Also, I do believe that this was the original plan. I donât believe for one second they blew up their WrestleMania main events and re-booked them between 9pm Friday and 5pm Sunday. I mean this in the nicest way possible, but no freaking way. Last Friday night, Cody Rhodes flat out said he wasnât coming for Roman Reigns at WrestleMania. If the fans acquiesced to what was seen last Friday night, we wouldâve had The Rock getting one half of the arena tonight chanting âTRIBALâ and the other half chanting âCHEESE PUFFâ or whatever. The only reason they pivoted is because the fans overwhelmingly rejected it both online and in person.

You think they changed the WrestleMania main event plans based on the reaction of a house show audience to a recap video? Because at NXT Vengeance Day they were handing out pro Cody signs, they were pushing it on Raw, I donât believe this was a pivot because I donât believe they wouldâve pivoted that quickly. They wouldâve announced Rocky vs Roman at their big Super Bowl week event, got their sportscentre moment and they wouldâve tested the waters and seen if the negative reaction kept going over the next couple weeks and then found a storyline reason to pivot like they did with Danielson. Was this the original plan when Rock signed with TKO 6 weeks ago? That I honestly donât know but this plan did not come together over the weekend

That I honestly donât know but this plan did not come together over the weekend Just for clarification, I think it was eventually confirmed that WWE wasn't actually handing out any WeWantCody signs or anything like that. During normal circumstances I would agree with you that it couldn't come together this quick but the reach, volume and intensity of how badly this was reacted to when WWE is already going through the IRL flames of absolute hell makes things like this come together quick. WWE can always put together stuff on the fly that would work well but they're never pushed into a situation where they basically have to, which they did here.

Nah, WWE pivoted last minute. Anyone thinking WWE somehow planned this all out, including the negative reaction to Rock taking the main event spot is giving WWE far too much credit. Did it work out? I dunno, maybe, but it sure did convolute everything to get there.

Iâm intrigued by best buddies Roman & Rock. Hope Heyman doesnât get jealous lol I heard him saying "I don't represent HIM!" as HHH, Pearce et al. came out to calm everything down, so doesn't sound like it's going to be completely smooth sailing. lol I missed that part

WWE did one right thing....but I aint about to fall into this damn trap again not untill the result is what the result should have been last year and that is Cody has beaten Roman Reigns 1 on 1 for the title.
WWE can still massively f*** this all up despite the pivot tonight.

A sneaky great part from tonight was after The Rock slapped Cody Rhodes, and the stage was cleared, he went to his forearm for his regular âgoosebumpsâ motion, but didnât feel any, so he slapped his forearm and got even more pissed off.

Also just wanna say Roman standing there and being like hmmm... I choose....... THE ROCK! like he gets to choose his opponent or any of that shit while you can hear Seth be like "what are you doing you don't get to choose" and laughing was great. If you're going to be a delusional cocky chickenshit heel who cheats all the time, seeing stuff like that makes it a whole lot more palatable. Just absolutely ridiculous in a good way that I rarely see from Roman.

I think what we saw tonight was great, but I'm feeling...weird overall? Like, yes, Cody/Roman was the outcome I've always wanted, but we also just saw phase two of the Corporate Champion. I think it was just nice to sit back and immerse myself in what was happening. It was a tense moment that didn't need a close-up of anyone's goosebumps, thank you very much. It was fun and I'm very happy to eat crow. {Spoiler} just not crow t. robot, I love them and would NEVER

All this stuff also makes me wonder what a Cena heel turn could have been. Rock instantly felt fresher given the chance to be mean.

Punk wanting everyone to fight is the best thing ever As an aside Punk absolutely rocks as an announcer. Let him commentate at Mania.

When Rock took charge and slapped Cody it immediately looked like Roman was to Rock what Jay was to Roman.

FAN. How do we leverage Totinos into sending us free pizza rolls? You just want one of these to happen, don't you? Eating mircrowave pizza rolls with Larry David would go in my memoir.

The next time Roman and Rock are in the ring together, Roman is going straight to âWho the hell do you think you are doing something like that without asking me first?â

I will be surprised if it doesn't end up with Rock fending off the rest of the bloodline at Mania thus sealing Romans fate as he loses to Cody and being used to set up Roman and Rock for either Summerslam or next years Mania.

Roman already feels second fiddle to Rock especially after tonight.
Hell the backstage bit they had is just Roman trailing behind like he was Jey Uso while Rock is cussin and having at go at HHH.
