When did Dave mention it

If you're talking about the surprise he and Bryan were excited about, that was already confirmed to 1) be Cena/Joe at Mania and 2) not be happening

As far as anyone else saying it, it's been 3 full years. This is now firmly in the Cena Heel Turn category of "don't ever assume it's happening until the commentators explicitly repeatedly openly explain it's happening because otherwise it's 100% not"

Honestly, I'd be with you if it weren't for Reign's spot in the Rumble. He was sent out specifically to get boo's, and I can't remember the last time they did with Reigns as a solo competitor.

They didn't want the Rumble booed a 3rd (4th???) year in a row and knew Reigns being eliminated would make the winner they had (who would have gotten booed if he was eliminating anyone else) get cheered. It was probably the smartest booking decision they've made since Punk won the belt in Chicago

They also had him go out and eliminate the Undertaker, which they know he's going to get boo'd doing, and they know he will get boo'd during the Undertaker match. They didn't do it just for the end result, because they're also setting him up as a heel in the Taker match.

This is an excellent point, and also it's criminal that you don't have an avatar that matches your username, but if I was gonna' spend money on an avatar, I'd fix mine.
