The Rock found himself in a surprising exchange when a fan questioned his entitlement to challenge for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship at WrestleMania XL, prompting a candid response from the wrestling icon.
Initially set to face his cousin Roman Reigns for the coveted title at WrestleMania, the WWE faced backlash from fans, leading to a change in plans. As a result, Cody Rhodes will now step into the spotlight at the Grandest Stage of Them All.
During a recent WWE World event, The Rock fielded a question from a young fan about why he believed he deserved the title shot. The inquiry left both The Great One and the audience astounded, with The People’s Champion taking a moment before responding.
In his characteristic style, The Rock outlined his credentials, citing his status as The Great One, the most electrifying man in the world, and the Final Boss who operates on his terms.
However, the unexpected exchange continued when the fan pointed out that The Rock hadn’t won the Royal Rumble, unlike Cody Rhodes. Caught off guard, The Brahma Bull acknowledged the point but reiterated his confidence in his upcoming match against Rhodes.
