At the WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2024 ceremony, emotions ran high as The Rock paid tribute to his late grandmother, Lia Maivia, whom he posthumously inducted.
Amidst heartfelt reflections, The People’s Champion also took a moment to address upcoming WrestleMania rivalries, notably targeting Cody Rhodes.
Set to make a momentous return to the ring at WrestleMania XL, The Rock revealed plans for a tag team showdown on Night One, where he’ll partner with Roman Reigns against Rhodes and Seth Rollins.
This marks a significant comeback for the former WWE Champion, his first match since WrestleMania 32.
During his poignant speech, The Rock expressed respect for the late Dusty Rhodes and Cody’s mother, Michelle Rubio, yet hinted at personal animosity brewing for WrestleMania XL. His remarks sparked a response from Brandi, expressing her stance unequivocally.
“I don’t stand for folks I don’t respect,”
Brandi tweeted, hinting at underlying tensions.
As anticipation builds for the blockbuster tag team match, wrestling enthusiasts ponder potential twists and turns at WrestleMania XL’s Night One spectacle.
Meanwhile, wrestling veteran Dutch Mantell stirred excitement by proposing a nostalgic reunion between The Rock and WWE Hall of Famer Stone Cold Steve Austin.
Reflecting on their historic rivalry during the Attitude Era, Mantell suggested a simple yet powerful encounter that could “break the internet.”
Speculation further mounts as The Rock gears up for Night One, aiming to secure victory for The Bloodline.
This sets the stage for a dramatic escalation on Night Two, as Cody Rhodes faces Roman Reigns under “Bloodline Rules” for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship—a rematch from the previous year’s WrestleMania, laden with heightened stakes and personal vendettas.
