The Rock Releases Lengthy Promo on Cody Rhodes & Seth Rollins on Social Media

Mar 1, 2024

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson released a lengthy video on Twitter earlier today featuring him giving a 21-minute promo directed towards Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins over their recent issues and comments about him.

The Rock first addressed his issues with Rhodes’ “Cody’s crybabies” fans over them still being upset at him despite Rhodes getting his WrestleMania rematch with Roman Reigns back.

“It has been that kind of week. And to quote the legend, one of The Rock’s heroes, what’s causing all of this? Woo. It’s been that kind of exciting week. Pro Wrestling is exciting once again. It’s been decades. Pro Wrestling is cool once again. It’s been decades. Pro Wrestling is undeniably exciting once again. It’s unpredictable. It’s disruptive. Because of one man, and that is The Rock. Because The Rock came into Pro Wrestling.
Pro wrestling came back to pro wrestling, a business that The Rock loves, an industry that The Rock was born into, took professional wrestling, turned it on its head, disrupted the shit out of it, and it will never ever be the same again. And it feels good. It feels so damn good. And whether you like The Rock or you don’t like The Rock, it doesn’t matter.
Because it feels good. Pro Wrestling is back on top and it feels good. It feels good. But you know what? You know what? Here’s the thing. You know what doesn’t feel good? Well, the rock will tell you what doesn’t feel good. What doesn’t feel good is all the bullshit that the rock has got to deal with all the bullshit that the people’s champion has got to deal with.
All the Cody crybabies out there still running their mouths. That the rock has got to deal with all the jab brownies in the locker room, still running their maily mouse that the rock has still got to deal with. Cody Cry Babies. Take a look.”

During his promo, The Rock talked about the agreement he had in place with Rhodes for him to face off against Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 40 since that would be best for business and how everything went according to plan until Rhodes decided to mess things up at the WrestleMania 40 press event. The Rock stated that while he accepts that Rhodes has the right to challenge Reigns, he did not like the way Rhodes did it by keeping his announcement as a big secret from everyone and talking trash about his family.

“But what happened? The Rock called Cody Rhodes, had a conversation. But it was a conversation that a few have had with Cody Rhodes before. Because Cody knew the biggest match of all time was looming. The Rock talked to Cody. Said, ‘Cody, you know you love this business, The Rock loves this business, you were born into this business, The Rock was born into this business, Roman Reigns was born into this business. The three of us, born into this business. You know Cody, you’ve got the biggest WrestleMania main event of all time right here. You have an opportunity to bring this business up to places it’s never been before. You can always, with all due respect, finish your story another time. You agreed. You agreed. ‘Rock, it stings, but I agree. It stings, but I’m a team player. It stings, but I want what’s best for the business.’ Good man. Good man.
And then what happened in Birmingham, Alabama? A city we selected because of its rich history and we knew we were going to make history. It was your job, Cody, to introduce The Rock, thus setting up the biggest main event of all time. And what did you do? You did exactly what we agreed on. Brother, you introduced The Rock and that place went crazy. And The Rock came out, and he dapped you up, he pulled you in and gave you a big hug. And I whispered something in your ear. ‘Let’s put on the biggest WrestleMania of all time. Let’s do it for the American Dream. Let’s do it for the Soul Man.’ And I gave you a hug. You hugged The Rock back. And what did you do, Cody? You walked out of that ring on live TV and you turned back and you looked at The Rock. And instead of looking at The Rock saying, ‘Yeah, go get him. Let’s make history.’ Instead of that, what’d you do? You gave The Rock a look. And it’s the same look you gave the world, like The Rock went out and ran over your goofy ass dog. That’s the look you gave. Like The Rock ran over your goofy ass dog.
Then sometime from that moment on, until Las Vegas, you changed your mind. You know what? That’s no problem. You can change your mind, you have that right. And The Rock accepts that. Everybody has a right to change their mind. The Rock accepts it. You changed your mind. But here’s what The Rock doesn’t accept – is how you did it.”

The Rock also gave his thoughts about Seth Rollins getting involved in The Bloodline’s business with Rhodes and the negative comments Rollins has said about him of late.

“The Rock is your boss, which means Seth Rollins, if you keep running your mouth and sticking your nose in The Bloodline’s business, then that World title that you have around your waist, very soon The Rock will make that title go to somebody else. Read between the lines. Yes, The Rock just blurred it.
Keep running your mouth, sticking your nose in The Bloodline’s business. This is between The Rock, it is between Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes. That’s it. Stick your nose where it doesn’t belong. The Rock guaran-damn-tees you, and The Rock has built a career on doing everything he has said he’s going to do, The Rock guaran-damn-tees [if] you stick your nose in our business, that World title that you have around your waist will go to somebody else. It will go to somebody else. And there’s two things you can do about it, Seth: Nothing and like it. You keep sticking your nose in our business, The Rock and Roman Reigns are going to beat your goofy ass right back to the circus with the rest of the clowns.”

The Rock also responded to Rhodes’ quest to “finish the story” at WrestleMania.
