“Lot More”: Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson’s Close Aide Provides Update After Mysterious ‘Gift’ to Cody Rhodes

The Rock isn’t going anywhere. He might be on the verge of postponing his WWE commitments, but his stint is not over. The Great One exhibited an amazing deal of star power and talent on WrestleMania Night 1, scoring a pinfall for his team against Cody Rhodes. Just the next day on Raw, Johnson again popped up on the stage to give Rhodes his due credit. In between a soothing segment, The Rock lets the world know that he’s going away for a while. But his close associate Brian Gitrez warned Cody Rhodes fans to proceed with caution as the Hollywood star aims to make a rather ruthless comeback.

Cody Rhodes fans receive a gentle warning from The Rock’s WWE co-worker

The Rock left no stone unturned to wreak havoc on Cody Rhodes’ path in the last few months. After coming up short in snatching his opponent’s dream WrestleMania spot due to the unbridled ‘We Want Cody’ campaign by millions, The Brahma Bull expressed his fury at the entire American Nightmare fan base and dubbed them as Cody crybabies during an appearance in Pat McAfee’s show.

He hilariously roasted “grown a** men” complaining about Cody not being able to finish his story. Since that day, The Rock kept on taking digs at the crybabies during his exaggerated heel promos.

Now, Cody has finally finished his story, and The Rock announced his hiatus on Raw last night, Former WWE writer Brian Gewirtz, who works closely with The Brahma Bull advised fans not to get into the seventh heaven. He revisited The Rock’s subtle threat to Cody Rhodes after handing him a mysterious present. It implies that The Rock will come back sooner than we expect to settle the unfinished business with the current Undisputed WWE Universal Champion.

To dive deeper into the tease, let’s explore the expected timeline for this blockbuster clash.

Does a SummerSlam return sound logical for Dwayne Johnson? Explained

After establishing his intentions through a calculated promo with Cody Rhodes in the middle of the ring at Raw, The Rock went back to his usual gimmick and reminded the champion that he defeated him on Night 1 and warned him about a future fight, keeping his newly owned title in line. Also, The Rock at the WrestleMania 40 Night 1 Press Conference hinted that more matches could be on the horizon for him. The rumor mills suggested that The Brahma BUll could bring his mojo back in the fold around SummerSlam 2024 or at Saudi Arabia’s event later this year.

On the other hand, shooting for The Rock’s next Hollywood project – ‘The Smashing Machine – is largely expected to wrap around August. So, a SummerSlam return most possibly to go up against Cody Rhodes in a massive matchup seems feasible enough. What’s your take on The Rock’s close associate taking digs at Cody Rhodes fans right after WrestleMania weekend? Let us know in the comments.
