The tension became palpable at the WrestleMania Kickoff Press event in Las Vegas after Cody Rhodes and The Rock found themselves at the center of a heated confrontation. Chaos erupted at the WrestleMania Kickoff Press Conference as Cody Rhodes threw a wrench into the planned main event.
Ignoring the anticipated clash between Roman Reigns and The Rock, Cody Rhodes, fresh off his Royal Rumble victories, boldly declared, “bulls**t!” before choosing Reigns as his WrestleMania 40 opponent. This bombshell announcement left The Rock, previously eyeing a match with Reigns, fuming.
The Great One’s anger reached a boiling point when Cody Rhodes criticized the Anoa’i family, claiming their ancestors would be ashamed. The Rock responded with a shocking slap, igniting a tense exchange peppered with expletives between the four wrestlers—Rhodes, Reigns, The Rock, and Rollins.
Logan Paul suggests Cody Rhodes could sue The Rock
Publicly showing support, Logan Paul was vocal about wanting Cody Rhodes in the WrestleMania 40 main event. Last week on SmackDown, The American Nightmare relinquished his WrestleMania 40 main event position, seemingly giving it to The Rock. This triggered a significant backlash against WWE and The Great One on various social media platforms.
During tonight’s WrestleMania XL Kickoff event, Paul watched the event attentively. He was astonished when The Rock slapped Cody Rhodes following the latter’s verbal jab at his family. Paul remarked that Rhodes could potentially sue The Great One for a significant sum, labeling it as “assault.”
This incident has ignited a firestorm of reactions, with fans debating the implications of The Rock’s actions. The Great One also had a tense confrontation with Triple H backstage following the chaotic brawl.
