WWE created history last week when they made their OTT debut and Netflix is now their official OTT partner. Some of the biggest legends of the promotion like The Undertaker and Hulk Hogan showed up in the show, it also featured some excellent matches like Roman Reigns vs. Solo Sikoa and Seth Rollins vs. CM Punk.
Another legend that made a surprise appearance was The Rock. He was expected to continue his heated feud with Cody Rhodes as The Final Boss was heavily rumored to win the men’s Royal Rumble match to get the opportunity to face Rhodes at WrestleMania 41 for the Undisputed WWE title.
The Rock – Cody Rhodes Segment From Netflix RAW Had No Logic At All? Wrestling Legend Gives Shocking Explanation
But surprisingly, Dwayne Johnson turned babyface on Netflix RAW Premiere and he even had a friendly segment with Cody Rhodes without even cutting any promo of burying the hatchet. This segment flooded massive criticism among fans and critics. Wrestling legend Vince Russo also criticized this segment with strong words on his “BroDown” podcast;
The Rock and Cody Rhodes had a big feud throughout 2024
“The last time we saw you two together, you were beating Cody up with his own tour truck. Now you’re putting him over, come on bro. There’s no logic to these things. Logic is out the window.” Said the former WWE and WCW star.

He continued, “But here’s the best part, Mac. So then not only does Rock drink and drive, but he leaves his kids in the building. He leaves his kids there and drink. He’s drinking a bottle of tequila and take it off. Who’s bringing the kids home?” concluded the former WCW World Heavyweight Champion.

Recent reports are suggesting that Dwayne Johnson would not be available for WrestleMania 41 anymore since he has to be a part of the reshooting of Moana movie. He is 52 right now, by the month of May, he will be 53. So it is highly unlikely that he would be a part of the next WrestleMania. As of now, reports suggest that John Cena would be facing Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 41.
