Cody Rhodes was determined to get in The Rock’s face on Friday Night SmackDown this week and that’s exactly what happened as he ended up slapping The Great One on the show. Following the conclusion of the show, Rhodes has now reacted to the slap.
As seen on this week’s episode of SmackDown, a long-awaited face-off took place between The Rock, Roman Reigns, Cody Rhodes, and Seth Rollins since the WrestleMania 40 kick-off press event. Following weeks of verbal sparring on WWE programming and social media, the dramatic meeting unfolded.
The scene was compelling as Cody and Seth navigated through the WWE Universe to join Rock and Roman in the ring. Cody quickly addressed the situation, but The Rock intervened, reflecting on the challenge’s stipulations. Seth Rollins joined the conversation, claiming The Rock’s prime had passed but accepting the WrestleMania Night 1 match.
The People’s Champion remained unshaken, asserting his authority and delivering personal attacks on Cody Rhodes, referring to him as a family mistake due to a 20-year age gap among Rhodes’ siblings. Fed up, Rhodes emulated The Rock by slapping the global superstar across the face as SmackDown concluded. The slap was revenge for what The Rock did to him at the WrestleMania 40 kick-off press event.
The American Nightmare took to Twitter and reacted to him slapping The Rock as he simply uploaded a photo of the slap while tagging WWE for good measure.
