Think they have to do Sami and Roman at Mania. Have the Usos be conflicted (maybe they reluctantly beat him down in the run up) and then eventually they turn on Roman to help Sami win (maybe Roman does something that leads to them losing the titles)
All I know is, Sami teaming with Owens to face the Usos would be such a letdown in comparison.

Regardless of how it ends, this has been one of the best storylines in any wrestling company... really ever IMO.

kind of totally on board for Roman vs. Sami at Mania now I agree with what Clash said during it and I’ve thought it for a while, the end-game’s gotta be Sami and KO Vs The Usos but man..I would not hate that pivot. I really wouldn’t. I wouldn’t hate it, but I would feel bad for Cody in that instance. Because he’d be like “well, shit. Again?” What’s the follow up for that, Codylander chasing World Champion Sami “for my father or else”?

all the love for Cody and he should win the belt sooner than later but the time is now for sami
I don’t want to see Sami turn against any of the bloodline members except Roman, there’s no reason for them to turn against him either. The call is have them help him win the big one along with KO and sometime before that, they lose their titles with Sami not involved

I’m fine with either Zayn or Rhodes winning the world title, but I lean more towards Rhodes because I like the idea of there being two massive triumphs on the card (Rhodes world title/Zayn and Owens tag titles) as opposed to just one (Zayn world title) that leaves Rhodes, Owens and the tag titles out in the cold somewhat.
Like, who else should beat The Usos at this point? There’s no real ready-made challengers in the division, and I don’t want it to be McIntyre/Sheamus because I want Sheamus to finally get his IC title win on this show.

Roman/Cody and Usos/Sami/KO gives you two massive matches. And a massive match the month before too with Roman/Sami in Montreal. Roman/Sami gives you one massive match because you take Sami out and the tag title is just a random midcard thing, compared to Usos v KO/Sami which with the build would be the biggest tag title match in years, maybe in company history, and is conceivably big enough it could main event night 1 of Wrestlemania. I won’t be angry if they do Roman/Sami at Mania but it’s not my main hope right now.

I'm of two minds in that I think Roman / Sami makes for the vastly more interesting match but after all of this build Cody's going to look awful if he doesn't win the Rumble. As for the tag titles, I really just want them off the Usos and don't care who does it so whether or not they're in a big match at Mania doesn't matter to me.
That said I'm kind of more and more thinking that it's going to be some kind of draw between Seth and Cody.

I feel like if Sami enters the Rumble , Cody will get booed when he wins.Dude is way too loved right now.
They 100 should pivot to Sami vs Roman at WM. But I doubt it will happen

Rumble winner Cody gets his choice of title shot: Universal Title or WWE Title. Sami goes into the EC with KO, Jimmy, Jey, Solo, and Braun(?) Sami wins. Cody goes for the WWE Titles (and someone that wins a tourney to be in the other spot) and tells Sami to end the Bloodline. N1 is Cody's night. N2 is the destruction of the Bloodline. Street Profits take the Raw Tag Titles and Sheamus and Drew the Smackdown Tag Titles. Owens and Solo have a crazy ass street fight. Sami wins the Universal Title. Or KO and Solo are in the MITB with KO taking out Solo to win. Then at the end KO could run in and they tease the cash in but instead they celebrate together.

These are the sort of circumstances a two night WrestleMania is made for, to be honest. my only beef with this is: whoever wins on night one, I feel, takes away from whoever wins on night two if Cody beats Roman in a big epic match or Sami beats Roman in a wild schmozz with KO, Uso and Solo interference, then on night two, whoever goes second, their win won't feel as big because they'll be facing an already weakened Roman.

I do love how many ways this could end at Mania though
You could get Roman vs. Cody
You could get Roman vs. Sami
You could get both Roman vs. Cody and Roman vs Sami
Maybe a triple threat
You could even get Roman vs. Brock
The possibilities are endless

They should just split the titles without Roman losing a title. Say that Raw needs a world champ too (a la Triple H in 2002 when Brock was undisputed champ) and have an Elimination Chamber match to crown the world champ.

I think it's how you tell the story, though. You have a weakened Roman but you also have a more desperate Roman, seeing his influence fading and down, he goes to different lengths to retain his last singular belt and you build the match around that. Even having segments where he snaps at the Bloodline for not helping him enough night one so they're reluctant night two, stuff like that.
