Cody Rhodes Slaps The Rock, WrestleMania 40 Tag Team Match Confirmed – The March 8th episode of WWE SmackDown witnessed a pivotal moment as Seth Rollins officially accepted the challenge laid out by The Rock on the previous week’s episode.
During the March 1st episode, The Rock issued a challenge to Seth Rollins and Cody Rhodes for a high-stakes tag team match at night one of WrestleMania 40. The match stipulation added an extra layer of intensity, with the outcome impacting the subsequent night’s main event. If The Rock and Roman Reigns emerged victorious, Reigns would face Rhodes under Bloodline rules on night two. Conversely, if Rhodes and Rollins won, the Bloodline would be barred from the night two bout.
Tonight, tensions escalated in the ring as The Rock, Roman Reigns, Cody Rhodes, and Rollins confronted each other. The Rock said that since he is a member of the TKO Board, Cody will not get another shot at the WWE Universal Championship if he loses to Reigns at night two of WrestleMania 40. He also said that he would do away with Seth’s World Heavyweight Championship. The Rock’s cutting remarks towards Rhodes, including calling him a “mistake” due to his age difference from his siblings, provoked a visceral response from Rhodes, culminating in a dramatic slap delivered to The Rock.
With the stage set for an electrifying showdown at WrestleMania 40, anticipation mounts as these fierce rivals prepare to clash in a battle that promises to reshape the landscape of WWE.
