Back in January, Cody Rhodes won the men’s Royal Rumble to earn a WrestleMania title match. In early February, Rhodes turned the title shot over to the Rock, who teased facing Roman Reigns instead of Rhodes getting to challenge. According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, WWE had planned to run an injury angle to write Rhodes out of the match but ultimately dropped the plans due to CM Punk’s injury.

Opinion: This is certainly a twist and it would have been a way to explain what happened.

What matters is that we have gotten to where we need to be and WrestleMania has the potential to be something huge, especially with the main event.
