This week on Raw, Cody Rhodes went off when he tried to bring down The Rock. He dropped major NSFW bombs, which fans didn’t expect coming. The American Nightmare went all out in the war of words, which was quite staggering in WWE. Now, the actual reason behind WWE allowing such words on TV has been revealed.

According to Wrestling Observer Radio, only Cody Rhodes was allowed to use such words. It was a necessary move by WWE for the American Nightmare to give a proper and appropriate answer to The Rock. Moreover, the report suggests that it was all after the fans’ response to The Brahma Bull doing the same thing in Memphis.

Moreover, he took a massive jab at the wrestling skills of the TKO board member as well. Furthermore, Rhodes looked more confident than ever in this bold promo as he vowed to dethrone Roman Reigns at WrestleMania.

On Rikishi Fatu Off The Top, the father of the Usos stated that he wanted to see Rhodes finish his story. He supported his statement by saying that it is long overdue and that it will benefit his family dynasty. However, it all depends on the timing when he is capturing the championship. He expressed that, at the moment, the Rock and Roman Reigns are bigger stars than him. Therefore, the title will remain on the shoulders of Reigns.

Do I want to see Cody finish the [story]? Hell yeah. On a personal level, yes. Yes. Deserves to. The legacy and his family dynasty, yes, it’s a must. But at the same time, timing is everything, man

Only time will tell if Cody finishes the story or not. Fans are all behind the youngest son of Dusty Rhodes as he marches his way against the Bloodline at WrestleMania. Besides, The Rock and the Bloodline are going to make sure that Rhodes is unsuccessful in capturing the gold. Therefore, the American Nightmare, along with his friend Seth Rollins, will go up against the Bloodline on Night 1 of WrestleMania.
