The delivery was longwinded, the pieces sometimes out of order and the message at times confusing — far from The Rock’s best work.&nbsp;

But the major possibilities certainly are there to keep Cody Rhodes as interesting as he’s ever been as the shine of his “Finish the story” arc wears off, while also supercharging a babyface Roman Reigns.

The Rock was trying to walk a very fine line on last Friday’s SmackDown, to be able to come out, crack jokes and schmooze a crowd so he can be cheered when he announces things like New Orleans hosting WrestleMania 42. And then turn around the next minute and tell the fans to stop singing with him among other heel zingers during the 25-minute-plus segment.

It muddies the water, for sure.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
