It’s pretty evident after last night’s Raw that they’re going to pivot and have the Triple Threat now. If they had locked in Roman vs Rock, then last night they’d have fixed the World Title Match and put it all to bed as soon as they can. The fact Drew verbally leant on him needing to finish his story, and the movement was acknowledged by commentary more or less solidifies it.
In a way, I’m actually kind of gutted that we’re never going to get a Roman Reigns vs The Rock feud, something we’ve wanted for years, and one of the last genuine dream matches. Purely, quite simply, because of this monumental booking f*ck up.
People wanted Cody to finish his story, sure, but the reason this whole movement has blown up, and we now have this Daniel Bryan situation repeating itself, is quite literally because they went and had Cody win the Rumble only to have him step aside. It’s the booking that’s caused it, not the fact that he’s necessarily the megastar everyone is clamouring for. But, they’ll no doubt work this into story now, and make out this was all part of a plan to create another Daniel Bryan situation. What’s even worse, is Rock is going to end up being more of a heel in this than Roman himself.
If they’d just simply had Rock enter the Rumble at 30 and won it, sure people would be disappointed it wasn’t Cody, but at least it would’ve been accepted for what it was and we’d just go that route. It’s having Cody win it, and then bump him for the Rock thinking they can just have him replace Punk which has ruined everything. Baffling, considering how many possibilities and options they had at their disposal. They just needed to lock in Rock vs Roman prior to the Rumble, but they failed.
They could’ve had Orton take out Cody early on in the Rumble to set up a Grudge Match for Wrestlemania, Rock enter as a surprise later on and win it to set up Rock vs Roman, and had Punk pencilled in to face Seth, of which once he got injured just reverted to a Triple Threat with Drew and Sami Zayn. Nobody would’ve bat an eye, Roman would still be Champion, and Cody would still be pencilled in to finish his story down the line.
