The Rock Cuts New Promo On Cody Rhodes, Takes Shots at Rhodes’ Mom

The Rock directed his attention to Cody Rhodes’ mother in the latest promo he cut on social media. The Great One posted the new promo to his Twitter account ahead of this week’s Smackdown, addressing Rhodes slapping him on last week’s Smackdown and Rhodes’ emotional promo on Monday’s Raw where he said he couldn’t give the Universal Title to Dusty Rhodes, but could give it to his mother. You can see the video and highlights below:

On pro wrestling being ‘cool’ again: “It’s a big week here in the world of professional wrestling. Because once again, professional wrestling is cool. Once again, professional wrestling is relevant. Once again, everyone’s talking about professional wrestling. Why? Because of one man. And you’re looking at him. Because of The Rock. Because of the People’s Champion; professional wrestling is happening is happening because of the final boss, The Rock.”

On Rhodes slapping him last week on Smackdown: “It’s also been a big week because everyone is talking. Last week, everyone is talking about the slap that was heard around the world. Finally, Cody Rhodes grew some balls. Finally that little boy got some hair on his nuts, and he slapped the s**t out of The Rock! Whoo, hoo hoo! He slapped the shit out of me…

“Well done, Cody Rhodes. The Rock has been waiting for you to main up. Giving him a challenge that’s worthy of the Great One. Oooh, that was a good slap do. What did The Rock do? He didn’t pretend like he was angry. He didn’t get a bunch of goofs and jabronis trying to hold him back. No no no, The Rock took your slap like a man. Matter of fact, The Rock started smiling! Yeah… because The Rock likes pain. But that’s a whole other conversation.”

On Rhodes’ Raw promo: “And Cody Rhodes, The Rock couldn’t wait. The world couldn’t wait to see how you were gonna react and respond after that Friday slap. On Monday Night Raw, two days later, what were you gonna do? And you get on Monday Night Raw. You get in the middle of that ring. The world is watching, and here’s what you did. Here’s how you responded to the biggest moment of your career when you slapped The Rock… [plays the video]

“Are you f**king kidding me? You start f**king crying? You start crying?? That’s how you respond? No wonder all your fans are crybabies. Cody Crybabies, no wonder. Because their Superman, their hero, ‘He’s crying too! You’re crying’ ‘I can’t give the belt to Dusty, but I can give it to my Mama! I can give it to my Mommy! My Mommy–‘ Shut the f**k up! Give it to your Mommy.”

On Cody’s mom: “You ain’t giving the title to your Mama. You ain’t giving that title, the Universal Title, to your Mama. That title’s going to remain around the waist of Roman Reigns. But, here’s what’s gonna happen at WrestleMania. And The Rock wants your Mama to have a front row seat. Mama Rhodes! The Rock is talking to you. Yeah, now you’re in The Rock’s crosshairs.

“Here’s what’s gonna happen. Mama Rhodes, you’re not gonna get the Universal Title handed to you on Night Two of WrestleMania, no no no… You’re gonna get a belt handed to you. It’s gonna be The Rock’s belt. it’s gonna be something like this [a weight belt]. Something like this — leather, Brahma Bull. Blood, Sweat, Respect. The blood part, that’s gonna be your son’s blood. It’s gonna be all over this belt. I’m gonna take this belt, Mama Rhodes, and I’m gonna whup your son. I’m gonna whup him like a dog! I’m gonna whup the piss out of him. I’m gonna whup the blood out of him. I’m gonna get all his blood on this belt, and all his sweat on this belt is qhat I’m gonna do. I’m gonna whup him, and whup him, and whup him, and WHUP HIM in front of the world.

“And then I’m gonna take this belt, Mama Rhodes, full of your son’s blood. And then I’m gonna hand it to you in front of the world. And I’m gonna say ‘Here you go, Mama Rhodes.’ You’re gonna be crying just like your son, just like all of his Cody Crybaby fans. Because you’re all a bunch of crybabies!… Give you this belt, Mama Rhodes. And I’m gonna say, ‘Mama Rhodes, here’s your belt. Now down is the direction you can sit. And I’m gonna look at your son, who’s gonna be in the middle of the ring, bleeding, crying. Look at all his Cody Crybaby fans, and tell them, ‘Off is the direction you can f**k.’ And that’s how you end a story. And that’s how your story is gonna end at WrestleMania, boy! Crying in a pool of your own blood with this belt sitting in your Mama’s lap. And Mama Rhodes, don’t worry. There’s two things you can do about it: nothing and like it.”
