As the anticipation for tonight’s WWE SmackDown in Memphis, Tennessee, reaches a fever pitch, The Rock has once again ignited the wrestling world with his latest promo.
This time, The Great One aimed his verbal jabs squarely at Cody Rhodes, ridiculing him for his emotional outburst on RAW.
Scheduled to make an appearance at the FedExForum for tonight’s episode, The Rock wasted no time in delivering a direct message to Rhodes.
A message from the hottest heel pro wrestling has seen since the 80’s.
Mama Rhodes, you’re now in the Rock’s crosshairs.
Your son’s blood will be on the Rock’s belt, that I will personally deliver to you at WrestleMania.

Reflecting on Rhodes’s recent actions, particularly his tearful discussion about his mother on Monday’s RAW and his audacious slap to The Brahma Bull on last week’s SmackDown, The Rock minced no words in his response.
Questioning Rhodes’s sincerity in dedicating the title to his mother, The Rock made it clear that the Universal Championship would remain firmly in the possession of Roman Reigns.
However, he tantalizingly hinted at an intriguing twist for WrestleMania, suggesting a surprising gesture toward Mama Rhodes that left fans speculating.
But The Rock’s rhetoric didn’t stop there. With a steely determination, he vowed to confront Rhodes head-on at WrestleMania, promising a brutal encounter that would leave no doubt about the victor.
In a bold proclamation, he warned of inflicting such a devastating defeat that Rhodes’s blood would stain the very championship he holds dear.
Furthermore, The Rock reaffirmed his allegiance to Roman Reigns as his Tribal Chief, solidifying his role within The Bloodline.
