The Rock’s recent transformation into a heel character seamlessly blends his Hollywood charisma with the rebellious attitude that defined his iconic persona in the late 90s.
However, this newfound persona has not shielded him from scathing criticism, as evidenced by Cody Rhodes’ blistering verbal assault on this week’s episode of Monday Night RAW.
In a heated exchange, The American Nightmare seized the opportunity to confront The Rock for his disparaging remarks, particularly those aimed at his family, during The Great One’s much-talked-about ‘Rock Concert’ segment on SmackDown the previous week.
Challenging The Rock’s portrayal as a heel, Rhodes wasted no time in taking shots at the Hollywood star’s influence within the TKO Board, while also addressing The Rock’s comments about his mother with a mix of respect and defiance.
Describing The Rock in derogatory terms, Rhodes pulled no punches, branding him “an a******” with “little d*** syndrome.” The intensity of Rhodes’ verbal onslaught did not go unnoticed by fans, with one echoing similar sentiments on social media, claiming that Rhodes had “cooked” The Rock with his scathing remarks.
Seizing the opportunity to respond, The Rock delivered a cutting retort, showcasing his trademark wit and unapologetic attitude. As tensions continue to simmer between The Rock and Rhodes, all eyes are on their upcoming clash at WrestleMania 40.
Scheduled to team up with Roman Reigns in a tag team match against Cody and Seth Rollins on Night 1, The Rock has made it clear that he intends to settle the score with Rhodes once and for all. With the outcome of this match determining the rules for the Night 2 main event, the stakes have never been higher.
As the countdown to WrestleMania 40 begins, the WWE Universe eagerly awaits The Rock’s next move, knowing full well that he will stop at nothing to assert his dominance in the ring.
