The only reason I'd be inclined to disagree is because I don't see Rock winning the title as the big moment. It'd be different if this was a Ziggler, or Barrett, someones first title, but Rock is a 7 time champ (iirc). I get the allure of Rock coming back and winning the title being a big thing, but he's not going to be around, so a win at the Rumble and then a drop at Mania makes the most sense, business wise and talent wise. I imagine they'll attempt to make the moment bigger by adding a stip of some sort and I imagine the peak WONT happen at the Rumble, simply because I believe Rocks win might not be clean. A non-clean victory for Rock, an enraged Punk winning the Rumble and then absolutely LIVID his title reign was ended, leading to amazing promos and television could lead to an even bigger rematch at Mania if booked properly. I could totally see that as a possibility.
