The Rock is riding off into the sunset for now, but he issues a warning to Cody Rhodes and the WWE roster.
“The Final Boss” has made it clear that he has his sights set on Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes. Though he is stepping away from WWE programming for the time being, he has said that he is coming for Rhodes when he comes back.
On April 19, The Rock took to social media and sent Cody Rhodes yet another message. He also issued a warning to the WWE roster.
“I love taking out the trash in the rain. I’m gonna bleed you boy. The hard way. For life. As the Final Boss rides off into the sunset You and all the @WWE talent and executives remember this…
“It didn’t have to be this way But now it’s the only way. Don’t f*ck with the Final Boss. Because the Final Boss always has the FINAL SAY. Do not go gentle into that good night.”
As of this writing, there is no word on when The Rock will return to WWE programming. He recently said that WrestleMania 40 was just chapter one one “Final Boss Cinema.”
Triple H On The Rock’s Return
WWE Chief Content Officer Triple H says that The Rock’s return will be a “hell of a ride.” Speaking with the Sports Business Journal, he discussed working with The Rock and looked forward to the future.
“I can only imagine what’s next for The Rock. He’s got his hands in just about everything. We were thrilled to have The Rock being involved. When you can have the biggest star on the globe, arguably, want to be a part of what we do and in a meaningful way, and want to do it in a way where he’s just like, ‘Hey, I’ll come in, tell me what to do and I’ll go do this’. All of his resources. All of his brainpower, all of his creativity, all of those things.”
“His branding, everything. I want to invest in this and make it this amazing ride for our fans. it doesn’t get any better than that. So, his coming in, just across the board, if you would have told us at the beginning of the conversations that we’d get ‘The Final Boss’ heel version of The Rock, I’d have said you’re crazy. That’s his level of commitment. He goes off, makes a few movies now. But as he said a few weeks ago, he’ll be back. It’ll be a hell of a ride when he comes back.”
