Dwayne Johnson has kept his promise to Mama Rhodes! The WWE legend is set to return to the ring on night 1 of WrestleMania 40, where he will take on Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins in a tag team match alongside his cousin Roman Reigns. However, The Rock was supposed to have a dream match against Roman for the Universal title at this year’s Mania. Unfortunately for him, Cody fans revolted and the plans had to be altered.
It gave WWE the chance to do something creative and present the fans with something that they never thought they would see again. The company turned Dwayne Johnson heel and the results so far have been spectacular! Since slapping Cody during the WrestleMania 40 press conference, the 51-year-old has cut some amazing promos. During his ‘Rock Concert’ in Memphis, DJ also showed the sinister side of his character as she addressed Rhodes’ mother.
The ‘Fast and Furious’ star promised Michelle Rubio, Cody Rhodes’s mother, that he would make her son bleed. It looks like The Rock has kept his promise and then some! On the March 25 edition of Monday Night Raw, Johnson unleashed his savage side and handed Rhodes a vicious beating. The incident took place after the main event between Shinsuke Nakamura and Jey Uso, where Rhodes came down to shield Jey from The Bloodline.
“This is what happens when you F*** WITH THE FINAL BOSS!”

It was the ideal opportunity for The Rock to catch “The American Nightmare” off-guard. While Rhodes was brawling with Jimmy Uso backstage, Johnson attacked Rhodes from behind. He repeatedly smashed Rhodes’ head into trashcans and other objects lying around. Although it is unclear whether the cut on Rhodes’ forehead was a result of the assault or blading, the former AEW star started bleeding profusely.
Cody Rhodes’ brother Dustin Rhodes breaks silence after the brutal assault from Dwayne Johnson
While ‘Mama Rhodes’ has not commented despite several taunts from Dwayne Johnson, Cody’s brother has not kept silent on the feud. And, it is none other than future WWE Hall of Famer, Goldust aka Dustin Rhodes. Outside of fans and on-screen characters, Dustin has been the biggest cheerleader for his brother Cody. They have a rich history together both in WWE and AEW.
Hence, the 54-year-old lashed out at The Rock after the brutal assault. Taking to his X (formerly Twitter) account, Rhodes wrote, “You son of a b*tch.”
You son of a bitch

Unfortunately for the fans, Dustin is currently under a contract with AEW. So fans should not expect him to make a heroic appearance at WrestleMania 40 to save his brother. Now, the question is what did you think of the closing segment of Monday Night Raw? Let us know in the comment below.
