The Rock continues to turn up the heat on his heel run in WWE following last week’s WrestleMania 40 press conference.
Press conference
This is where Cody Rhodes announced he would challenge Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Title at WrestleMania 40, a change from expectation as it was widely believed WWE would announce The Rock vs. Reigns at the event instead.
On the flip side, Rhodes had been expected to challenge World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins. Rock previously mocked fans of Rhodes as “Cody Crybabies,” a response to the backlash to Rock taking Rhodes’ spot. After being insulted by Rhodes, Rock slapped Cody.
On notice
As previously reported, Rock is expected to draw inspiration from his past ‘Hollywood’ Rock persona. WWE will also release Rock branded ‘Cody Crybabies’ merchandise.
Ahead of his appearance on Friday’s SmackDown, The Rock wrote the following on Instagram:
“Hear the rumble. Hear the rumble. Run for dem life, when we step into the jungle. You fucked around and found out quick, didn’t you boy? You, your little friends and all your crybabies have no idea what’s coming. The world’s on notice.~ People’s Champ + Tribal Chief.”
