Seth Rollins’ faction, The Vision, might strike first to weaken Cody’s side before the pay-per-view. The heel group could focus on Randy Orton, eliminating him as Rhodes’s strongest ally. In the main event, Rollins, Bron Breakker, Bronson Reed, and Paul Heyman might unleash a brutal assault on The Viper.
Orton being carried to medical care would leave Rhodes isolated, playing directly into Rollins’ manipulative strategy. It would be a dark, cinematic ending, perfect to raise the stakes for Crown Jewel.
