The Rock & Cody Rhodes Segment Branded Strange By WWE Legend
The Rock wants to take Cody Rhodes’ soul and one former WWE Champion has joined a legion of fans in thinking that’s a bit strange.
The Rock made a splash when he returned to WWE SmackDown with a message for Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes. The Final Boss suggested he didn’t want Rhodes’ title but rather wanted his soul. A perplexed American Nightmare was then told he’ll have to an answer for The Rock at Elimination Chamber on March 1.
After speculation about The Rock finally clashing with Cody Rhodes in a match, that now seems to be further away than ever with many fans speculating just what on earth could be in the works. And it’s even thrown a WWE Hall of Famer.
The Rock & Cody Rhodes Uncomfortable In WWE Ring
Speaking on Something To Wrestle, former WWE Champion JBL explained that he thought The Rock’s confrontation with Cody Rhodes was strange, but that was perhaps part of the plan:
I thought it was strange, and I thought it was probably supposed to be strange. Sometimes, you do stuff that you don’t have a finish to. That’s why you call it episodic television, and I thought that’s what that was. I have no idea what ‘I’m gonna take your soul’ [meant], I don’t think anybody else does.
I thought it was incredibly well done. It looked uncomfortable, and I think that’s how it was supposed to look. I thought it was incredibly well done.
By the way, you got the biggest movie star in the last 20 years coming back to WWE. There’s no downside to this. A lot of people have always gotten mad about guys coming back, mad about the Warrior coming back, about Sid coming back, about Hogan coming back, about The Rock coming back.
Look, if you’re big enough, you don’t need ‘em. But there ain’t nobody bigger than that man, and so it’s always great to someone like that come back because it really does help the show.
As things stand, Cody Rhodes is scheduled to face the winner of the Elimination Chamber match at WrestleMania 41 for the Undisputed WWE Title. But with The Rock involved, plans could be subject to change.
