Yes. In the coming weeks i believe Cody will shed some light on what transpired but i'll give you my take on this: Lets go back to the Smackdown segment. Cody mentioned "taking counsel" multiple times during that promo. Which turned out to be the Rock. A guy who just joined the Board. A man that Cody looks up to. When he came out and hugged him, Cody's facial expressions and body language spoke volumes. There was a look happiness that quickly turned into a look of uncertainty and dejection. He walked away with a look on his face as if he was questioning if he did the right thing. He said he had a lot of conversations, one including the Rock who wanted him to step aside. We all know Cody is big on family. Rock knows that too and used that aspect as a way to manipulate him into giving up his WM spot. He convinced Cody he should face Roman at a later date. As The Rock and Roman faced off, pay attention to how there was never a WrestleMania graphic shown for a Rock vs Roman match. Not on Smackdown or social media. Bayley and Iyo's match graphic was put out immediately after their segment. On the following RAW, Cody didnt choose Seth when he had every opportunity to do. Cody slowly began to realize he had been taken advantage of and when he saw The Rock mocking him and his fans on Pat McAfee's show thats when it became clear to him, which is why he posted on IG around that time that he's made his decision. At the presser he listened to what they were saying on that stage. He got so pissed he couldnt even wait for his music to hit. He couldnt wait to come out and tell them how everything they said was BULLSHIT... There is still nearly 2 months left on the road to wrestlemania. I believe alot of these questions will be answered. Lets let it play out.
