Jeff Jarrett comments on the segment between The Rock and Cody Rhodes on WWE Friday Night SmackDown.
The Rock recently confronted Cody Rhodes on the February 21 WWE Friday Night SmackDown episode. Rock declared that he would give Cody until WWE Elimination Chamber to decide whether or not he wanted to be "Rock's Champion" at the cost of nothing but his soul.
WWE Hall of Famer and AEW wrestler Jeff Jarrett commented on the segment during his recent My World podcast. When Conrad Thompson asks if he believes this will lead to Rock wrestling, "Double J" says he does see "The Final Boss" getting back in the ring, but he doesn't know how that will happen.
"Yes, I think he's going to wrestle. How we get there, I'm not exactly sure, but I think that's part of why me and you are discussing this. I didn't watch it real time, but catching up on it and putting the pieces of puzzle together, because they put out little news bits and pieces of it. But man, it's got the world talking. T'he soul and not the belt,' and, 'What are they doing? Oh my gosh, is this good for Cody? Is this not good for Cody? Where Cena fit into this? Where's this going to go?'
"I know there are positives and negatives about the whole segment, but at the end of the day, I don't know if you can call him the biggest box office attraction in the world. He's certainly up there. We're talking about a guy who's a third generation in this industry. Again, I'm just going back to: it lifts the entire industry so far out of the stratosphere of what the online bickering may or may not be. I absolutely love it. It is good for all of wrestling, no matter how you slice it and dice it. [...] We've got a lot of TV to go [before WrestleMania]."
The Rock has said that the story between himself and Cody Rhodes doesn't necessarily need to culminate in a wrestling match, touting that as one of the benefits of his current character. Read his comments here.
