The road to WrestleMania 40 was full of twists and turns and The Rock shook things up in a major way when he returned to WWE. Ultimately The Rock aligned himself with Roman Reigns and he teamed up with The Tribal Chief to defeat Seth Rollins and Cody Rhodes in the night one main event.
Cody then went on to finish the story when he defeated Roman Reigns in the night two main event to win the Undisputed WWE Championship for the first time in his career. On the following episode of Monday Night Raw, a Rock vs. Cody Rhodes match was heavily teased, but as of this writing the match still has not happened.
During a recent appearance on Insight with Chris Van Vliet, Cody Rhodes was asked if he was supposed to have a one on one match with The Rock, and he noted that he believes The Final Boss still has some gas left in the tank.
“Oof. It’s not that I’m evading that answer. It’s that I don’t really know how to answer because I think personally he has a couple of matches probably left to do. I think that personally, but I also know looking at WrestleMania 40 and another guy who he’s given all, continues to give all as part of the board. He could easily say that was a great final piece as a performer in a wrestling ring.
That’ll be up to him. That’ll certainly be up to him if there’s more and what those matches might be. I don’t think any wrestler would ever look you in the eye and tell you they wouldn’t want a match like that.”
The Rock last appeared on WWE programming last year when he attempted to get Cody Rhodes to sell his soul at the Elimination Chamber premium live event. Cody declined the offer which led to John Cena turning heel and The Rock beating down The American Nightmare alongside Cena and Travis Scott.
