>>12948807Punk already has a feud going on with Seth it wouldn't be a reach to just have him challenge Seth in the lead up. Cody is completely out of the title picture and so needs the Rumble to make a claim.
Who else would challenge Roman at Mania apart from Cody? 3 are already getting fed to Roman at the Rumble, the Rock is at the Elimination Chamber, Gunther maybe?
