Credit:pwinsider on the Rock mania tidbits Some notes on Cody, The Rock, etc. *Multiple sources have noted that The Rock is 100% performing in the ring at Wrestlemania 40. That is a done deal and as we noted on Saturday, likely something that was contractually locked in as one of the milestones Rock would be involved in as part of his TKO Board of Directors deal. We were told there is "no scenario" where Rock is not wrestling Roman Reigns at Wrestlemania 40, unless something unforeseen happens, like an injury. *Brian Gerwirtz is expected to be at major WWE events going forward, including The Elimination Chamber PPV in Perth as part of the creative process leading to Wrestlemania.*WWE absolutely took notice of the Cody Rhodes reaction and there are some who have pushed for the company to lean into it, feeling it will make Cody a stronger babyface by playing up the fan surge into him. The plan here was never to turn Rock heel or to have it come across, even to "smart fans" as if he was maliciously taking Rhodes' spot. As several in the company pointed out, they can adjust the plan week by week to "make it make sense" and they have a long way until Wrestlemania. Some we spoke with believe that now that the shock of Rock coming into the storylines can wear off, creative can lock in ways to build everyone as strong as possible leading into Wrestlemania season . We are told anything is on the table creatively as they map Mania season out. There is absolutely no one in the company on the creative end that wants any of this to dilute Cody's standing, PWInsiderElite.com is told, as they know how important he is to the company's business, including live events and merchandise.*There are erroneous reports that I reported Cody as World Heavyweight Champion vs. The Undisputed Universal Champion with Cody going over this August at Summerslam and that it was a lock and was happening. Obviously, I never reported that, nor would anything in 2024 be a lock six months out when there are way too many variables involved that far in advance. What was actually written was that there were people in the company talking about such a scenario as an idea - but those with no reading comprehension interpolated it into a completely different statement

I'm there dude...

Seems like Rock pulled a power move and won... Found on reddit: On the newest Observer Radio, Dave revealed a lot of new info that he’s learned about the Rock/Roman situation, namely that it has apparently been the plan for weeks but it was kept a very close secret. He says Rock being in the WM main event was part of his deal to join the TKO board and get his trademark back, it was all one deal. Says the deal was made on January 3rd. Dave does not know why Cody was booked to win the Rumble in spite of that, but he does know most people in the company did not know Rock was facing Roman and most people in the company were still being told as recently as last week that it was Roman vs. Cody. The deal with Rock was done between Rock, Ari Emmanuel, and Nick Khan. Says “they didn’t tell almost anyone”. He also says he doesn’t know if they have decided to turn it into an angle, but they have already made merch and signed sponsorships related to the match so he’s unsure how open they would be to changing the match, regardless of the crowd reaction.

Found on reddit; **“They are trying to figure out a situation on how to get him out of the video game, and they're trying to -- which may not be possible, you know, and trying to figure out a way to erase him from history, which is completely impossible, you can't do it, you know.”** **"It's a very unique and interesting situation that we're probably going to be hearing about constantly.'**

Wtf is going on in wweland? They had a ready made storyline.. Rock as soecial ref,cody wins the title and then Rock vs Roman at summerslam... This was beyond pointless..

Found on twiitter PWInsider: We should expect to see Brock Lesnar downplayed (if not outright removed as he was in the Supercard game) as much as possible going forward by 2K & potentially other licensees.
