In a recent development, WWE has set the stage for The Rock’s future following a dramatic press event at WrestleMania 40’s Kickoff in Las Vegas. Cody Rhodes, having won the Royal Rumble, chose Roman Reigns as his opponent for WrestleMania 40. His comments about Reigns’ family led to a tense moment with The Rock, who took offense as it involved his own ancestors, prompting him to slap Rhodes across the face.
The buzz around The Rock’s next moves in WWE is growing, with reports from WrestleVotes indicating that he will fully embrace a heel character on WWE television. Drawing from his time as the infamous ‘Hollywood’ Rock, The Rock’s storyline is said to be just beginning. Fans can also expect new merchandise, specifically ‘Cody Crybabies’ themed items, as part of this developing narrative.
In another revelation, former WWE writer Vince Russo claimed that The Rock bypassed Triple H to secure a match with Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 40. On the Legion of RAW show, Russo speculated that The Rock might have collaborated with Ari Emanuel to book himself in the main event, suggesting that Triple H would have likely done the same in that position. Russo emphasized the cutthroat nature of the wrestling business, where backstabbing for money and power is commonplace, highlighting that this time The Rock managed to outmaneuver Triple H.
As anticipation builds for this year’s WrestleMania in Philadelphia, fans are eager to see what WWE has in store for The Rock at the grand event in April. The WrestleMania Kickoff press conference has already set a high bar for excitement, and the WWE universe is abuzz with opinions and predictions for what’s to come. Meanwhile, in other news, a WWE Superstar reportedly asked for his release before ultimately being let go from the company.
The WWE landscape continues to evolve with storylines and behind-the-scenes maneuvers that keep fans engaged and guessing. As the road to WrestleMania 40 unfolds, the spotlight on The Rock and his potential heel turn adds another layer of intrigue to WWE’s showcase event. With the promise of new merchandise and the unfolding of The Rock’s storyline, the stage is set for an explosive wrestling season.
