Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins are headed to SmackDown.
'The American Nightmare' kicked off the March 4 episode of Raw and immediately got to business, as he stated that he can't focus on his upcoming WrestleMania match with Roman Reigns because of The Rock and his actions. Rhodes addressed Rock's 21 minute promo and called him a politican, which allowed him to make a joke about the rumors surrounding a potential presidential run for 'The Great One'.
Seth Rollins came out next, but Rhodes first stated that he went back on his pact with Rock because he won the Royal Rumble and earned the right to challenge Reigns for his championship at WrestleMania. Rollins told Rhodes that the biggest thing they can do is take down The Bloodline before they become too strong.
Rollins then addressed Rock's claims that he could make the World Heavyweight Championship go away, daring 'The Great One' to even try something like that. The former 'Monday Night Messiah' then made a shocking announcement, as he revealed that he has received 100% medical clearance.
In light of the medical news, Rollins announced that he will be on the March 8 episode of SmackDown to confront The Rock and Roman Reigns. Cody Rhodes confirmed that he'd be joining Rollins on the show.
