Not nearly as good as Hogan's turn, but still good.

To really put Cody over now they need to have Cena + Rock just beat the everliving shit out of him at WM, "steal" the title, and the buildup to him winning it back at SummerSlam with a surprise "help" from somebody like Stone Cold, HHH, etc.
Click to expand...

The surprise help will be from Roman if they're doing Roman vs Rock next year, and it'll be from Stone Cold if they're doing Cody vs Rock next year.

Quite frankly I'm not that into this whole thing, after clamoring for it for decades like everybody else. It just feels like The Rock is totally upstaging Cena's big moment and making it all about him. Cena is less Hollywood Hogan and more Rikishi in 2000 working on HHH's behalf.

Things that annoy me:

RAW last night probably had the biggest viewership in years, and...proceeded to not advance the story at all, instead recapping the heel turn about 50 times until it kinda stopped feeling cool. The whole show reminded me of the Dynamite after Brawl Out, where AEW popped huge viewership and fan interest to see how they'd address the very real backstage brawl between CM Punk and Kenny Omega etc, and instead they just mentioned it a few times and then did a normal episode.

Rock goes out after the PPV and does a press scrum patting himself on the back for playing the Final Boss character so well. Never stops annoying the fuck out of me how that keeps happening with wrestlers.

Rock pinned Cody at last year's Wrestlemania to set up their match this year, which isn't happening. So Rock just gets a win over Cody right before his big moment, for...what reason? Now he overshadows Cena's big moment, for... what reason? Guy is worse than Hogan in WCW.

Just seems like everything's all about getting The Rock over for when he runs for president in 2032.

You're not wrong that The Rock fucks up The Road to Wrestlemania more than any other person. But WWE can salvage this with the following:

Cena wins the belt at Mania.
He then goes on a heel title run for the better part of this year.
He beats CM Punk at Backlash.
He beats Drew McIntyre at Money In the Bank.
He beats Orton at Summer Slam.
Then we renew the feud with Cody at Clash in Paris (yes, it's a new PLE, go look). And Cody ends up turning him back to a Face by beating him at Survivor Series and the torch is passed.
