WWE Censored a Key Moment in The Rock’s Attack on Cody Rhodes – Monday’s episode of WWE RAW featured a memorable opening segment with Cody Rhodes delivering an in-ring promo, followed by a surprise appearance from The Rock. After exchanging words with Rhodes, The Rock whispered something to him before departing, leaving Rhodes visibly puzzled.
Later in the show, chaos ensued as Jimmy Uso initiated a brawl with Rhodes, leading to Solo Sikoa and The Rock joining the fray. The Rock proceeded to brutally assault Rhodes, dragging him throughout the arena and ultimately slamming him against a tour bus. Rhodes emerged from the altercation with a forehead laceration, resulting in bloodshed.
In a shocking turn of events, The Rock used his weight-lifting belt to smear Rhodes’ blood onto it, referencing a promise made to Mama Rhodes. This violent encounter set the stage for the highly anticipated WrestleMania 40 – Night 1 headliner, where The Rock and Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns will face Rhodes and World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins.
While WWE uploaded the attack to YouTube, they opted to censor certain segments of the footage, particularly moments where Rhodes sustained headshots with a trash can. This decision aligns with WWE’s longstanding policy against chair shots and headshots with weapons, reflecting their commitment to athlete safety.
