In the buildup to WWE WrestleMania 40, a dramatic segment on RAW unfolded with The Rock viciously assaulting a bloodied Cody Rhodes backstage. This intense scene elicited a reaction from Michelle Rubio, Cody’s mother, reflecting on the brutality of the encounter.
Despite facing significant challenges leading up to WrestleMania, Cody Rhodes, known as The American Nightmare, defied the odds and emerged victorious on the grand stage.
His triumph came on the second night of WrestleMania 40, where he achieved the monumental feat of dethroning The Tribal Chief to claim the coveted title of Undisputed WWE Universal Champion.
Recently aired on Wrestling’s UnSKripted, an interview by Bill Apter showcased Michelle Rubio’s thoughts on the unsettling segment involving her son.
Rubio expressed her surprise and found the portrayal somewhat “harsh,” yet remained confident in Cody’s ability to prevail at WrestleMania 40.
In her own words, Rubio remarked,
“Well, I was surprised. I thought it was a bit harsh. But my son is gonna make it all worthwhile this weekend at WrestleMania 40. So I am not worried about The Rock. He is not gonna hurt me, he is not gonna hand me a bloody belt, none of that. It’s not gonna happen. I am not smelling what The Rock is cooking.”
As events unfolded, Rubio’s prediction rang true as The American Nightmare fulfilled his destiny by achieving a historic victory over Roman Reigns in WWE.
This triumphant moment marked a significant milestone in Cody Rhodes’s career, solidifying his status as a formidable force in professional wrestling.
