They could also have given The Rock a clean babyface victory, "beating the odds" of the Corporation and winning the belt.

Instead they ran an angle where Mankind was Vince's "chosen boy," the guy who was going to be the new Corporate champ. And in the main event, Vince screwed Mankind to turn The Rock heel and make him the actual new Corporate Champion, building in automatic angles with Rock/Austin and Rock/Mankind.


I mean, I'm just answering your question.
No doubt, sometimes they do things creatively that involve good planning, people react to and they stray from the norm to swerve people. See: Cena being eliminated from that Elimination Chamber match in about 2 minutes last year.

The outcome of said Austin angle in the end? Austin beats Rock to regain the belt at Mania.
