Cody Rhodes wasted no time in addressing the challenge laid down by The Rock on last week’s SmackDown during the opening moments of WWE RAW this week. The American Nightmare made a bold statement by kicking off the March 4, 2024 Monday Night RAW episode in San Antonio, setting the stage for what promises to be an explosive showdown at WrestleMania Night 1.
Following The Rock’s verbal onslaught last week, where he not only refused Rhodes’ offer of a one-on-one match but also proposed a tag team match pitting him and Roman Reigns against Rhodes and his ally, Seth Rollins, tensions have reached a boiling point.
Rhodes, acknowledging the events of the past week, including The Rock’s scathing remarks and rejection of a singles match, wasted no time in getting down to business. He called out Rollins, the man tagged by The Rock as his partner for the WrestleMania clash, and gave him the option to focus solely on his title match or join forces to take down The Bloodline.
Rollins, however, made it clear that his priority was to dismantle The Bloodline, putting aside his title aspirations for the greater goal. With both Rhodes and Rollins aligned in their mission, the stage is set for an epic confrontation with The Rock and Reigns.
Not content with just words, Rhodes fired back at The Rock, even coming up with new nicknames for the People’s Champion. He also announced that he is fully medically cleared from his knee injury, ready to step into the ring and confront The Bloodline head-on.
With tensions escalating and battle lines drawn, Rhodes and Rollins are prepared to take their fight to SmackDown to confront The Rock and Reigns directly. The WWE Universe is buzzing with anticipation for what promises to be a showdown of epic proportions.
