This week’s SmackDown saw some explosive moments heading to WrestleMania. The Rock returned to the show with some rants against Cody Rhodes. He, along with the Bloodline, kicked off the show and went on to challenge The American Nightmare. After the show went off air, Rhodes was involved in a dark match where he addressed the crowd.

Rhodes took to the microphone to address the crowd. He asked his cousin, sitting at the ringside, if The Rock was in the ring earlier or not. The American Nightmare took a subtle shot at the People’s Champion, who compared the WWE Universe to meth and cocaine. The Royal Rumble winner hilariously exaggerated the statement and told his cousin not to say stuff like that.

Although Cody didn’t mention anything regarding the challenge laid out by The Brahma Bull, The American Nightmare is all set to appear live on SmackDown next week. It is going to be interesting to see the response of the 38-year-old regarding the counteroffer of The Great One. Moreover, Rhodes hilariously took some shots at The Rock after SmackDown went off air, which was a delight to see for the fans.

Furthermore, The American Nightmare has been on a path to destroy the Bloodline. Although he was not present live on the show, it is going to be interesting to see where the future of Cody is headed after an ultimatum by The Rock. Only time will tell if he accepts the challenge or not at WrestleMania.

Cody Rhodes gave a nonchalant response to The Rock’s rant

The heat between The Rock and Cody Rhodes is touching an all-time high. The two stars are involved in a boiling feud. Recently, The Great One posted a video on his social media account where he was ranting about the story of The American Nightmare. The Brahma Bull went personal on this one as he mentioned Rhodes’ dog and even cussed him as well.

The Royal Rumble winner posted a nonchalant response on his X account. He posted a picture with some text, giving off an unconcerned energy. It said that he is not watching the 20-minute video, although he is happy for anything or sorry if anything happened concerning The Rock. Evidently, The American Nightmare took his trolling game to the next level with this one.

The Hollywood Star tried to get under the skin of The American Nightmare. However, it looks like he was quite unsuccessful in his attempts to do so. It is going to be interesting to see how things will go for the two stars from here on out in this highly personal rivalry.
