WWE WrestleMania 40: 20 Things That Must Happen

12. The Rock Gets The Fall For His Team

The Rock's cutting remarks, violent behaviour and killer promos have been a breath of fresh air for WWE's product. Some are even proudly proclaiming that the 'Attitude Era' is back. Not quite, but Rocky's actions do stand out next to most company fare over the past few years. There's no denying that.

Initially, eyes would've rolled had Rock pinning either Cody Rhodes or Seth Rollins been pitched for this year's 'Mania. Here's the truth: Dwayne shouldn't beat Cody during the Bloodline vs. Babyface tag effort. No, he should crack Seth with a People's Elbow/Rock Bottom following Drew's interference instead.

Rhodes must be protected at all costs. That's crucial.

Rollins would have an out due to McIntyre's run-in anyway, and Rock getting the win for he and Roman could be useful later on once WWE pulls the trigger on that particular head-to-head. The Rock snagging the pin and ensuring 'Bloodline Rules' 24 hours later sounds logical.
