I personally don’t know why they don’t let Orton win the title by not pinning Roman at the Rumble. They could easily do that, have Roman go crazy and start destroying the place. Have Orton/Rhodes at WM, and then have Rock vs Roman, that way Rhodes finishes his story and then we get Rock/Roman?

Can't believe it's happening at Elimination Chamber. Rock Vs Roman is WM quality. I think WM is more likely now

Just slightly against transitional champions, but if it helps “finish the story” while still creating a compelling story of teacher vs. student, sounds good to me.

On paper this makes sense, but I just don't think they waste the rub of having the one to finally end Roman Reigns near 4 year reign purely on a hot potato to set a different match up. I understand finishing the story isn't directly associated with Reigns and is purely about Cody winning the WWE Championship, but he's the one that's been primed to beat Roman. The rub now is borderline up there with the one that would finally slay Lesnar clean, or something like the modern day Streak.

The Story didn't have to involve Roman but they've already had a match. Cody had him beat. The camera shot of a defeated Cody with Roman holding the titles in the background. The stare down on Smackdown a few months ago. It's literally all right there. Plain as day and very simple to understand.
Top babyface conquers top heel. Wrestling 101.
Cody haters and Samoan simps can be as loud as they wanna be. This is the story.

I’m just appreciative that we’re finally getting Roman vs The Rock. People have been asking for it for years. I can’t think of anything else within the current WWE product that interests me besides Punk and Rollies.

I'm excited. Yeah, just like it seemed to be the plan for Rock vs. Reigns in Hollywood. I don't trust a damn thing he says. He doesn't care one bit about wrestling and is just a puppet for whoever shoves the most money down his throat after the last person is wiping themselves and finished with it.

BØRNS I understand your perspective, but at the end of the day it's all about the money. I'd do the same if I were in The Rock's position, go wherever the money is. WWE is a business and wouldn't think twice about releasing their superstars, so it's good when someone has leverage. Brock did the same, Cena is in Hollywood and soon our Tribal Chief will more than likely do the same. I think about that when it comes to myself. Screw working hard, work smart.

I do think this is an example of us being in this wrestling bubble, but the rock being willing to come back and wrestle a match and be on your tv show, ultimately trumps anything else you have planned. He is one of the biggest celebrities on the planet who also happen to come from your company. I still think it’s at chamber until noted, but if it is mania, well those are the breaks. Rock has only gotten bigger since 2013. And the eyes on the product for that match would be huge. That's what it's all about... Rock = money

Is it going to be at Mania or Chamber? Can’t really pick or choose ? Unless they do it at Summerslam?

Set aside your current guys in favor of the Rock? What is this, 2013?

Not if they have the opportunity to run Rock/Roman and it doesn’t happen at Elimination Chamber. Set aside your current guys in favor of the Rock? What is this, 2013? Depends on the situation/plans. Are the plans for Roman to break Hogan’s record? Then you don’t want him beating Cody at WrestleMania again. Insert The Rock and have Roman retain (ugh) against him. Is the plan for Cody to finish his story at WrestleMania? Use Orton as the fill in for Roman to drop the title to Cody. You have over a month to set up a compelling feud between the two. Then you have Rock/Roman without sabotaging the WWE title. Again, it all depends on what the long-term plans are for Roman and what the WrestleMania plans are for Cody. Time will tell, but there’s certainly a few options.

Ive been trying to think of every scenario adding the Rock where one would make sense. Would you dare have Cody take the title off Roman at Chamber after this long? This way you can still do Rock/Roman (wouldnt need the title) as a Mania dream match and do something like Cody vs. a heel turn Orton for the title? But Roman losing doesnt seem like it'd mean as much being off Mania and Cody "finishes the story" on some other stage. Would be an incredible shock though to see Roman lose anywhere but Mania at this point. Do you make the main event at Mania a triple threat? With all due respect to Cody he kinda would seem like the odd man out. You could have Cody pin Rock but doesnt do much for Cody not beating Roman clean. Feels like unfinished business. Do you do Roman/Rock on Night 1 and Roman/Cody on Night 2? Pretty much defeats Rock/Roman before it starts as you would know Roman is going to go over Rock to get to Night 2/Cody. Do you have Cody take MITB off Priest? This way Rock/Roman "main events" but then you get a Cody cash in and a second full length match after where Cody finally wins. "IF" (big if) Rock somehow ends up on the Mania card it certainly throws a monkey wrench into a lot of plans. Sorry, but these Cody Rhodes "finishing the story"/winning the title plans, need to be put on the back-burner for a while... 'cos there are more important stories - and people to worry about now. Rock vs Reigns is the most money making story tbh

I hope to God it's his last match. Rock coming back and wrestling does nothing for me. Just get the match over with, cause I guess I'm in the minority, Rock/Roman has never, and will never be a dream match for me. I have no interest in seeing it, I just want it to be done and over with. The hype will be crazy
