>>13256408The rock is the perfect “villian” to come in at the moment. Everyone knows he has a big ego and is now a big timer at TKO. So naturally he comes in, doesn’t EVER mention the belt whatsoever even though Roman and Cody won’t shut up about it and now Cody is more over than ever. And they did it for free.
This is how you tell a story in the post-kayfabe internet era and how you REALLY sell the hero’s journey before he finally takes on the big final boss.
They wouldn't put him on the game and have Cody do the entire press tour alone as well as use the phrase "finish the story" internally at WWE if they were going to bury him.
Now we get to see Sami, Jey, and the rest convince Cody to take on Roman while Drew takes on Seth (which will be dimes)
