Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes comments on the rumors surrounding The Rock and WWE WrestleMania 41.
The Rock previously teased coming back for Cody Rhodes when he wrapped up his return run on the RAW after WrestleMania in April. He then stared down Rhodes and Roman Reigns at the end of WWE Bad Blood. He has not appeared on WWE programming since.
Speaking with Adrian Hernandez of Unlikely at ComplexCon, Cody Rhodes was asked about the rumors that The Rock would not be part of WWE WrestleMania 41. Rhodes highlighted The Rock’s importance to WWE as a whole.
“I mean, I don’t mean this in a smart aleck type way. But Rock is the director of the board,” Cody Rhodes said. “The man that is the Final Boss, Dwayne Johnson, is different from the Final Boss, and his outside-the-box thinking with Nick Khan and Triple H is part of WWE’s record era, part of this WWE Netflix era. So whether he’s in the ring or he’s not, he very much is still very involved with what happens at 41.
“I know when he comes back, I know who he’ll come looking for. I know what to expect. But what I can say about WrestleMania 41 is keep the rumors going, keep them churning, enjoy the discourse. But I think what you will get will surprise you all.”
