‘Spitting Fire’ has been an understatement for the insults the Rock has spewed upon Cody Rhodes and his family. The Brahma Bull has made things personal against the American Nightmare in this latest chapter of the Bloodline Saga. The People’s Champion didn’t even hesitate to drag Rhodes’ mother into their feud. Many fans believed The Rock crossed an unsaid line when he involved the Royal Rumble winner’s mother in their business.

On SmackDown, The Rock issued a stern warning to Rhodes’ mother, Michelle Rubio. He stated that her son had made it personal with him. The cranked-up Brahma Bull further claimed that he would deliver a belt with the blood of her son Cody Rhodes to her soon. Moreover, the wrestler-turned-actor added that Rubio’s son is going to pay for his actions.

All of this went down after the Royal Rumble winner audaciously slapped the Great One on SmackDown. They have been at loggerheads ever since The Rock returned to the WWE. After being at odds, The Rock and Rhodes will be against each other at WrestleMania, where they will team up with Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins, respectively, for the biggest tag team match in WrestleMania history.

Michael Cole interviewed a positive Rhodes heading to WrestleMania. While describing the importance of the match, Cody was overcome with emotion as he said that it was unfortunate that he would not be able to give the WWE title to Dusty Rhodes after winning. However, he can give it to his mother, who is the only person he has.

My mother. She is the only one I got left. And I can't hand it to Dusty Rhodes, but I certainly can hand it to Michelle Rubio.
