Cody!

I want your soul.

Yeah, and it's like, this is a bit of a head scratcher.

They're, like, drinking backstage, and then he goes into his car.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

You know, you also have to wonder, like, The Rock's headspace, given that at this point he had probably been turned down for the Cody.

Heel turn, yeah.

When was this one?

Oh, it was just in advance of Elimination Chamber.

This was February 21st, the SmackDown.

Okay.

Okay.

And Elimination Chamber is March 1st, I think.

So, yeah.

So he had been turned down on the whole Cody's going to turn heel thing, I'm assuming.

Yeah.

Yeah, you got to wonder, like, at that point, you know, and I don't think The Rock, it's not like The Rock phoned it in, quite the opposite.

The Rock was trying to take up as much space as he could there.

And so, yeah, I don't know.

Knowing that you've already been shot down and you're doing this angle, or maybe at this point they were still throwing ideas around and the Elimination Chamber John Cena heel turn wasn't set in stone.
