Who does Roman face at Mania?

[ChitownKnight]

I think Cody finishes the story and he takes the Rock on at EC. Making Cody a star will make more money long term than one match

[Mozenrath]

I could see Roman vs Rock at EC, with Rock getting screwed in some fashion. Cody vs Roman at 'Mania, with Rock preventing Solo and Heyman interference to allow Cody to win to get Rock on the show in some fashion.

[Jindrak Mark]

In order of how likely I find them:

a) Roman v Rock at EC then Roman v Cody at Mania

b) Roman v Rock main events one night of Mania and Roman v Cody main events the other

c) Roman v Cody at Mania with some kind of Rock involvement then Rock/Roman have an angle to set up their match for next year and will be non-title like the first Rock/Cena

d) Roman v Cody at Mania and the Rock tease doesn't lead to anything

e) Roman v Rock at Mania and Cody isn't in the main event picture at all

[Renslayer]

Cody. I think about how he laughed off the rock but was dead ass serious last time he saw Cody. They both have unfinished business

This, i think he'll be the ref/Tyson role at Mania 14

I can see them wanting to have their cake and eat it with a triple threat. That also hides Rock being out of ring shape.

I dont know that I think they will....but I can see them doing it.

[Fade]

It should be Jinder but it’ll be Cody

F*** The Rock, there is only one thing we can trust with that job.

Alternatively, they hold off on a Jimmy vs. Jey singles match and instead do Rock/Jey vs. Solo/Jimmy. Would honestly be cool for Jey to be side by side with the Rock.

Still going with Cody against Roman at Mania 40.

[Hypnosis]

Cody, if the Rock/Roman match happens at Elimination Chamber in Australia.

[clc]

I'd prefer the Rock

(Then Priest cashes in on The Rock to immediately take the belt off him)




I just don't really care about Cody vs Roman 2.

[Clash, Never a Meter Maid]

I wouldn’t mind a triple threat, but I want to see how any Rock/Cody matches would set that up. Rock doing just one match for this run instead of the three he did in 2013 make him a huge underdog to actually win the title anyway considering ring conditioning and his schedule outside of WWE, so him getting a straight uncomplicated beeline to Roman is highly unlikely.

[yokohamacpfc]

Is there anything to be said for Orton winning at the Rumble and Cody finishing the story against his mentor while the cousins fight for the Tribal Chief title?

[clc]

Getting Rock a straight line to Roman is easy. He's a big enough star to just slot in the main event so he does not need to win any qualifying match.

Rumble Winner picks Seth.
Elimination Chamber match either: does not happen (only women get one), is for a different title, or Aldis makes Roman defend the title in the Chamber.

I understand the logic, but it still stinks. Wrestlemania 20 should have been Benoit vs. Triple H. Wrestlemania 30 should have been Bryan vs. Orton. Wrestlemania 35 should have been Lynch vs. Rousey. Wrestlemania 40 should be Rhodes vs. Reigns.

This shit should be so simple, and yet...

[Legion]

The other bonus of a triple threat is Cody could pin Rock, so Roman even has a built in 'you didn't beat me' story for any future re-match or even quickly at Wrestlemania Backlash in France...

[Push R Truth]

Why ya'll talking about jobbers like Cody and Rock? R Truth is gonna crush Roman at Mania

I think Mania 30 was the right call doing the triple threat, Orton vs Bryan had already been done to death at that point. This year should be a one on one with Roman and Cody for sure, especially with a historic reign. Mania 20 they missed the boat with HBK vs The Rock
