The Rock’s return to WWE was met with anticipation, as fans hoped to see him headline WrestleMania 40 alongside his iconic cousin, Roman Reigns. However, the atmosphere quickly turned sour when fans voiced their preference for Cody Rhodes to take that coveted spot.
At a recent WrestleMania kick-off press event, tensions escalated when The Rock confronted Cody Rhodes face-to-face. Rhodes seemingly disrespected The Rock’s family, prompting The Great One to respond with a resounding slap across Rhodes’ face.
Reflecting on the incident, The People’s Champion took to Instagram to share a clip of the altercation and issue a stern warning to Cody Rhodes. He made it clear that there would be consequences for anyone who dared to disrespect his family.
The anticipation for WrestleMania reached a fever pitch as WWE CCO Triple H appeared on SmackDown to announce a blockbuster match: Cody Rhodes versus Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship at WrestleMania 40.
Furthermore, it was revealed that The Rock and Roman Reigns would be making an appearance on the upcoming edition of SmackDown to address Triple H’s decision, adding even more intrigue to the road to WrestleMania.
The stage is set for an epic showdown between two wrestling legends, with tensions running high and the stakes higher than ever. Fans eagerly await the next chapter in this unfolding drama as WrestleMania draws near.
“I was born into this crazy world and I love every second of it. It’s been decades since pro wrestling has been buzzing like this for WRESTLEMANIA and this has become rare air that we’re all breathing, and it’s very fucking cool & exciting for us, as wrestlers, our company and most importantly – all our fans.
Your hero fucked around and he found out quick what happens when you talk about our family with disrespect.
Lines crossed and blurred – bring it.
We don’t toe the mark for no one.
Road to Wrestlemania begins…
