* They would have built Cody/Seth more purposefully — probably starting before the Rumble. That way it wouldn’t have been so “Cody is absolutely going to choose Roman and there is no other way!” after he won the Rumble. Cole was very specific to stay away from ambiguity when Cody won. I don’t know if it was Pat or Corey who basically nudged in and made sure Cole didn’t leave any doubt.
* Cody walking away in the Rock/Roman segment. That made him feel displaced as opposed to someone actually using his agency. He could have hung around, smiled on Heyman’s face at ringside, etc.
* Even the walk Roman and Rock did to the face-to-face spot seemed…weird. I thought they might have just been trying a different way of doing it, but it seemed so…orchestrated. Like they were “in-step.” Kind of thematically in-line with the now revealed idea that Rock wants the match because of pure nepotism.
