Here's my (unpopular) opinions about the rumble and what happens moving forward:
1) They are obviously putting the belt on Cody Rhodes, although I'm not personally a fan of the goody two shoes all American white boi gimmick, he's on the cover of their new video game, and the fanboys who had a hissy fit about him losing last year weren't going to shut up unless WWE "righted that wrong" in their opinion. I think it would be hilarious if Roman retained again, storyline wise, not sure what else there is to do with him and the belt at this point...he doesn't technically need it I guess now that he's broken the 1K threshold
2) Damian Priest is in danger of losing all of that MitB momentum he had built up, all of his cash ins have been thwarted for dumb reasons and he really has no main feud going on, they are building up this Rollins and CM Punk thing on Raw and obviously he wasn't going to cash in on Roman, so what now? The Judgement Day is becoming a joke group with all the R Truth stuff and Rhea has displaced him as the defacto leader. If he doesn't successfully cash in on Corny Rhodes after WM, that would be a huge miss and he would go down the almost can do it but not quite mid card route that Drew McIntyre is on now
3) the belt Seth Rollins has is dumb and his reign is highly forgettable, I'm not even sure what his character is supposed to be, his wife is called The Man, what is he? A fashionista with a song the crowd chants to? Imo Shushinske should have beaten him at least once in their feud to make the reign somewhat credible as this everyman's belt they are selling it as. Corny Rhodes has been on Raw this whole time and not once cared one iota about challenging Rollins for the so called World Heavyweight belt, I guess that don't count towards finishing his little story...
4) Solo has done jackshit since murdering Cena last year, they made him look like an unstoppable Umaga type clone, but all he does is wear hoods and pulls refs outta Roman matches. They basically turned him and Jimmy into Bebop and Rocksteady to Roman's Shredder with Heyman looking overseeing the operation as Krang. I'm sure he will eventually turn on Roman before WM so that they can give Corny Rhodes an easier path to the belt, but he's mostly doing nothing
5) why do they call Jey Uso, Main Event Uso when he hasn't won a single thing as a solo act away from the Bloodline? His entrance and the crowd reaction is the best thing about him at this point, you gotta have him win a singles title at some point I believe
6) CM Punk is obviously going to feud with Rhodes, but I see him winning EC so they can set up him main eventing night 1 of WM against Rollins
7) Gunther's IC title reign is losing steam now that he's broken Honky Tonk's record, his feuds have been mid going against people with no chance of beating him like Miz, Gable, and now Kofi Kingston.
8) Sami Zayn is overrated, at least in the Bloodline he had a storyline with some purpose, now he's just out there running around like what Russell Westbrook said about Pat Beverly
9) Jade Cargill... wow, props. I think she will feud with Nia Jax before they setup the Bianca thing, they will wait a year or 2 before they come back to that because WWE loves to tease things and slow play every single interesting angle now
10) what happens to Roman if he loses at WM? I think he'll still show up every now and again and keep something going on with remnants of the Bloodline angle, but not sure who his next feud would be with
