Still a beginner, but in the two preludes I'm playing the phenomenon I'm using as an analogy is called "resolution," (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resolution_(music)). It happens most notably 8 bars from the end of BWV 999, and in every every 4th bar in BWV 846. We sense it as a kind of "relief." Everyone uses it, but I used Bach as an example (instead of say, pentatonic blues or jazz) because he stacks a bunch of variation in before the resolution.
The rhetorical analogue is creating tension in the listener by adding parenthetical ideas (open loops), and then making them agreeable by providing relief by "resolving," them to your theme. The link to "kayfabe," is that the stacked story lines in the wrestling narrative create the same tension and consequent audience and participant submission by overloading our ability to track the individual threads.
Eric Weinstein said on Rogan that he thinks this is what the current president did to win the last election, and that he picked it up literally from his time in the professional wrestling world. I tend to agree with him on that one, and am sympathetic to his idea because it reflects dynamics in other areas.
