So, why did Cody win the Rumble and make it seem like he was coming after Roman? Something isn’t adding up here. Perhaps that’s just wishful thinking on my part that this is some sort of bizarre angle, but I’d also like to add that Dave’s information here is not exactly something I’d take without several grains of salt.

Also, they’ve already made merch and signed sponsorships but they couldn’t cobble together a match graphic like they did for Bayley/Io? I just don’t get any of this.

Damn, meet new management same as the old management, cutting the legs out from under the workers... Then, Now, Forever. If I'm Paul Levesque I might as well start packing up my office, they just blew up two years of storylines, knew they were going to do it, and didn't even have the courtesy to tell him, at least based on the reports that everybody but him appears to have known.

I wanted to keep a semi-open mind about this, but... I don't know, I think if you had told me three days ago I'd dislike The Rock almost as much as Vince Russo I'd have laughed at you.

Damn, and I thought I hated this story before, when I thought it was just a hamfisted attempt to distract from Vince's scandal. Knowing that this was planned, and what's more, that it was a condition of Dwayne Johnson's contract, makes it so much worse.

Of course, there are some further questions that it raises. Remember those stories about Cody's uncertain contract status? Was that related to this in some way? Did Cody get wind that this was coming and thus refuse to re-up? Or was that an attempt to make this more palatable, by planting the story that Cody might not be sticking around?
