The Rock posted a lengthy video on Social Media explaining his Road to WrestleMania 40.
Rock said Roman Reigns specifically called himself “The Head of the Table” in 2020 so it would result in The Tribal Chief vs. The Great One in the future at WrestleMania.
On the January 1st edition of RAW, Rock returned and teased facing Reigns at WrestleMania 40. After Cody Rhodes won the 2024 Men’s Royal Rumble match, Rock revealed he had a conversation with Cody and explained how he should be the one to face Reigns at WrestleMania, as Rock vs. Reigns is the biggest money match possible and will take the wrestling business to new heights.
Cody agreed and decided to let Rock face Reigns by saying the following:
“Rock, it stings, but I agree. It stings, but I’m a team player. It stings, but I want what’s best for the business.”
The Rock said Cody could finish his story at a later date with all due respect, but Rock vs. Reigns needs to happen, and they need to do it for Dusty Rhodes and for Rocky Johnson.
The People’s Champion then addressed the SmackDown segment on February 2, when Cody introduced Rock as Roman’s WrestleMania XL opponent.
Rock said Cody made a face during that segment as if he ran over his “goofy a$$ dog”.
Cody met Rock backstage at the WrestleMania Kickoff Press Conference in Las Vegas, but didn’t tell him anything about changing his mind, and then turned his back on The Rock after Rock laid out the entire plan and showed The Bloodline’s family tree.
The Rock said he doesn’t regret slapping Cody for disrespecting his family and will do it again.
