On the verge of his highly-anticipated return to Friday Night Smackdown in a matter of hours, The Rock made a point to stir the pot on social media. He shared a video that included not only commentary on his ongoing storyline with Cody Rhodes, but also mentioned their interaction after Rhodes’ Royal Rumble win and the subsequent events at the WrestleMania 40 Kickoff Press Conference in Las Vegas.
In his message, The Rock took a jab at Cody Rhodes and his fanbase, whom he cheekily referred to as the “Cody Crybabies.” He lamented the missed opportunity for what could have been the “biggest WrestleMania match of all-time” against Roman Reigns, denying allegations that his corporate status had any effect on facilitating a match with Reigns. The Rock labeled such claims false.
Further into the dialogue, The Rock called out Seth Rollins, branding him a ‘clown’, which Rollins has since addressed. Unexpectedly, The Rock also took a playful swipe at Cody’s pet dog, Pharaoh, describing the canine companion as ‘goofy a**’ and generating quite a stir among fans and onlookers.
The remark about Pharaoh prompted a response from Cody Rhodes’ sister, Teil Rhodes. She took to her social media to express her disapproval of The Rock’s words about the dog, insinuating that targeting a pet is a tasteless act.
“Going after a DOG is almost as low as all the bots”
With The Rock scheduled to appear on Friday Night Smackdown soon, alongside his cousin Roman Reigns, who has already arrived at the venue, speculation is also abuzz that Cody Rhodes may step into the ring at the Desert Diamond Arena as well.
