Cody had to tell Mama Rhodes to dial it back.
Cody Rhodes and The Rock have been feuding on the road to WrestleMania 40, and they will clash in a tag team match on the first night of the event. Throughout the rivalry, The Rock has repeatedly brought Cody's mother, "Mama Rhodes", into it, and he has vowed to make the Rhodes family pay.
During an appearance on The TODAY Show, Cody was asked about The Rock bringing his mother into the feud.
“You know it’s gotten somewhere when you’re bringing the moms [into it]. My mom told me she was gonna bring her bear spray [to WrestleMania]. I had to let her know you can’t bring that into the stadium. My mom hasn’t been part of wrestling. She married my dad when he was at the height of his fame with the industry. She’s seen all this. I don’t think Rock knows this, and I ain’t gonna be the one to tell him. My mom’s usually asleep when the show’s on. So she’s coming into WrestleMania week [in] Philadelphia probably [with] everyone wondering what she’s gonna do. Who knows? She’s the best, she’s seen it all. She’s perfect, she’ll be there in the front row. Rock ain’t getting nowhere near her, and if I could say anything about The Rock’s mom, lovely lady," Rhodes said.
