SUMMARY
- The Rock had a awkward confrontation with Cody Rhodes on RAW after WrestleMania
- We might not see The Rock for a while after tonight's RAW
WrestleMania 40, which took place on April 6 and 7, 2024, was a blockbuster event. The main event of Night 1 featured Roman Reigns and The Rock defeating Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins. Whereas, in the main event of Night 2, Rhodes defeated Roman to become the new Undisputed WWE Universal Champion. With that, he made an appearance on RAW following WrestleMania.
On the April 8, 2024, episode of Monday Night RAW, Triple H made an appearance. Thereafter, he called out the new champion, Cody Rhodes. The American Nightmare then began interacting with the audience. As Cody was enjoying his moment, The Rock’s music played, and The Final Boss made an appearance.
As Dwayne Johnson began to speak, fans booed him. Finally, he got his moment to speak and talked about Cody’s mother and father. He also revealed that Cody’s father was his hero. However, later, The Rock asked Rhodes to open his hand. He then placed something in Cody’s hand.
Not only that, Johnson mentioned that Cody would not have to open his fist to know what it was. Finally, The Final Boss asked Rhodes not to break his heart ever again. With that, many have been wondering what The Rock could have possibly given to the Champion.
In that regard, several speculations have come into the spotlight. A few sources have reported that it might be something related to Cody’s father, Dusty Rhodes. On the other hand, according to other sources, it might be lighter. This is because not too long ago, Rhodes revealed that his tour bus had caught fire. It might have been The Rock’s doing, and thus, he handed over the lighter he used to Cody.
