Cody Rhodes has fighting words ahead of WrestleMania 40.
'The American Nightmare' came to the ring on the March 18 episode of Raw for a heated promo. First, Rhodes referred to a previous comment that the The Rock made where he called himself everyone's favorite heel. Rhodes put that comment to bed and stated that Rock isn't a heel, but rather an asshole.
Rhodes then went on to criticize Rock for crying behind the scenes to the TKO board, accusing him of coming back to WWE for PR reasons. Rhodes pointed out the crowd at Raw and noted that Rock didn't need to save WWE, as they seem to be doing just fine.
After pointing out that Rock surrounds himself with people who only tell him yes, Rhodes said that he's going to start telling him like it is, which prompted him to call Rock a whiny bitch and a terrible salesman.
Rhodes then centered his focus on The Rock's mom, calling her a wonderful lady. Rhodes recalled a moment where she helped him slap Kevin Owens in a dark match once.
'The American Nightmare' finished out his promo by pointing out that Rock hasn't been in a ring in a number of years and asking him if he'll bring shades of the 'Brahama Bull' or 'The Great One' to WrestleMania 40, or if he'll just bring his little dick syndrome.
Paul Heyman was out next to offer an apology to Rhodes for sending NYPD officers at him a couple of weeks back. Heyman then revealed that Reigns will be alone for his segment with Rhodes on the March 22 episode of SmackDown, but only if Rhodes also agrees to come to the segment by himself.
