In a video posted to his social media accounts, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson explained why Cody Rhodes initially turned down the WWE WrestleMania 40 main event spot against Roman Reigns.
The Rock claimed he called Cody after the Royal Rumble and told him to finish his story another time.
Cody allegedly said the following, according to Rock, โRock it stings, but I agree. It stings, but Iโm a team player. It stings, but I want whatโs best for the business.โ
Rock said the following
Regarding Cody changing his mind, The Rock said, โYou turned your back & looked at The Rock & instead of looking at The Rock saying โyeah go get him โ letโs make historyโ. Instead you gave The Rock a look & itโs the same look you gave the world, like The Rock went out there & ran over your goofy ass dog.โ
