WWE would've agonised over the result of Roman Reigns vs. Cody Rhodes for months. On one hand, Roman has been such a success as the biz's top heel. On the other, Cody has roared back onto this roster with passion, popularity and a genuine World Champ-ready aura.

His story, one obsessed with winning a belt to honour the memory of his late father Dusty, is real and impactful. So, it'd be a bit sh*tty if WWE poured cold water all over that just to keep Reigns ticking into the summer months. Hell, the 'Tribal Chief' deserves a break from carrying the company on his back anyway.

It's Cody's turn. Or is it?

Tears would be shed if he lost then cut a mournful promo about letting his family down when it mattered most. Heartbreak can be a useful tool in wrestling, but fans are ready to see Rhodes ascend the mountain and leave with the title.

If he doesn't, then there will be a lot of disillusioned faces in LA.
