The Rock Stares Off With Roman Reigns On WWE Smackdown, Cody Rhodes Says He Won’t Face Reigns At WrestleMania

The Rock made an appearance on this week’s episode of WWE Smackdown and stared down Roman Reigns after Cody Rhodes said he wasn’t facing Reigns at WrestleMania. Friday night’s show saw Rhodes and Reigns come face to face in the ring with Rhodes not having yet announced his decision regarding who he would face at WrestleMania. Rhodes talked about what “finishing the story” meant and said that he wanted the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship and everything Reigns has, and that he would take it all from Reigns but not at WrestleMania.

Rhodes then said that he had been talking to a special counsel, one who knows Reigns well. The Rock then came out and Rhodes hugged him before he left the ring. Rock and Reigns then stepped slowly to each other to end the show.

No announcements were made official for WrestleMania regarding Reigns’ or Rhodes’ opponents during the segment.
