No one knows what Cody was gonna do at Mania
No one knows what Rock was gonna do after Mania. Or what Roman was gonna do after Mania, while still being champion.
But they pivoted perfectly to the 1 thing that answers all of that. And instead of Wrestlemania 40, Roman wins again. We fall into Wrestlemania 40, new era, with Cody hugging Nick Khan's kid. Even though the exact same scenario played out with Daniel Bryan who also needed the fans to "force" him into the Wrestlemania main event that they had been building him up for.
But the wrestling characters said it was real, so it must be. Okay.

Kayfabe, man. They don't get it. Cody is old school and Dustys the same person that wore a cast at home to further storylineI know that that wrestling is fake and they don't actually hit each other. I know what this means:
Bryan Danielson: I Love To Lie, Cody Rhodes Taught Me How Fun Lying Is | Fightful News
Bryan Danielson comments on Cody's departure from AEW.www.fightful.com
But I get it. Some people actually don't want to know how the magician does the trick. Legit I get it. I'm not that person, but bad of me to try to ruin it for the rest of you. If yall like it, I love it.

It got Rock over as a heel for the first time in 20 years.
It got Cody over as a mega face and created even greater odds for him to overcome on his way to the title.
It caused doubt about an outcome that had previously been inevitable since Wrestlemania 39. And caused the fans to believe that they were the only ones responsible for righting the injustice.
It gave Rock a storyline reason to wrestle at Wrestlemania, other than "I'm The Rock lol".
It created the storyline arc that ended Roman's run in a satisfactory way and set up the new arc to carry the company forward (Cody vs The Final Boss).
Lots of benefits to carrying on the work.
All they did was show the world that Jungle Boy got put in his place, what Punk said is what the footage showed.

Holy shit you're right! I totally forgot that Cody was the son of a man who worked his own family even at home!

At last glance they hadn't even sold 3000 tickets for tonight's show. How is this supposed to put butts in seats?
This the kind of stunt that minor league promotions do
How is big bad heel jack perry going to be believable after this
It does help when they try to blame it on FTR but it still look pretty pathetic on their part. And they still don’t stop talking about WWE

This is how far wrestlers were willing to go to keep kayfabe. The wrestlers Cody, Rock and Roman's dad were in the business with. It's nothing for them to lie in a few interviews. That's what they were raised to do.

Where was the lie, he said he approached dude and yoked him up
I'm sure Jack said some shit that made Punk put hands on him.
