Teil Margaret Rhodes, sister of WWE star Cody Rhodes, has taken a stand amidst the buzz surrounding WrestleMania 40. With the spotlight on the upcoming event, she voiced her thoughts on recent developments, particularly regarding her family’s involvement in the storyline.
Last week, wrestling enthusiasts were caught off guard when it seemed that a clash between The Rock and Roman Reigns was in the cards for WrestleMania 40. However, it was later confirmed that Cody Rhodes would indeed face Reigns at the grand event.
In the buildup to WrestleMania, The Rock made an appearance on The Pat McAfee Show and stirred controversy by referring to Cody’s fans as “Cody Crybabies.” This attempt to provoke a reaction didn’t sit well with Teil Margaret, who took to social media to express her disapproval.
In a tweet, she dismissed The Rock’s insult, stating that the “cry babies” remark didn’t have the desired impact. Her choice of GIF from the movie Mean Girls humorously illustrated her point, likening The Rock’s phrase to the failed attempt of making “Fetch” a popular term.

Meanwhile, speculation abounds regarding The Rock’s role in the WrestleMania storyline. While Cody Rhodes vs. Roman Reigns is anticipated to be the main event for Night 2, WWE has teased the possibility of a tag team match for Night 1, pitting Rhodes and Seth Rollins against The Rock and Reigns.
The Rock’s recent antagonistic comments, including the “Cody Crybabies” jab, hint at a potential return to his heel persona. Reports suggest that WWE has significant plans for a villainous version of The Great One, with the “Cody Crybabies” remark being a calculated move within the storyline.
As anticipation builds for WrestleMania 40, The Rock’s scheduled appearance on Friday’s SmackDown alongside Reigns raises further intrigue. Fans eagerly await the unfolding of events as the Road to WrestleMania continues to unfold.
