Cattle Mutilation
Superstar
The Final Boss that wasn’t the Final Boss, unless he is planting the seeds for Cody vs. Rock. But Cody would have the title, so The Rock wouldn’t be the Final Boss in that scenario.
Aside From Himself (& The Undertaker) Who Did The Rock Help Put/Get Over This Run…?

Everyone in that tag match is established. Rock wasn’t feuding with LA Knight or Austin Theory. Who needed to be “put over” to better their career?
How about the people in the opening post?
The other member of the bloodline?
Not only did they not get more over, He overshadowed and little brothered Roman this entire run.

He’s not an up and coming wrassler who needs to “look strong” every outing. And no one will give a shyt months from now when he returns because by next week everyone will have moved on.
Reality Check
Keepin' it 100
I'd love to see this feud for the lone fact that The Rock could absolutely bury the guy who's cosplaying him.
Rock/Cody is more comparable to Batista/Danielson since WWE actually did a pivot both times after listening to the fans and made the right decision. There was no pivot or righting any wrongs for what HHH and Nash did to the Summer of Punk 
Can we stop with this lie?
Cody was already this before the rock even got back.
Which is why The Rock decided to work with him
nikka got pushed aside cause he was already super over and the fans got his ass up outta here. Knock it off
Rock just spent the last 2 months advertising "Cody's story" on his social media for millions of casual fans and getting outside viewers invested it a dried up storyline. There's more to putting people over than just taking a pin. Sometime it's being a villain and helping create a sympathetic hero for people to root for (yes more than last year).
But you're right. Cody is super over and The Rock didn't add anything. He did it all by himself. Let's see how over he is in a few months now that the payoff is complete.
He was legitimately Cody's lone bit of non-Brock adversity (which doesn't count really if you think about it) that he faced between losing at Mania 39 and winning at Mania 40. A good face should have to overcome adversity.
Yes, I know, he tore his pec. And Seth still jobbed to him inside Hell In A Cell. That man had been virtually bulletproof until the Rock made him FAFO.
Speaking personally, The Rock laying the smackdown on Cody outside of his bus made me OK with Cody winning the title. Frankly, it made me more interested in a Cody/Rock feud than Cody/Roman.
I would also suggest letting the run play out in full before making a judgement call.

Did you not watch the rumble? Cmon breh
Yeah, a dried up storyline. A Rock-less build-up to WM looks like that last promo between Roman & Cody on Smackdown.A dried up storyline
Did you not watch the rumble? Cmon breh
He lett the company and completely reinvented himself after being told he would never be shyt
Got so over in doing so that the biggest alternative wrestling company since WCW was formed
But yeah, He needed more “adversity”
Probably looks like WM39 which the rock was nowhere around for and they still smashed every recordYeah, a dried up storyline. A Rock-less build-up to WM looks like that last promo between Roman & Cody on Smackdown.
