Yeah. She's a gorgeous woman who doesn't have any experience, so they taught her a few athletic looking things. But the problem is that she isn't even doing those very well. They were smart to make it a story that she kind of knows she sucks and is working to get better. At first it was working, but I think the fan's patience has worn thin. She's had a few bad botches past few times I saw her.
And of course, no answers tonight. They are going to milk this.
They're promoting a live wrestlemania conference... and making a big deal about the fact that it's live and fans will be in attendance. So you have to assume they're not going to straight up announce Rock vs Reigns there. They figured out tonight that fans will not take kindly to that.
What I think is most likely at this point is that Cody says he can't wait for Mania and he's going to take the title at Elimination chamber. I think that would be the wrong decision. It's basically blowing your load during the foreplay. But, it gives them a good match for that PPV, and fans would get to see Cody finish the story.
This would kind of be the compromise option where everyone kind of gets what they want, but not exactly how they want it. Cody would still finish the story, but he wouldn't get the mania main event, which arguably is bigger than winning the title in general. You'd still get Roman vs the Rock, but after Roman already lost a month and a half earlier, that would feel a bit underwhelming. And I don't see a great option for Cody at Wrestlemania.
I think the best option is Cody vs Reigns at Mania with the Rock as guest referee. At the conference the Rock explains that he knew for Cody to win he would to get rid of the bloodline. And the way to do that was for the Rock to beat Roman and become head of the table. Then, Cody would have a clear shot.
But, as the People's Champion, the Rock has to listen to the people, and he has heard what the people want. And the people want Cody. So, Cody will face Roman Reigns at Wrestlemania. But, the Rock is going to personally make sure that the better man wins, because he's going to be the guest referee.
That seems to be the best of both worlds option. Cody gets to finish the story the right way, they get to use the Rock in all the promotion, they could add intrigue to the storyline (Heyman sewing doubts about the Rock's loyalties), and they can still do the Rock vs Reigns at a later date, which will have extra juice with Roman blaming him for the collapse of the Bloodline. The Rock comes off as a hero just for letting them have the match they should have had all along.
