Per Fightful:
>The Rock’s slightly bizarre rant on social media is setting up a match between him and Seth Rollins for night one of Mania. But there’s more to it than that; it’s setting him up as THE face of WWE.
>Cody vs Roman is ALSO happening on night one, and Cody will indeed win the title (at least as of this moment). But night two of Mania is going to be headlined by Rock vs Cody and Rock is winning the title. Simple as that. Endeavor views it as a win-win since you get that happy ending on night one and then big business moves set up from night two.
>Rock is a massive draw, even now, and he wasn’t lying when he said the Netflix deal was heavily dependent on him. In fact, that’s why he’s winning the title; Netflix wants it.
>Cody was informed of this on Wednesday night and we’re told he was “justifiably frustrated”, but then said he understood and was happy to have the belt for one night at least.
