The Rock seemingly turned heel at tonight's event, judging by his choice of words and actions. His portrayals of a villain in the past have been nothing but profitable, be it the Corporate Rock from The Attitude Era or Hollywood Rock from The Ruthless Aggression Era.
As for Cody Rhodes, The American Nightmare has finally made his decision and will face Reigns at 'Mania. Last year, Rhodes came incredibly close to defeating Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal title. In the end, though, he lost the match due to Solo Sikoa's interference.
What did you think of tonight's event? Are you happy with Rhodes getting his main event spot back from The Rock? Sound off in the comments section below.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
