Holy Hell!
I didn't think they'd actually pull the trigger!

We got a new WWE Champion! Drew McIntyre!

I thought there was a chance. Sadly I forgot it was in Europe, and accidentally got spoiled :-/

Definitely the right call. I don't think there was anything interesting to do with Cody as champion going into mania. Seems like the plan is Cody vs Roman, and I think that's a great match to put on the card, but I think a lot of fans would have turned on it as a main event. Cody has had a great run, but needs to retreat from the main title scene for a little bit. He should be at the point now where Angle, Shawn Michaels, and HHH were towards the end of their careers where they didn't need the title for their programs to mean something. 

Drew as champion makes the Oil Rumble a lot more interesting. With a face and heel as the reigning champions, it opens things up a bit. Honestly don't know who will win. Feel like Sami Zayn is most likely given the circumstances but Bron Breaker or Fatu are also possible.
