The Rock reaches out to a fan to buy a special gift for Cody Rhodes’ mother

The Rock and Cody Rhodes are set to face off at WrestleMania XL, creating an intriguing clash. On two occasions, The Great One dominated The American Nightmare and even went as far as to surprise Rhodes’ mother with a piece of fan art he saw on social media.

The highly anticipated Night One of WrestleMania will feature a tag team match between The Rock and Cody Rhodes. The Brahma Bull will join forces with Roman Reigns to face off against the team of Rhodes and Seth Rollins. The result of this match will have significant consequences for the main event on Night Two of The Show of Shows.

Last week on SmackDown, The Final Boss brutally attacked The American Nightmare in an intense brawl that spanned the entire arena. Rhodes was left bloodied by The Great One, who appeared to relish every moment of the attack. A fan of the WWE Universe shared a piece of art on X that depicted the incident. The Great One saw the post and made a promise to purchase the artwork for Rhodes’ mother.

The reason behind The Rock’s decision to face Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania

Earlier this year, the ex-AEW wrestler emerged victorious in the 30-man Royal Rumble Match and made it clear that he wanted to face Roman Reigns at WrestleMania XL. However, on a recent episode of SmackDown following the highly anticipated live event, Cody Rhodes appeared to relinquish his spot in the main event to The Rock, leading to a tense face-off between the two with The Tribal Chief.

Despite facing immediate backlash from the WWE Universe, the creative team ultimately had to stick to their original plans. At the WrestleMania XL Kickoff Press Conference, Rhodes revealed that he would still be challenging Roman at The Showcase of The Immortals.

During his confrontation with Roman Reigns, Cody Rhodes insulted the latter’s family, angering The Great One. The Hollywood actor then initiated the feud by slapping the two-time Men’s Royal Rumble winner. In the process, The Final Boss turned to the dark side and aligned himself with The Bloodline, recognizing Roman Reigns as the leader of the group.

A week later, The Rock issued a challenge to Cody and Seth Rollins for a tag team match at WrestleMania XL. The challenge was quickly accepted by The Visionary and The American Nightmare. In the weeks following, The Final Boss has been relentless in his promos against Cody Rhodes and even targeted Rhodes’ mother. The former champion has gone to extreme lengths in the past two weeks, launching a brutal attack on Rhodes. The upcoming tag team match promises to be an intense showdown between these rival teams.
