If the recent reports are correct, a great fight that was rumored that The Rock would have in WWE will no longer happen. In recent months, the final boss was expected to have a dream confrontation with Cody Rhodes in Wrestlemania 41 of this year, although that no longer seems to be the case.
The Hollywood superstar appeared in Raw's Netflix debut this week, where he left aside his final chief character. He hugged Cody Rhodes live, leaving fans confused about the plans WWE had for him as we approached 'Mania 41. In addition, The Rock gave Roman Reigns the ULA Fala after he defeated only Sikoa, discarding a possible combat between the cousins.
In the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer NewsletterDave Meltzer reported that WWE no longer plans that The Brahma Bull in front of Cody Rhodes in Wrestlemania 41. However, no reason why the Stamford -based promotion ruled out the plans for the spectacular encounter was mentioned.
For those who do not know, The Rock had suggested to face WWE's undisputed champion in the future during the episode after RAW.
Stevie Richards was not impressed with The Rock's gesture to Cody Rhodes in RAW
In a recent podcast episode The Stevie Richardsthe former WWEluccador expressed his dissatisfaction to see Cody sitting among the public during the segment of the final boss. Richards said that it made no sense for a star of The American Nightmare to be among fans during a promo.
“It seemed that The Rock was fulfilling a sick child live in Raw. (…) I think that any member of the main cast should not be sitting among the public, unless Cody was there all night, which could also be a distraction for the fighting. But they had it there, then they moved it to the rear empty seats once again, as you said, so that his music sounded. It seemed a segment mounted. “
It is still about to be seen if WWE has plans for The Rock in Wrestlemania 41 or if his commitments as an actor will prevent him from participating in the event.
