Cody Rhodes: I Know When The Rock Comes Back, I Know Who He Will Come Looking For

Cody Rhodes knows who The Rock will target when he returns.

Since WrestleMania 40, The Rock's eventual return has loomed large over Cody Rhodes' run as WWE Champion. At Bad Blood, The Rock would make a return to staredown both Rhodes and Roman Reigns, but has not been seen since in WWE.

In a new interview on Unlikely with Adrian Hernandez, Cody was asked about recent rumors suggesting The Rock would not be a part of WrestleMania 41.

"Well, I mean, I mean this and I don't mean this in a like a smart Alec type way, but Rock is the director of the board. The man that is The Final Boss, Dwayne Johnson, is different from The Final Boss and his outside the box thinking with Nick Khan and Triple H, is part of WWE's record era, part of this WWE Netflix era so in whether he's in the ring or whether he's not, he very much is still very involved with what happens at 41. I know when he comes back, I know who he'll come looking for, I know what to expect. But what I can say about WrestleMania 41 is keep the rumors going, keep them churning, enjoy the discourse, but i think what you will get will surprise you all."

While The Rock may not be involved for the time being, The OG Bloodline will take on The New Bloodline at Survivor Series in War Games. You can read more about that here.

Cody will be face to face with Kevin Owens next week on Friday Night SmackDown. You can read more about that here.
