That doesn't make sense IF they are moving on to Rock v Roman at SS. You'd have a face attack a heel who then turns face himself the next night?

Here's something that could be interesting. What if they beat the shite out of them again Saturday night and sMITB cashes in on Seth? Do they turn the match with Drew into a triple threat or does Drew face Priest and Seth turn on Cody before Cena's music and the glass hit? That's the beauty in how this has played out. We won't know all the plausible directions for Sunday night until after Saturdays ME.

I thought for sure we're going to hear the glass shatter at WrestleMania this weekend. The moment would be epic, but Pat let something slip, he said the name "Cena" tonight. Solo took out Cena, that might work.

Cena's going to be there

I sort of expect both but could be wrong

They don't have to do anything with that for a while

I’m almost expecting this to evolve into a Cody vs Rock angle at summerslam. They’ve struck gold with this Cody/Rock thing and it would be a shame not to get more heel Rock imo.

Cody wins night 2 despite all the obstacles, Rock turns on Roman for embarrassing the family and takes the head of the table title. Bloodline beats up Roman so he can disappear for a little while then come back as babyface setting up Rock vs Roman at WM41 much much better than it would’ve originally been at WM40 imo

This is exactly what I think will be at summerslam

Then Roman vs rock at mania next year though I'm not sure who the face and heel will be. Everyone thinks Rock will stay heel but he's just so damn good at it I'm not sure the crowd will let him honestly against a face any less over than Cody

Cody's staying power as a white meat baby face has been remarkable. Idk the last true white meat baby face WWE had that was this over for this long. Cena was well past getting boos at this point. Austin and Rock weren't white meat baby faces in fact they were arguably heels that the crowd cheered. The answer may honestly be HBK or Bret or even dare I say Hogan

He held the belt for a lot of that. Cody has stayed over because he's still in the chase. I'll say, they've booked him better than I expected since last 'Mania (he should have gone over to begin with).

I honestly hope they don't overbook this match. If they're going to, I hope they keep outside interference outside. Let the Bloodline try to get in and get run off (would be great to see Dustin, even if it's impossible), but Cody needs to go over clean.

God I can't wait for the internet melt when Priest cashes in on him ten seconds after he wins.

Watching this back.

Rock is the best wrestler of all time.

His ability to get a crowd who loves him to death to fricking chant "Rocky Sucks" every single week is a thing of art. Idk if anyone has ever been able to turn the tables as much as him. It really is true art.

There is a rumor that an AEW wrestler is taking part in Wrestlemania. Don't know if it's true, don't know if it's Dustin or someone else, but could you imagine how geeked out people would be? Would be Punk's return squared.

I haven't watched wrestling consistently in 20+ years, but I've enjoyed the reemergence of "Die Rocky Die" signs.

Bray Wyatt documentary on Peacock….if you haven’t watched it you should! What a rollercoaster of emotions. Bray was one of the GOATs of any era when it comes to storytelling.

Also, Taylor Rotunda (aka Bo Dallas and Uncle Howdy) seems to be in store for a career resurgence if WWE and he can do it right.

Interesting turn….. priest tries to cash in but Cody pins him. He wastes his chance. I believe they have other plans for priest.
