I would wait on this match when it can be face Roman vs heel Cody. I would not do this baby face vs baby face. As for the tease, doesn't mean anything. In the end, it just is announcing Roman is on the rumble and why he is there. Now you can have something happen that sends him on another road. For Cody, I would do Cena vs Cody. Have Cena going for number 17 in his final Mania match against his apparent successor. That's I think a huge match you can do insteadLets be honest, Cody vs. Roman III is the biggest match they could do for the WrestleMania main event at present time. They are in the Rock/Austin WMX7 phase now, as the two top babyfaces competing for the top spot, as opposed to the previous two times where Cody was the top babyface chasing the top heel Roman for the title, trying to "finish his story".
And storyline wise it makes the most sense, as Roman has basically told Cody that he was coming for him once the feud with Solo was done (and he had Heyman tell Cody to his face on Smackdown that he was entering the Rumble). And they are really playing up all the paranoia of Roman rising back up to power with Drew and Seth telling everyone he hasn't changed, and Kevin Owens getting on Cody for being too forgiving of Roman and teaming up with him, which is why KO turned heel this time around. I don't think any of that is a coincidence.
As for Roman, I would do a shocking twist and have Heyman screw him out of winning. Then have the reveal be Punk's favor is he wants to Main Event at Mania, and the easiest way to do it is Punk vs Roman. That's where I would go there if it was me
