WWE WrestleMania 40 saw tensions rise as The Rock clashed with WWE Undisputed Champion Cody Rhodes. The rivalry ignited when The Rock took Cody Rhodes’ spot, despite Rhodes winning the Royal Rumble to challenge Roman Reigns for the WWE Undisputed Championship.
Fans were outraged when The Rock replaced Cody Rhodes as Roman Reigns’ opponent at WrestleMania 40. They expressed their displeasure on social media, sparking the hashtag #WeWantCody. Responding to the backlash, Cody Rhodes eventually faced Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship.
Additionally, Rhodes teamed up with Seth Rollins to take on The Rock and Roman Reigns in a tag team match, in which The Rock and Reigns emerged victorious on the first night of WrestleMania 40. This led to a Bloodline Rules match between Reigns and Rhodes on night two.
On night two, against all odds, Rhodes accomplished the impossible by defeating Roman Reigns, ending his 1,317-day reign as WWE Undisputed Champion. Amidst this rivalry, an exciting face-off occurred at the WWE Hall of Fame.
The day before WrestleMania 40, WWE held the Hall of Fame Ceremony, where The Rock inducted his grandmother, Lia Maivia. During the ceremony, The Rock called out Cody Rhodes, who was seated in the audience.
The Rock made it clear that “It’s not business, it’s personal,” and revealed that his mother wanted him to defeat Rhodes. In response, Cody Rhodes stood up and stared down at The Rock. Recently, the WWE Undisputed Champion shared what was going through his mind during that intense moment.
What Cody Rhodes was thinking when The Rock called him out?
WWE Undisputed Champion Cody Rhodes recently appeared on his new show, What Do You Wanna Talk About? The latest episode featured his mentor, Randy Orton. During the episode, Rhodes opened up about The Rock’s callout at the Hall of Fame.
He shared,”[The] Rock is talking about something and then decides to turn and start cutting a promo on me, and this is The Rock. And I’m [asking myself] do I stand up? I stood up. Now when do I sit down? Also Brandy refused to stand up for him. You know, everybody stands up she refused. You’re the only one. Oh God, the heat. Which is her personality.”
After Cody Rhodes defeated Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 40, The Rock confronted him, warning that when he returns, he’s coming for Rhodes’ title. Rumors suggest that their highly anticipated match could take place next year at WrestleMania 41 in Las Vegas.
