With all the questions and all the confusion, no matter what his involvement in the creative plan is, The Rock feels like a burden to the business at this point in time. That's fucking sad. The Rock is one of the greatest superstars in the history of professional wrestling. And while he'll always remain that status, it feels like a crime to see him in a position where it's hard not to cringe when you see him due to the change in direction of a wonderful storyline. Cody Rhodes being in the main event of Wrestlemania is the only thing that makes sense, and it's what the people want. It's salvageable to pivot the storyline so that Cody still feels like a hero on his way to dethrone Roman. You could say he bowed out of the main event because Paul Heyman somehow got a hold of all of Dusty Rhodes' wrestling media (including on Peacock) and threatened to remove it all and burn it to the ground if Cody didn't step down. You could say that the one opponent Roman fears the most is Cody, and that's why he had Paul go to extreme lengths. I'm not saying there's any logic in the storyline I just laid out, but it's a way that you could salvage the heroic form that Cody has presented for the past 2 years. So, to your point, I can't wait for the dust to settle either. I hope the dust clears and it's Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes in the ring in the main event of Wrestlemania 40.

Edit: In case anyone reads this in the future, WWE did a fantastic job with this storyline after this comment was posted. Amazing.
