Gewirtz, who’s been aiding in The Rock’s creative endeavors in WWE, shared a cryptic gif of DC Comic’s Joker on his official X (formerly Twitter) account, accompanied by the message, “and here we go.”
With Seth Rollins also advertised for tonight’s SmackDown, fans speculate his involvement in a segment with the Samoan faction, given his association with Cody Rhodes.
As the show approaches, fans eagerly anticipate the unfolding drama, especially with WrestleMania XL just weeks away.
The Rock recently shed light on his interaction with Cody Rhodes backstage at a WrestleMania press event. In a lengthy video shared on his official Instagram account just before tonight’s SmackDown, the People’s Champion delved into various aspects of Rhodes and his storyline.
Reflecting on their encounter in Las Vegas, The Rock expressed his surprise at Rhodes’ silence despite the opportunity to discuss any concerns privately:
“I saw you in Las Vegas. I saw you backstage, 20 feet away. Rock dapped you up, gave you a hug. Did you say anything to The Rock then? ‘Hey Rock, I got something on my mind’. ‘Yeah tell me about it’. ‘Hey Rock! I got something that’s eating me up inside’. ‘Cody go ahead, tell me about it. Let’s walk over there. Let’s talk in private. Come and tell me about it.’ Did you say any of that? No! You didn’t say a thing!” recounted The Rock [11:34-11:57]
The WWE legend’s villainous persona in 2024 has left fans astounded, drawing comparisons to his iconic Hollywood Rock character from years past, evoking a sense of nostalgia among the audience.
