The Rock, a titan in the wrestling world, stood witness to the ultimate demise of his cousin, Roman Reigns’ historic title reign. It was Cody Rhodes who defied all odds and obstacles, including some placed by The Rock himself, to defeat Reigns and win the Undisputed WWE Championship at WrestleMania 40.
Much like a true sportsman, The Final Boss acknowledged his family’s defeat and gave Rhodes his flowers on the following night on RAW. However, he made it clear that he would be returning to WWE after his hiatus, setting his sights squarely on The American Nightmare.
The Rock’s Road to Redemption
Also, rumors swirled about a potential Rock vs Cody match in the future, with The Great One himself eyeing a showdown at WrestleMania 41. Fueling the speculations further, The Rock had a message for the entire WWE Universe.
Taking to his Instagram, The Final Boss dropped a video showcasing parts of the build-up from their WrestleMania feud, his and Reigns’ spectacular win on Night 1, and finally, the closing moments of the main event of Night 2 when Rhodes defeated Reigns.
The Rock’s statement left no doubt: WrestleMania 40 may be in the books, but it was only the first chapter in the cinema of The Final Boss.
“The Final Boss is a builder. A long gamer. WRESTLEMANIA Night 2 may be in the record books. But this is only Chapter 1 of Final Boss Cinema. To be continued…”
With The Rock speculated to wrestle a match in 2024 before WrestleMania 41 arrives, where he is rumored to battle Cody Rhodes, it would come in handy for him to prepare for the man who shattered the rule of his family over the WWE landscape and take his revenge for the same.
