The Rock’s return and the road to WrestleMania 40 has been fantastic, but it wasn’t the way it was originally planned.
Now that WWE and Rock’s mouthpiece admit they made a pivot, wonder what everybody who swore it wasn’t a pivot think…
If they could read this they’d be pretty upset right now lol.
But for real I got no clue how anyone thought it wasn’t a pivot.
I had been going back and forth on whether the whole thing was the story that was planned out from the start or not. Both make sense, and even with how they have gone now it easily lends itself to The Rock v Roman in the near future as if it was the plan.
Night 1, Rock pins Cody in the tag match setting up the Bloodline Rules match. (I don’t see Seth being involved in the fall and Cody pinning Roman then wouldn’t seem right. He could pin Rock but then Rock is the Final Boss, not the one up under him. Anyway, Bloodline Rules match just puts that bit more uncertainty that with all the Bloodline involved Cody won’t win. However, he has to, to finish the story, so with some help (possibly Cody and Jey) he wins the title on Night 2. Now the easy set up for Rock V Roman. Rock comes out, demands the Bloodline come to the ring and then asks Roman how he managed to lose when he (The Rock) had set it all up perfectly for him to retain. Cue a brawl, Rock is face again and they can have a Match either at SummerSlam or the next big event.
Has there been any credible report that details WHY they had Cody win the Rumble if they knew they wanted Rock/Reigns ? Unless someone tells me that Rock decided to take the match DURING the men’s Rumble, the events as they unfolded just don’t make sense to me.
