We also gotta remember, they did Roman vs Cena on an actual B PPV. Elimination Chamber is atleast a stadium show A stadium show in record capacity venue in an international market actively courting The Rock to show up. |

Maybe if they want Rock-Roman at Mania they’ll do Rock losing to Roman on Night 1 and Cody beating Roman on Night 2. Having the heel wrestle both nights wouldn't work, and it cheapens Cody's title win because then the entire story of the match is Roman being tired from the night before. |

If Rock vs Roman is the main event of mania, there’s a non zero chance it could end up like Shane Vs Miz last year Good time to remind everyone that at the very beginning Rock vs Cena II, Rock got like both a torn pec and a concussion so... |

I like the Rock/Reigns Night 1 and Reigns/Cody Night 2 scenario, if only because it means Punk couldn’t even main event a buy one get one free extravaganza.

The money would be in Cody vs Punk, if they blow the Seth feud off quick or they extend it past Mania. Roman vs Rock and night one has only one result. Punk and Cody could go either way |

In theory, you can do like how wcw did when goldberg won the world title. Have him go through a heavy 1st before getting to the final boss in the end. Not an apples to apples comp of course, but if cody did do double duty, do it on two nights instead of one |

Just do Rock vs Roman at Elimination Chamber, have Brock cost Rock the match and then roll into Wrestlemania with Cody vs Roman to finish the story and Brock vs Rock in a huge attraction match. Brock/Rock can be short without making the main event feel like a ripoff.

Love him or loathe him, dude still moves the needle as proven by the jump in viewers during the Mahal/Rock segment, which dropped off immediately the segment after.
Jinder is main event status.

Brock/Rock can be short without making the main event feel like a ripoff. …you want to put Brock Lesnar with a man who tore his quad several minutes into his last major match? Having Rock against an actual Grizzly Bear at WrestleMania would honestly be less painless. |

Having Rock against an actual Grizzly Bear at WrestleMania would honestly be less painless. I'm sure Brock would take care of Rock more than others, but it'd be painful. I think if they do Rock/Roman at Chamber, they should just do Rock/Jey vs. Jimmy/Solo and save the first time Jey/Jimmy match for later in the year. They could probably pull it off. I'm still not sold Rock will be on Mania, though. |

I like the Rock/Reigns Night 1 and Reigns/Cody Night 2 scenario, if only because it means Punk couldn’t even main event a buy one get one free extravaganza. I've seen various post like this and I get the f*** Punk thing,but what did Rollins do not to main event? It's his goal too. So that could be 3 possible Rock blocks @mania. Punk @29 for sure, possibly Cody @40 and Seth @40. |

I feel pretty confident that barring injury, Punk/Rollins, title or not, is the main event of night one. |
