Undisputed WWE Reigning champion Cody Rhodes is confident that there is still unfinished business between himself and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.
Rhodes reflected on his on-screen conflict with The Rock and the impact the WWE legend has had on both his career and his life, speaking with Ariel Helwani. “Dwayne Johnson has become a bit of a fixture in my career and my life, not just for his flag in the sand moment that was The showcase of the immortals. Then the emergence of probably one of the better characters that we’ve only seen a little bit of it being the Final Boss.”
On the flip side admitted he still sees it as unfinished, rhodes stopped short of guaranteeing the war of words will eventually resume. Additionally, but I think it’s an unfinished story.”, “I don’t want to give it an absolute and say that we do have to settle that.
He also acknowledged that not every storyline in professional wrestling receives a definitive conclusion. “There’s probably two unfinished stories that are out there, and they don’t always get finished.”
Rhodes then offered two different ways he views the unfinished chapter with The Rock. “There’s a version of this where finishing that story is me trying to be as successful as I possibly can be — follow a bit of, if not a lot of, his lead, break into TV in Hollywood and do something that he thought only he could do, and do that to honor him.”
However, Rhodes admitted there is another outcome that wrestling viewers would likely prefer. “Then there’s a version of it that’s probably more appealing to a wrestling fan where the Final Boss shows back up. There is more—there’s more on the rose than a non-ending.”
While there is no indication of when or if The Rock will arrival back to WWE television, Rhodes’ comments suggest he still hopes the competitive tension will eventually receive a proper conclusion.
