Rock vs. Roman epic main event on night 2 in Philadelphia...the same place that Roman won the Rumble & got booed out of the building in 2015 with Rock raising his hand.

Just another chance to point that while they do not acknowledge it on TV, WWE.com STILL lists Roman as the Universal Champion at 1223 days AND the WWE Champion at 642 days.
They can still technically end his WWE Championship reign without ending the 1223 day reign. Have Heyman do some trickery on the inexperienced GM. Then Cody can still win the Championship his father didn't, Punk can still get his main event vs Seth, and Roman can try to continue his reign vs Rock.
Cody and Orton or Knight or AJ would probably open night 2, but the story is not win that title in the main event at Mania, so they can still complete that payoff.
Plus imagine the heat when the Bloodline comes out on that Friday and brags about how they are the smartest and Roman is still Universal Champion.
