How Would You Book Up to Cody/Zayn Happening at Mania?

[KAMALARAMBO: BOOMSHAKALAKA!!!]

I’m pretty positive Roman/Cody is what is going down, but with how over Zayn has gotten pulling the trigger doesn’t seem crazy at all.

With Elimination Chamber happening in Montreal I couldn’t help be reminded of the catastrophe at Clash at the Castle. I’d hate to end Roman’s reign there but it just seemed to be the perfect crowd to do it in front of.

Plus, I keep hearing Vince wants to bring in more stars to hype up the company before he sells it.

Okay, so with those two things in mind one scenario I came up with is this. Sami beats Roman clean in Montreal. Since the Usos are barred from Canada maybe you could just add in the little twist that Solo tries to interfere only to be stopped by Kevin Owens. Zayn pulling off that upset and reuniting with Owens in MONTREAL would make highlight packages for years to come.

The next night on Raw, Roman comes out. He starts dressing down The Bloodline. However before Roman can even turn his attention to Sami Zayn he gets cut off mid sentence…”Do You Smell What the Rock is Cooking?”

I know a Rock return has garnered a ton of hate on this board, but those could easily be main event night 1 and main event night 2.

I don't really see a way you could actually make Sami / Cody work. If you wanted to get Sami in the main event I think it'd either need to be a triple threat or Sami / Roman night one then Cody / Roman night two.

I don’t see how Sami/Cody couldn’t work. Face/heel is much easier to book, but Sami has so much momentum now. Of course going forward with Mania I’d still book Sami to win and turn Cody heel, which I don’t see Cody going for. I could see the smarky WM crowd going for it though.

I love Cody and was rooting for him when he was being buried as Stardust. Like most wrestlers he’s just a much better heel. As it is I’m fairly certain he’ll have his coronation over Roman at WM. For how telegraphed it is, it should still be a lot of fun. Sometimes the best booking is the most obvious.

Cody goes, "My whole gimmick is my dad and brother are more famous and over than me and I needed a whole other company to get myself over, but Sami, you got yourself over for the past year while I was recovering from injury and put in all the work and now I'm just gonna take your spot, 'cos that's how it's booked, f*** you". It's a little wordy, for a like a shirt, but the Truth in Advertizing people are all over it.

They've already called an audible knowing the fans want Sami before they want Cody.

Go back a solid year, I called Cody the Jeff Jarrett. The fans want Sami. I want Sami. Because nothing else makes sense.

The obvious WrestleMania main event booking should be a lot of fun and I expect it to be well received. With how over Sami Zayn is long term they’ve got more of a problem.

Zayn, Cody, and Roman are all guys that should be winning main events for years to come. I see WWE easily falling into the same mistake they did with Daniel Bryan and CM Punk. Failing to capitalize when Sami is easily the hottest. Bryan and Punk both easily could’ve been longterm faces of the company. Instead Bryan is making money for the competition and Punk is a pariah.

If Cody/Zayn happened at Mania I’d make Zayn the top guy for the next 3-5 years. Cody would grow resentful and turn heel to continue the program. From there I’d move Roman more fully into that part-timer role which he already seems to want and have him do some WWE movies and stuff. After the Cody/Zayn feud ends I’d bring Roman back to lose to Zayn and further cement it wasn’t a fluke then build up to Owens turning on Zayn to main event the following Mania.

As it is though we’ll probably get Cody/Roman for months with Zayn getting pushed down the card. When Cody is done with Roman he’ll probably just move onto part-timer Brock.
