Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes has commented on his relationship with The Rock following the Raw Netflix debut.
Ahead of Cody Rhodes finishing the story at last year’s WrestleMania 40 show, he ended up getting into a heated rivalry with The Rock, including Rock bloodying Cody up in the parking lot during a beatdown on Raw.
On the Raw after WrestleMania, Rock and Cody teased a future encounter, with Rock telling Cody that their story was only beginning.
However, on the Raw Netflix premiere, fans were confused when Rock opened up the show, seemingly breaking his ‘Final Boss’ character, hugging Cody at ringside and drinking tequila with him backstage after the segment.
The segment drew a lot of criticism from fans, who believed that the story between Cody and Rock had been dropped, and Cody has now commented on the relationship between himself and The Rock.
Speaking to TheOneMona ahead of the Royal Rumble, Cody was asked about his relationship with The Rock, to which he said:
“I tell people always when it comes to The Rock and The Final Boss, I think personally that I feel he either sees something special in me and as the head of the board and as him and Nick Khan and Triple H leading us into this next generation, he sees something and wants to push me to go for it. That’s more from a behind-the-scenes perspective, but I also wonder in my own mind sometimes just kind of laying there looking up thinking maybe he hates me, absolutely hates me, and is planning some devious way to get back at me for the things that took place at WrestleMania 40, which he shouldn’t. I mean, the night before I won it all, he actually has a win over me.
“But I can tell you that I know people don’t love when the curtain gets pulled back too much. Really, really unique outside the box thinker and for a guy who’s been on every movie set, he’s been around the A list. He is A list. He’s walked into every room. I can look in someone’s eyes and know when they have the fever for wrestling when they’re a wrestler.I think we might hate each other, but we’re both wrestlers and I think that’s what the connection is about, it’s the idea that he knows if he puts me in a Macon, Georgia at a live event or somewhere around the country and I’m representing this company, which is also his company, that I won’t leave anybody hanging that I, that I will do my damnedest to deliver.
“So, yeah, but all that to say, I don’t know where we stand again. The dude could run up on me right now and pop me in the ear and we’d be right back in it, but I don’t know where we stand now. It’ll always be in question, but he’s certainly been helpful to me as champion.”
