Rock then said Dusty Rhodes talked about Hard Times, but Dusty didn’t face hard times. However, The Final Boss is gonna make sure Cody faces Hard Times at WrestleMania 40.
Dustin Rhodes tweeted the following after the show:
“You son of a b*tch”
Cody’s wife Brandi Rhodes tweeted:
“He better keep his security detail tight at Mania. That’s all.”
Cody’s sister Teil Rhodes wrote:
“The Rhodes are the blood and bones of American pro wrestling. Rock just made his worst mistake.”
After the show went off the air, WWE posted The Rock’s attack on Cody on YouTube, but surprisingly, the segment was edited, although not for the blood. Instead, WWE chose to freeze-frame the shots where Rhodes was hit in the head with a trash can.
This was done because WWE doesn’t allow wrestlers to hit each other in the head with weapons due to concussion issues, but The Rock and Cody are allowed to do a lot of banned things to make their feud feel special.
