WWE Hall Of Famer Believes Legend Will Never Wrestle Again
On the February 21st episode of SmackDown, The Rock once again made his return to TV and rekindled his rivalry with Cody Rhodes. After calling out The American Nightmare, Rock made the offer to Rhodes that he wanted the Undisputed Champion to be “his champion” and to sell his soul to The Final Boss, which will see Rhodes make his decision at Elimination Chamber.
While it was previously speculated that a match between Rock and Rhodes was on the cards for a future Mania, it now appears to be in doubt given that Rock stated in a post-show press conference that their storyline does not need to culminate in a match. Reacting to the segment, one WWE Hall of Famer made the bold prediction that The Rock never wrestles again.
