The character development of The Rock has been a captivating journey to witness. As anticipation mounts for his anticipated appearance on the February 16, 2024, episode of WWE SmackDown, The Great One has sent a compelling message to Cody Rhodes, hinting at significant changes leading up to WrestleMania 40.
Speculation has swirled around whether The Rock has embraced a full-fledged heel persona or merely dabbled in shades of gray. While not entirely committing to a heel turn, his recent actions and comments have certainly blurred the lines.
By openly challenging individuals for spreading falsehoods on X/Twitter, The People’s Champion has provided strong indications of a shift in character.
The Rock’s latest X/Twitter post directly aimed at Cody Rhodes ahead of SmackDown appears to solidify this evolution in character as WrestleMania 40 approaches. The former WWE Champion’s tweet reads:
“Hear the rumble. Hear the rumble. Run for dem life, when we step into the jungle. You f****d around and found out quick, didn’t you boy? You, your little friends and all your crybabies have no idea what’s coming. The world’s on notice. ~ People’s Champ + Tribal Chief #KillersInTheJungle #Bloodline #WrestleMania @WWE @TKOGrp @WWERomanReigns.”

The future trajectory for both The Great One and The American Nightmare remains shrouded in uncertainty, awaiting the unfolding drama of their impending clash.
Meanwhile, as The Rock prepares to grace “his” show once more, anticipation surges for his return to Friday Night SmackDown. Amidst the backdrop of recent controversies, his reappearance promises a more favorable outcome, especially with the confirmation of Cody Rhodes versus Roman Reigns for WrestleMania 40.
With Paul Heyman’s announcement of their presence on the upcoming SmackDown episode, The Great One amplifies the excitement with a post on X/Twitter, setting the stage for his return to “his” show.
Unlike previous encounters, The Brahma Bull’s interactions with Cody Rhodes are likely to take a different tone, hinting at an intriguing storyline twist.
As SmackDown unfolds, revealing the path leading to WrestleMania 40, The Rock’s allegiance to Roman Reigns becomes increasingly apparent, setting the stage for a thrilling showdown.
