Cody Rhodes Finally Solves the Plot Hole in His Dwayne Johnson-Roman Reigns Storyline

WWE Raw this week waltzed back into our lives to solve a myriad of questions on the road to WrestleMania. And the biggest question that we all are looking up to is how Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins respond to the challenge put forth by the Samoan brothers (The Rock, Roman Reigns) last week. The American Nightmare finally gave us a well-defined answer that works as the missing piece of the Dwayne Johnson-Cody Rhodes storyline puzzle.

Cody Rhodes added a unique layer to his latest The Rock-Roman Reigns equation 

Rhodes spilled in a bombshell confession that The Rock abruptly changed the dynamic of their private conversation and told him that he wouldn’t stand a Cody Rhodes vs Roman Reigns at this point in time. He said The Rock told him that the people wanted him to take on Reigns for the title as they didn’t favor a Roman Reigns vs Cody Rhodes matchup as well. As the crowd went vocal, Rhodes introduced Rollins into the picture.

We need to see how the drama between him and the new Bloodline member proceeds forward.

Moving ahead, another theory spurned on The Rock-Cody Rhodes’ drama depicted over The Great One’s 21-minute-long social media promo.

The reason behind the non-telecast of The Rock’s begrudging social media promo

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s latest infamous promo wasn’t featured on the blue brand live. It naturally begs the question of why WWE purposefully refrained from broadcasting it on SmackDown. Initially, it was rumored that The Rock wasn’t sure if he would be allowed to take up that time on the live show or not. Wrestling observer Dave Meltzer, however, ruled out this theory stating that it’s not viable that The Rock would fear being subject to the time restriction given his enlarged leverage inside the promotion post the inclusion in the TKO Board. Meltzer noted, “I woke up on Friday morning. And I’d seen m. And I’d seen messages that he did this promo because they weren’t gonna give them enough time on SmackDown. And I said, That’s ridiculous! Rock can get as much time as he wants.

But in the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Radio, Meltzer contradicted his own belief with a counter stance that says “Because he can’t get as much time as he wants, this isn’t working this way

He garnered the information from a close-knit WWE insider, so there’s a good chance that The Rock, despite being a TKO member, legit doesn’t have enough sway to get him some more screen time on a live show.
