>>15124459It's very simple and revolves around a detail that only Mark Henry has shared with the world.
Roman has leukemia again.
The WWE couldn't rely on him carrying two matches, two nights in a row without a tag partner so he can't take a break.
The Rock was brought in on the board anyway, but making him part of the programme was all Rock's idea.
The motive was completely self-serving and when it became clear that the Rock was gonna make himself the main event with his cousin, everyone intervened and reminded Rocky Maivia of his job: to assist, not to replace.
This egotrip of the Rock didn't only almost destroy the build-up to WM40, it buried Roman, it buried Cody, and it buried the title and company.
Of course there's no telling if Rocketty would've inserted himself if Roman's leukemia didn't make a comeback, but the fact that he did, and rewrote the plot for himself to make it all about him, that's self-evident.
So yeah Rocketty came up with everything.
Except the parts that Vince booked 2 years ahead of time, as he usually did. The bit where Cody goes over and beats Roman for the title.
Same Vince who didn't want the Rock back.
