Cody Rhodes vs Roman Reigns: WWE Legend Cites the Infamous Slap by Dwayne Johnson as Just the “Beginning”

Dwayne Johnson has the entire wrestling industry in shambles since he slapped Cody Rhodes at the WrestleMania KickOff event in Las Vegas. While that was the moment that allowed Rhodes to secure the main event against Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 40, it also caused a kayfabe controversy. Now, according to one WWE legend, things haven’t yet wrapped up.

So far, fans believe that the only significance the ‘slap’ holds is to let Cody Rhodes make his final decision regarding the main event for Mania this year. But Paul Heyman has recently revealed that things haven’t yet come to a close.

Dwayne Johnson will return to SmackDown this week

SmackDown 02/16 is just a few hours away and Heyman has already teased that things are going to take an interesting twist. Without revealing a single detail, he has hinted at the possibility of Johnson joining everyone at Delta Center in Salt Lake City for the blue brand show.

The Wise Man shared pictures from the eventful evening that took place in Vegas a few days ago. He also uploaded a caption that clearly showed what he wanted the fans to know ahead of the show.

After revealing that Reigns and Johnson will be present alongside himself on SmackDown 02/16, Heyman added, “The @DeltaCenter in #SaltLakeCity will be the setting, and The People’s Slap was only the beginning of what’s to come next.” The infamous manager closed the caption by saying, “And that’s not a prediction. That’s a spoiler!”

Not only did he tease the Samoan cousins’ arrival on SmackDown, but Heyman also revealed that they would be extending upon the storyline they started in Vegas last week.

Much like Paul Heyman, The Rock isn’t letting this issue rest easy either. In fact, a few days ago, he teased fans with an Instagram post, calling out The American Nightmare.

Dwayne Johnson is enjoying his heel persona

Ever since he has officially turned heel in WWE, Johnson has been unapologetically calling out Cody Rhodes and his fans. Even before the KickOff event, he had called Rhodes’ fans “Cody Crybabies”. Days after the slap incident, Johnson took to his Instagram and shared the same clip in front of the world.
