   @ArpComics I don't think the initial idea to replace Cody with the Rock was a work, but I do think they made the right move in the end to switch back and have built on top of that energy for an exciting WrestleMania. Now that we're back on track for Cody vs Roman I'm along for the ride.

     I wondered how they'd respond to the fan backlash with #CodyRhodes 'stepping aside' for #TheRock; I thought they miscalculated badly. After this, I'm convinced it's a work; bringing back the world's most popular human as a heel stepping & crapping all over Rhodes and the #WWE was just plain smart.

     Was the slap real or a work? The fact that's even a question means the storytelling is on point. This is the best #ProWrestling storytelling in YEARS.
