The wrestling world has been buzzing about the ending of this week’s Raw. During the closing moments of the show, The Rock demolished Cody Rhodes. Now, the Hollywood Star has broken his silence on the vicious beatdown with another bold statement for the Rhodes family.

Dwayne Johnson posted some glimpses of his brutal ambush on Cody Rhodes. In the caption, there was a message for the Rhodes family and the Royal Rumble winner himself. He implicitly accused Rhodes of being responsible for his own fall and beatdown on Raw. Furthermore, the Great One also teased that there is more to come for him in the future.

It was a stern message for the American Nightmare by the self-proclaimed ‘Final Boss’. During the attack, The Rock had no remorse for leaving Cody blood-drenched. He continued his ambush and even mentioned the mother and father of the 38-year-old. In essence, the Bloodline member was on a rampage to crush the dreams of the son of Dusty Rhodes.

Fans have their fingers crossed to see the condition of the American Nightmare thereafter. Besides, it was a blindsided attack that left Cody no choice but to try to fight back. It is going to be interesting to see what’s next in this ongoing saga at WWE. Fans are highly involved with this feud, even calling it a return of the Attitude Era in WWE.

The real reason behind The Rock calling himself ‘The Final Boss’

In the long list of The Rock’s monikers, another has been added recently. The Hollywood star has been referring himself to as ‘The Final Boss’ lately. Therefore, fans wonder the reason for the Brahma Bull to call himself by this new moniker.

The Brahma Bull became a member of the board at TKO sometime before returning to WWE. His new moniker, ‘The Final Boss’, is inspired by that. It allegedly means he has the final say in WWE storylines and the programs happening. Which means he has direct control over WWE. It also makes sense with the ongoing storyline between the Bloodline and Cody Rhodes, where The Rock has been using his powers.

This new moniker adds depth to the character of the People’s Champion. He is rumored to have a few matches down the line in 2024 as well. Fans are excited to see the future of ‘Final Boss’ in WWE. Also, there is speculation of a few returns as well in this ongoing storyline heading to WrestleMania.
