.
That said, I don't see Seth being shoehorned into the US title match; it's been done once before and, if Seth were to walk out of there the champion, it would go over like a lead balloon and lead to accusations that he'd politicked his way into it. It's bad enough we have Austin Theory muddying up the waters in that feud.
Seth will have a spot at 'Mania, possibly counting lights against Cody or, if that falls through, a debuting Bron Breakker.

JFK Jr. didn't tell us yet? ;-)
I came in to make or see the Veer joke, and you didn't disappoint.
Why did everyone think this week anyway? And it's good he didn't as it would be overshadowed by us all mourning Scott Hall.

I think he’s signed but they’ve chosen to either bring him out next week or have his return be at Mania. Not sure how they’d do the latter though, unless Rollins runs an open challenge gimmick.

I could see a scenario where Seth basically can't get anywhere and loses out on a US title match and then basically at WrestleMania storms the ring and demands a match. It wouldn't be the best put together scenario but it'd get people talking, I guess?

And it's good he didn't as it would be overshadowed by us all mourning Scott Hall. Go Big Show's finale was last week and RAW was in Jacksonville. I think there's just a lot of speculation and people are looking for reasons he'd show before Mania, myself included. I am still in the camp that he'll be there, but who knows. Mania makes sense at this point because otherwise it'll be one/two weeks of promos. They may get more out of him showing up at Mania and then that gets people buzzing for RAW.

I was always in the camp of Vince not denying an opportunity to take a shot at rivals ala the shots he took at WCW near the end of the MNWs but him showing up at 'Mania I guess makes sense?

Because they are going to have Seth come mouth off at 'Mania and have him return there.
Cody is super high on himself, no way he agrees to debut on Raw if he can convince them he needs a Wrestlemania return pop.

Honestly, I don't think it had anything to do with Hall given they were fine to advance other stories. I think it's just internet speculation running rampant.

I was more thinking of if anything came out to say that post-debut but yeah, it was that. Especially since by all accounts, SRS was spending most of last night going "We have no update" and if anyone would know at this point...
