SUMMARY
- Previously, Dwayne Johnson slapped Cody Rhodes in the face.
- Recently, The Rock took to his social media account to talk about Cody Rhodes and his dog.
Everyone assumed Cody Rhodes would select Roman Reigns as his WrestleMania 40 opponent after winning the 2024 Royal Rumble. However, things took a surprising turn when Dwayne Johnson unexpectedly returned to WWE on the February 2 episode of SmackDown, replacing Cody. People were startled throughout the world when The Rock performed the unthinkable.
However, Rhodes gave Dwayne an embrace before leaving the ring to allow Johnson and The Tribal Chief to confront one another. The WWE community was incensed when the Hollywood actor replaced Cody in the main event match and launched a social media campaign against it. Their chanting filled venues, which is perhaps why the WWE had to reconsider its original strategy.

A frustrated Rock took it to X to wash out his frustration on Rhodes and weirdly talked about his dog. While talking about his appearance on SmackDown and interrupting Cody’s challenge, Rock recited the whole segment. During its conclusion, Rock stated how Rhodes gave him a look as he ran over his pet dog. Cody’s pet dog, Pharaoh, is deeply close to him.
“You gave The Rock a look, and it’s the same look you gave the world. Like The Rock went out and ran over your goofy a** dog,” said the People’s Champion. Rock was furious while delivering these lines, which made him say it again with more intensity. He further talked about how things took a turn at the WrestleMania Press Event, where Rhodes insulted Rock’s family.
The Brahma Bull also stated how he insulted the American Nightmare in front of the world after slapping him. Rock also called Seth Rollins his best friend, saying he should stay out of the whole scene. During the 21-minute 40-second message, Rock promised to demolish Rhodes and his dreams at the main event, WrestleMania.
