Dwayne Johnson is all set to fight alongside his cousin and Universal Champion Roman Reigns against Cody Rhodes and World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins in WrestleMania 40. But the new fan-favorite heel, The Bloodline is still not away from talking trash about Rhodes and Rollins. Now, The Rock has compared their nemesis to two iconic characters in the history of cinema— but not in a good light all the way.
Dwayne Johnson Compared Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins to Two Iconic Movie Characters
Dwyane Johnson’s return to WWE has changed the scenario altogether, but when he turned heel and joined The Bloodline, the fun for fans has extended to a new height. Recently, The Rock unleashed a hellish beatdown on Cody Rhodes asserting his dominance again. Certainly, The Rock has brought back the essence of the ‘Attitude Era’ with costumes resembling his previous tenure perfectly complemented his heel phase.
Now, just a day ahead of WrestleMania 40, The Rock and his cousin Roman Reigns appeared in a recent episode of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, and he compared Rhodes to Star Wars character Luke Skywalker while calling Rollins a Joker.
“You have a guy named Cody Rhodes. For those of you who may not know, Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins – they’re both bada*ses in their own right. They’re, I liken Cody Rhodes to Luke Skywalker. True? And I liken Seth Rollins to the Joker. Yeah, so these guys are really unique, kind of crazy guys, but, also, at the end of the day…, There can only be one, and when there is only one, you have The Tribal Chief and you have The Final Boss.”
The Final Boss and The Tribal Chief will bring their A-game on day one of WrestleMania 40 in a tag match against Rhodes and Rollins before The American Nightmare’s Universal title shot.
All About Making The Biggest WrestleMania Of All Time
“I’ve been working my a*s off…” The Rock said. Of course, he does not move away from the gym but now he is pouring all his strength into his preparation for the match in the squared circle. But The Rock’s impressive return and his preparation to get into the ring come down to one thing, to make WrestleMania 40 spectacular.
“I’ve been working hard. He’s [Roman Reigns] been working with me. So we’ll see what we’re going to do, but I cannot wait. The whole idea, by the way, to bring us all together like this and Roman and I together like this was just to – What can we do to create a main event for WrestleMania that we could say is the biggest WrestleMania of all time? And so here we are.”
The Rock is The Final Boss now. Following his appointment as a member of the board of WWE’s parent company, TKO Holdings, The Rock is fairly responsible for the sustainability of the company. Certainly, WWE has endured several blows recently but all of these did not affect the fame and popularity of the company, it was all because of The Rock, and there would not be any debate about that.
WrestleMania 40 stars from 6 April.
