A WWE Hall of Famer recently added a humorous twist to the ongoing saga between The Rock and The Undertaker in a meme shared online.
As The Rock makes his long-awaited return to WWE, aligning with Roman Reigns for WrestleMania 40, his unexpected support for Cody Rhodes inadvertently turned him heel for the first time since his “Hollywood” Rock days back in 2003.
Meanwhile, The Undertaker, having retired from in-ring competition in 2020, has transitioned into a new chapter of his career as a podcaster and YouTuber, offering fans a glimpse behind the curtain as Mark Calaway.
Taking note of this curious turn of events, Mick Foley took to his Instagram account to share a meme illustrating the confusion surrounding The Rock’s sudden heel turn after over two decades, juxtaposed with The Undertaker’s evolution into a social media influencer and YouTuber.
“EXCELLENT POINT! …but how great is The Rock as a heel right now? The guy is at the top of his game!”
Foley commented, injecting his trademark humor into the situation.
Having shared the ring with both wrestling icons during his storied career, Foley is well-versed in the complexities of their personas, particularly The Rock’s capacity for villainy.
Known for his active presence on social media, Foley’s humorous take added a lighthearted touch to the ongoing discussion.
Reflecting on The Rock’s WrestleMania return and his clash with Cody Rhodes, The Undertaker expressed sympathy for Rhodes, acknowledging the magnitude of a potential showdown between The Rock and Reigns while empathizing with Rhodes’ situation.
“Believe me, money-wise, having The Rock at WrestleMania against Roman Reigns, come on. Samoan versus Samoan, it’s huge,” The Undertaker remarked on his Six Feet Under podcast. “It might backfire. Wrestling fans don’t like a lot of things, in the long run, it’s box office, but knowing and being in that situation a couple of times myself, for Cody to go out and do the promo, I felt for him. I felt a knot in my stomach, and he did it like a champ.”
Ultimately, Rhodes reclaimed his rightful place in the WrestleMania main event, prompting The Rock’s unexpected heel turn as fans reacted to the unfolding drama.
