It's Bloodline season for Cody Rhodes.
At WWE Elimination Chamber, Cody Rhodes, who is set to face Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 40, challenged The Rock to face him in a singles match. On the February 26 episode of WWE Raw, Cody Rhodes beat Grayson Waller, but his celebration was cut short by Paul Heyman.
Heyman was accompanied by a group of what he noted were off-duty officers, and he noted that he understood Rhodes was frustrated after The Rock "Will Smith'ed" him. However, he warned Rhodes to keep The Rock's name out of his mouth and withdraw his challenge.

Rhodes refused to back down, as he made it clear that he was not afraid. Cody said that he came from a family where meals were determined by selling tickets, and The Rock sold more than anyone, but he was fed up with being nice. Heyman's henchman surrounded the ring, and Rhodes took the fight to them. Cody then declared that The Bloodline was not hunting him. Instead, he said that he was hunting The Bloodline as Heyman called both Reigns and The Rock.
"The Bloodline isn't hunting me... I'M HUNTING THE BLOODLINE!"
