The drama in WWE has never cooled, but this time, all eyes are focusing on Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson after the controversial return to SmackDown on February 21. The Hollywood star, who now wears a provocative role, warmed the floor with a declaration that made the entire fans stop. But what really makes people shake is not the announcement of Wrestlemania 42 in New Orleans, but what revealed on Cody Rhodes – today the most loved champion.

In the tense promotion, the rock opened about a mysterious “refusal” relating to Cody. “He thought he was the hero of the crowd, but he refused what we all knew was fate,” said the cold rock, accompanied by a typical smile halfway through. This word immediately raised a series of questions: what did Cody refused? And why is the rock determined to transform it into the largest dramatic focus now?

Some sources in the backstage whispered that Cody Rhodes, which is built to face big names such as Cm Punk or Seth Rollins in Wrestlemania 41, rejected a script relating to the rock. WWE’s leadership is said to want Cody to give rock spotlight in a large game in the next elimination chamber, but “American Nightmare” did not agree. Reason? Cody seemed to want to protect his journey, not to allow anyone, including a legend like The Rock, he robbed the opportunity to affirm his position.

But the drama did not stop there. Some fans on social networks also further pushed history, assuming that Cody refused because it did not want to be captured by the great shadow of rock, which was both a wrestler and a member of the group of Holdings directors. This is even more interesting to remember that Cody once left WWE in 2016 to build its name, and now has no intention of letting someone check its story again.

In the meantime, the rock did not hide its interest in arousing everything. He continued to “pour oil into the fire” by publishing a short tweet after Smackdown: “Cody can run, but he cannot escape. The truth will soon show.” Immediately, the hashtag #Rockvcody exploded on X, with the fans divided into two sides: one part supported the rock “taught” Cody, the other part defended the champion’s decision.

So what is the real secret? Will Cody refuse because of his pride or what is darker is hidden? Some people within the WWE have revealed that this comparison is not only a scenario on the screen, but also reflects the real tension between the two stars towards the direction of the company. As the elimination chamber approaches and the rock confirmed that it would seem, everything could explode beyond the imagination.

The correct answer is still unknown, but one thing is certain: this drama is making the WWE warmer than ever. What do you think of Cody’s refusal? And the rock holds a secret card to change everything? Follow so as not to lose the next development of this dramatic story!
