Triple H set the stage for the new era of WWE by welcoming Cody Rhodes on RAW. During a lengthy promo, a major revelation unfolded as The Rock confirmed his departure from WWE for the time being.
Following his electrifying performance at WrestleMania 40, The Rock made a surprising appearance, engaging in an awkward “title exchange” with Cody Rhodes that prompted chants of “This is awkward” from the crowd.
Amidst the silence and reactions, The Rock officially declared his hiatus from WWE.
With The Rock stepping away, The Final Boss’s chapter comes to a temporary close.
Despite its brevity, his impactful portrayal marked one of his most memorable character portrayals since his “Hollywood Rock” persona over two decades ago.
