only other person outside of cody to have a shot is sami (roman's secret plan he has for sami tomorrow- so sami can 'lie down at mania to prove his loyalty once and for all'?)
rollins or mcintyre have a shot of making the final 4 but i don;t think both will because they like to do the 2 heels vs 1 face for the final three and seth,drew and cody are all faces

The Cody merch at the WWE shop in San Antonio has completely sold out and new stock is having to be brought in to fulfill demand.
It’s Cody.

I think it will be Cody so to answer the question, no I don’t see anyone outside of Cody. Yes, the Sami Zayn stuff is great and all but there is an Amazing story that can be told with Cody and Reigns with the Rhodes and Anoai families. And I think if they do go this route as I think they will, then heyman will be able to tell the story beautifully, as he’s known both family’s for decades.

I reckon Cody and Sami might be the final 2,and Sami gets kicked out of the bloodline for "failing"

As much of an obvious winner Cody would be, the story they're telling with him doesn't need WrestleMania or Roman Reigns. The story is that he wants to win the title that eluded his father. To do that, he needs to beat whoever it is holding that title.
Now could they come up with something great to build him and Roman at WM using their respective histories as legacy wrestlers? Absolutely. I think they can make this a hot program that people will be invested in. But this isn't a logical progression from the story the WWE is telling with Roman right now.
The logical opponent for Roman at WM is Sami Zayn.
Cody and Roman will work, but the best possible storytelling is Roman vs. Sami. I think HHH knows this, too.

Just me enjoying the fact there’s two likely Rumble winners we’d all be okay with. It’s difficult enough to get one.

If I were a wrestler, I'd 100% go down with an injury sometime around May, so I could return at the Rumble and automatically win.
It's such a tired trope at this point.

Right now I'm feeling like 60% Cody, 20% Sami, 15% Rock/Austin if they appear and 5% someone else like a Rollins or Drew. I reckon Cody and Sami might be the final 2,and Sami gets kicked out of the bloodline for "failing" If Sami's even in the Rumble (seriously, neither Sami/Usos/Solo have been announced and it's likely their only involvement on the PPV is during the Roman/KO match) and he's not winning it then he shouldn't be making it to the final 4. Do whatever angle with him in the early/middle part of the match. You don't want a popular babyface having to eliminate another popular babyface when you can easily use a heel to get good heat for it. That was one of the many problems with last years match. It was in St. Louis so Randy Orton was the big hometown hero, he comes out at 29 to a huge reaction then Brock comes out 2 minutes later and throws him out like nothing. The crowd who had been cheering Brock were like huh and got deflated. You could easily have had a heel eliminate Orton to get the boos then Brock eliminates that heel to pop the crowd.

It should probably be Sami anyway.
And I say this as someone who loves Cody and is excited he's coming back.

Just me enjoying the fact there’s two likely Rumble winners we’d all be okay with. It’s difficult enough to get one. Agreed. But for me personally, because of the stuff about Cody’s merch flying off the shelves, my personal perspective of Cody winning went from “It makes sense” to “They need to f***ing do it, Holy Shit”.

I really hope if they do Cody / Roman they bring up that Roman's first title loss was from Cody pinning him.

I don't mean to put this evil on you, Ricky Bobby, but I think there's a non-zero perfect chance of it being Austin Theory.

There are only three that make realistic sense, and only three others I could even conceive of as a swerve.
Realistic: Cody, Sami, Seth
Swerves, Sheamus, Miz, Jey
Sheamus and Miz would both have legit reasons to choose Gunther and the IC title, and Jey could end up giving the shot to Sami.
