Pivot. I just don't see Dwyane having the time to plan all this out.
Or the knowledge since he's been out of the WWE loop for years now. No why he is this booking genius!

If it was a work the whole time, then the WWE had to put faith in the fans overwhelmingly rejecting The Rock, something they haven't done in more than 20 years.

Hell, they didn't have enough faith in the fans overwhelmingly rejecting John Cena to turn him heel, despite half the fans having rejected him for almost a decade.

It was absolutely a pivot. That entire segment on SD makes ZERO sense if this was the plan all along.
Also the fact that it seems like they just want to ignore said segment now is even more evidence imo,

In order for it to be the plan, they would have to turn Cody in a complete idiot who just hands over his title shot to one of the biggest stars in the world, and count on that star being booed.

WrestleMania is the one thing they'll protect. Rampant, rampant sexual abuse, guys dying in the ring, before the show, after the show, fans don't like a match in July, all these things are mere distractions.
They will not let the crowd turn on WrestleMania, it's the only reason Bryan got his win and it's the only reason Cody will win this year, if it were the lead to SummerSlam, they'd plow ahead.
They will not let a Brock/Goldberg situation happen at Mania ever again moving forward, especially now with social media being what it is and literally billions of dollars at play.

Pivot. I think the original plan was Cody vs Roman, but at some point it went to Rock vs Roman, and then back to Cody vs. Roman. I don't think the Rock was coming at it with bad intent. He is just full of himself like most Hollywood bigwigs. I think he truly thought he could help Wrestlemania and the WWE, particularly after Punk's injury. He never would have thought the fans could turn on him like this.

They pivoted so hard that Ross from FRIENDS would have been so proud of their form.
