Dwayne The Rock Johnson took to Instagram on March 1 to post a message for Cody Rhodes. The message consisted of a clip from WrestleMania Kick off press conference last month at T-Mobile Arena and a caption. The caption read, “The irony here is the greatest periods in over 100 years of pro wrestling history – have been when it all starts to look and feel real. You can script violence all day, but you can’t script how intense a man feels about something he cares deeply for. I don’t walk the line, but I’m known to cross it – with intention. – Chapter 1.”

The Rock warned Cody Rhodes from interfering in The Bloodline affairs and to back off from the WrestleMania main event picture. However, Cody Rhodes and his cry babies hijacked an iconic moment to demand a rematch from WrestleMania 39.

Not only did Cody Rhodes challenged Roman Reigns again but his bloodline too, provoking the Great one. Hence, The Rock is offended as he deeply cares for his Anoa’i family and its legacy, while Roman Reigns is the torch bearer at the moment. So, The Rock has decided to do everything in his capacity to make sure that Cody Rhodes loses the match again.
