Drew Vs Cody vs Orton at WrestleMania
I’m calling it now.
Cody will win this Friday. Drew will be absolutely furious about it and he will demand a rematch. That next match will end in some kind of weird finish, maybe Cody indirectly cheats, there’s a DQ, or Drew wins without an actual title change.
Drew will keep causing chaos after that, ranting about how he keeps getting screwed over again and again. Eventually, this leads to a triple threat match being announced between Cody, Drew, and Orton at WrestleMania.
Then, on the last SmackDown before WrestleMania (or very close to it), someone attacks Drew backstage. This confuses everyone, because lately people have been blaming Drew for the anonymous backstage attacks. It makes sense too, since he’s also been attacking other wrestlers during live matches ever since the Rumble.
Plot twist: Drew is guilty of the attacks we’ve seen on camera (obviously), but not the backstage ones. That was Cody all along. He took out Jacob, Jey, and then Drew. This information won't be disclosed until after Mania. They will probably blame Jacob Fatu in the meantime. (They will have Cody indirectly saying: well, Drew attacked Jacob first, you do the math on that one)
This changes things at Mania (again), now it's a singles match.
Cody wins at WrestleMania, unless Drew shows up and costs him the match. Either way, we end up with that triple threat at Backlash. Orton gets his 15th title there, unless Drew interferes at Mania and makes Cody lose the match.
