Former WWE head writer Vince Russo is enthusiastic about the intriguing feud unfolding between The Rock and Cody Rhodes, viewing it as a brilliantly orchestrated setup by the company.
As the WrestleMania storyline unfolds, Rhodes, known as The American Nightmare, faces formidable opposition from The Final Boss, portrayed by The Rock.
Recent events on RAW saw the Hollywood star launching a brutal assault on Rhodes, making it clear that he wouldn’t allow the second-generation superstar to clinch the coveted title without a fierce battle.
In a discussion on Sportskeeda Wrestling’s Legion of RAW, Russo emphasized the audience’s keen interest in witnessing a showdown between The Rock and Rhodes.
He pointed out that even if Rhodes were to lose the title match at WrestleMania, the feud could be sustained by pinning the blame on The Final Boss, providing a compelling narrative for their continued rivalry.
Russo elaborated on the potential for The Rock, even amidst filming commitments, to contribute through video packages, ensuring continued fan engagement.
“They presented this thing in such a way that the people want Rock and Cody. It’s as simple as Rock scr*ing Cody. That gives Cody his out. And if Rock goes to make another movie bro, he’s sending his promo and his vignette in every week. That’s all it takes bro. That’s all it takes, from April to SummerSlam.” [From 29:00 onwards]
Recent developments on RAW saw The Rock and Roman Reigns joining forces in a brutal assault on Rhodes and Seth Rollins, escalating tensions in the lead-up to WrestleMania.
With the highly anticipated event just around the corner, the physical condition of both protagonists will be a point of interest, as fans eagerly anticipate their clash at the grand spectacle.
