Mania is showcase season. If John and Cody wanted to have an absolute banger of a match, I'd definitely be interested and I think they'd both deserve it!

That would of been so cool and a banger

They can make the match happen at SummerSlam this year.
When Cody wins the world title they should do this at SummerSlam. Would be a great match and sell a lot of tickets also if Cody wins it would be huge for his reign.
