You literally just explained why they pivoted lmao. It was TKO's board vs HHH and HHH won. I promise you it's not the big brain play you think it is.Okay. So they had Cody win the Rumble and immediately in the ring challenge Roman.
Then they said yknow what let's just have Rock face Roman. Not when Roman was abusing his cousins last year and it'd make storyline sense, nah let's just have him show up when Roman has otherwise been absent from the show. And let's screw over our top babyface that we've been building a Rocky 2 story for the past year while we are at it. So much so that we even have built our video game around "finishing the story".
And then let's have Cody forfeit the title shot he earned to the Rock in ring making Rock look like a complete asshole in the process. And then let's have Rock and Roman not say 1 word to each other so as to not provide them with a story AT ALL.
Simultaneously let's also announce an impromptu press conference for apparently no reason at all. And at that show with the biggest possible audience let's just whimsically turn the Rock heel for the first time in 20 years and change our planned Main Event for the biggest show of the year because that's a thing WWE would do.
Next let's discuss how fans "forced" WWE to put Daniel Bryan in the main event of WM30.
