Might have to go to YouTube for this one, but fairly good for a scripted promo (had to be scripted, that was too intricately plotted out).

My wild shot prediction, Cody Rhodes wins, but doesn't get to pick his opponent. CM Punk gets the belt from Rollins soon after the Rumble, and when Cody has his chance to pick, he goes for Punk. There's about a 2.5% chance of that occurring :D

If these two meet at Wrestlemania, a triple threat with Roman Reigns is probably more likely. The pieces are already easily there for that to unfold. Someone else will take the belt off of Rollins. A Wrestlemania match I always thought was underrated was the Triple Thread IC/EU title match at 2000 between Jericho, Angle, and Chris "Bin-oyte" (Jericho was calling him that at the time). The Triple threat between HHH, Michaels, and Benoit was also a great one (separating my pre-2007 feelings from my post).

Haven't seen the promo, but I don't like the idea of Punk vs Rhodes at Wrestlemania. I still feel like anything besides Reigns vs Rhodes is a little bit of blueballing the audience. And, I think there are plenty of good matches that you can do for Rollins' title but I don't think there's a lot of great matches for Reigns. It's either Reigns vs Rhodes or Reigns vs Rock, and I'm hopeful it's not the latter. 

If they're going to do a triple threat, I think they should do Rock/Rhodes/Reigns. That gets you the star power on the card, without missing the boat for Rhodes. And then you can pivot to a Rock/Reigns one on one match if the Rock is willing to do more than one.
