Cody Rhodes is set to conclude the story by challenging Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship at WrestleMania 40.
However, The Rock unexpectedly entered the picture, securing a match with Reigns on the recent SmackDown episode.
This decision stirred fan discontent, addressed by WWE at a press conference in Las Vegas.
Now, Rhodes not only faces Reigns but also has a heated rivalry with Dwayne Johnson, who took offense to Rhodes’ comments about Reigns’ family.
The Rock’s slap has intensified the storyline, leaving fans intrigued as he potentially embraces a heel persona.
