The Rock made his WWE return tonight on SmackDown, confronting Cody Rhodes ahead of WrestleMania. The Great One shocked the world by extending a hand to join forces with The American Nightmare—posing an intriguing question and an even more compelling desire to take Rhodes’ soul.
The Final Boss expressed his admiration for The American Nightmare’s reign as champion. However, he expressed a desire to see Rhodes ascend—not just as WWE Champion, but as “his champion.” It was a proposal for Cody to become a corporate champion rather than the people’s champion. The 39-year-old stood stunned, struggling to grasp the weight of the offer.
The Brahma Bull assured the Undisputed WWE Champion that accepting his offer would elevate him to a level where his family’s future would be secured forever. While Cody Rhodes didn’t immediately give in, the temptation was evident on his face. Sensing his hesitation, The Rock gave The American Nightmare until Elimination Chamber to make his final decision.
