World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins issued a bold warning to The Rock following a tense encounter at the WrestleMania 40 Kickoff press event. The event, held last Thursday night, saw Cody Rhodes and The Rock in a confrontation that shook the WWE universe.
Chaos ensued as Cody Rhodes, fresh off his Royal Rumble triumphs, upended the planned main event by boldly selecting Roman Reigns as his WrestleMania 40 opponent, disregarding The Rock’s anticipated clash with Reigns. The Rock’s frustration boiled over when Rhodes disparaged the prestigious Anoa’i family, prompting a heated exchange culminating in a shocking slap from The Great One.
In an interview with Sports Illustrated, Seth Rollins delivered a stern message to The Rock, asserting his dominance as the reigning World Heavyweight Champion. Rollins welcomed The Rock’s presence but reminded him of his place in the WWE, urging him to return to Hollywood. Rollins stated, “He can show up and do his thing, I just want him to know this is my place now, I’m the World Heavyweight Champion, it’s my time, my WrestleMania, my show. So please, come do your thing, raise your eyebrow, say your little words, and run on back and do your things, make your movies, make your money. Just know whose house it is.”
It will be interesting to see what unfolds on WWE RAW with Rollins having Cody Rhodes’ back against The Rock and Roman Reigns.
