Cody Rhodes still doesn’t know where he stands with The Rock, getting mixed messages from “The People’s Champion”.
The two stars have had a mixed relationship over the past year alone. The pair faced off in tag team action at WrestleMania 40, following weeks of The Rock attacking Cody Rhodes. However, they appeared to wipe the slate clean on Raw’s debut on Netflix, as they even shared tequila backstage following the show.
Cody Rhodes recently spoke with Theonemona and spoke about his current relationship with The Rock. Rhodes noted that he doesn’t really know where they stand with each other.
Cody Rhodes On His Relationship With The Rock
“I tell people this all the time—when it comes to The Rock and the ‘Final Boss,’ I think personally that he either sees something special in me. As the head of the board, along with 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 lying 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, but he actually has a win over me.
“I can tell you that, you know, I know people don’t love when the curtain gets pulled back too much, but he’s a really, really unique, outside-the-box thinker. For a guy who’s been on every movie set, who’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.
“And I think we might hate each other, but we’re both wrestlers. And I think that’s what the connection is about—the idea that he knows if he puts me in 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’ll do my damndest to deliver.
“So yeah… but all that to say, I don’t know where we stand. The dude could run up on me right now and pop me in the ear!”
