After Friday, I'm less convinced that Rollins turns on Rhodes now and that The Rock is taking down Reigns from within. 

yeah I reckon this too, even with them dragging the storyline back to almost normal and giving us heel sleeveless ugly tithead shirts Rock for a while auld baldy will still want to end a Wrestlemania looking like a great bunch of lads

My money's on Cody winning clean, The Rock coming down to watch the match, Roman moans that he didn't help him, only for Rock to turn face and Rock Bottom him.

I bet you a million pounds that Rock doesn't get the decisive moment end to Mania.

He'll be next to Cody being bezzie mates, but he won't risk properly upstaging him. Rock's a worker, he'll know he has to tread carefully to stop the Cody fans permanently taking against him.

It'll be handshakes and raised arms all around.

"You're the best", "no, you're the best".

After last year betraying the feeling of "It's this guys time" ala Batista, Benoit, Austin et al - I really want Cody to win. But they've created so many variables to make me think they might dangle the carrot, and then replace it with absolute disappointment. Which weirdly has me and most of the people I know, even the most lapsed fan engage and care.

Good point, Didn't think of that, Yeah I can see Rock holding his hand up, and mugging for the camera, subtly making it about him but giving Cody his moment

WM every ten years has someone deserving win the big one, So I would be SHOCKED if Cody doesn't win. Mania 10, 20, 30 and.....??? 

Here's hoping.

Hundred percent, I've said this before, they always do it on the tens... But after their penchant for disappointment for supposed long term pay off as of late, I can't let me my heart be too open again.

Now that you mention it, maybe that was their reason for not having Cody win last year. They saw a milestone year coming up and thought it was a big moment, perhaps.

[Devon Malcolm]

I also think that because there are several question marks this year, whereas last year it seemed so obvious, it might seem more of an achievement if he does it this time round. The last few weeks' mess may work in his and WWE's favour, maybe Reigns and the Bloodline's too.

I think you might be giving them more credit than they deserve Dazzles. 

[Supremo]

I don’t think they’d be stupid enough to do anything other than the big Cody victory. Likely with The Rock turning on Roman.

Worst case scenario, though?

Dirty Dominik Mysterio steals the MITB briefcase, wins the title and him and Rhea end the show hugging. I'm all for it.

If they started letting him walk down to the ring now, he might get there in time.
