After the electrifying WrestleMania 40 Kickoff press event in Las Vegas last Thursday night, WWE is rumored to have significant plans in store for none other than The Rock.
Cody Rhodes, making his mark during the press event, chose Roman Reigns as his opponent for WrestleMania 40. In a heated exchange, Rhodes not only called out Reigns but also suggested that Reigns’ family would be ashamed of him.
This prompted an enraged response from The Rock, who took offense to the comments about his ancestors and delivered a slap to the Royal Rumble winner.
According to reports from WrestleVotes, The Rock is poised to fully embrace a heel persona on WWE television, drawing inspiration from his earlier “Hollywood” Rock days.
The storyline is said to be in its early stages, and fans can anticipate the release of “Cody Crybabies” merchandise associated with The Rock.
Wrestling veteran Vince Russo added an intriguing layer to the narrative that The Rock went over Triple H’s head to secure the match against Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 40.

Russo suggested that The Rock, in collaboration with Ari Emanuel, may have orchestrated this decision, playing the political game to ensure a main event spot.
Russo acknowledged that politics is an inherent aspect of the wrestling business, emphasizing the competitive nature where individuals strive for success.
As anticipation builds for WrestleMania in Philadelphia, WWE fans are buzzing with excitement about The Rock’s involvement in this year’s grand event.
The legend’s apparent heel turn and the brewing storyline with Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns have set the stage for a compelling narrative leading up to the biggest show of the year in April.
