A WWE superstar has responded to The Rock’s recent social media post ahead of tonight’s SmackDown episode in Glendale, Arizona. This marks the first show for the blue brand since Elimination Chamber 2024.
In a memorable moment, the iconic wrestler gave Cody Rhodes a firm slap across the face during the WrestleMania 40 Kickoff press conference in Las Vegas last month.
Reacting to this, the American Nightmare issued a challenge to The Great One for a singles match during his appearance on The Grayson Waller Effect at Elimination Chamber.
As anticipation builds for tonight’s SmackDown, The Rock, along with The Bloodline, dropped a video on social media, directly addressing Cody Rhodes.
Samantha Irvin, a prominent figure in the wrestling community, took to social media to share her thoughts on The Rock’s video. She posted an Instagram story featuring The People’s Champion’s video with three present emojis edited over it, indicating her excitement.
Additionally, she expressed her enthusiasm for the current wrestling scene on her official X account, stating, “WHAT A TIME.”
The Rock’s message in the video shed light on his reasons for confronting Cody Rhodes. While acknowledging Rhodes’ right to change his mind, The Great One emphasized his disappointment with how the situation unfolded.
He stated, “You know what? That’s no problem. You can change your mind, you have that right, and The Rock accepts that. Everybody has a right to change their mind. The Rock accepts it, you changed your mind. But, here’s what The Rock doesn’t accept. It’s how you did it!”

Looking back, Cody Rhodes faced Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 39 but fell short after interference from Solo Sikoa. With WrestleMania 40 looming in Philadelphia, fans speculate whether Rhodes will have a chance to dethrone The Tribal Chief.
As the wrestling world eagerly awaits tonight’s SmackDown and the unfolding drama between The Rock and Cody Rhodes, the anticipation for WrestleMania 40 continues to grow. Will Cody Rhodes finally complete his story at the grandest stage of them all? Only time will tell.
