The video just reaffirms what I was already thinking. And that is it cannot end with Cody. I think THEY see it as the belts need to be back to how it was before Roman's reign (pun intended). They think the bloodline story can continue without the belts. And it can but this is family business now. And it should end with family (Rock/Jey vs Reigns at Mania) at this point. It HAS to be WM, and the stakes has to be high. The only thing Reigns cares for are those belts and his title as tribal chief so there goes your stakes. I believe they can do this for one more year and pull it off somehow.
They could make it that Reigns keeps his titles but loses his family in the process. Then by WM next year. Have him spend a little while trying to get them back on his side going into the match with Rock. Have them not acknowledge him, and let that be Romans weakness and downfall. Roman thrives off of acknowledgement. Maybe even have that family segment they scrapped some months ago and have them acknowledge Rock instead.
Edit: They did good with the vid, but watching this storyline unfold in realtime hit harder, and it’s been a pleasure watching it progress all this time. I’d personally say from September 23rd, 2022 on it became something bigger than what they’ve previously imagined. Even though it’s family business. Sami should at least be involved here and there some how (KO to an extent as well). The “ucey” corpsing may be my personal favorite moment. That shyt reminds me of Martin when they’d do or say something really funny. They’d try so hard not to laugh, but they’d keep the camera rolling even though they’re visibly laughing. If it’s not that it HAS to be when Jey saved Sami at tribal court. That was like the peak of the story for me. I was in awe at how good that was. I completely wasn’t expecting it.
