Folks, we’ve seen a lot of wild things in professional wrestling, but The Rock offering Cody Rhodes a deal with the devil disguised as a Ford Raptor giveaway? That’s a new one.
On the latest WWE SmackDown, The Rock made his case in the most subtle way possible—by gifting Rhodes a truck, a custom weight belt, and an emotional guilt trip so strong it could put a dent in The Great Wall of China. The belt, featuring the late Dusty Rhodes’ name and the date of his passing, was The Rock’s way of saying:
👉 “Join me, Cody. Be my champion. Hand over your soul, and in return, you’ll get horsepower and heartbreak.”
The Final Ominous Message
As if things weren’t already dramatic enough, The Rock took to X (formerly Twitter, but still just as chaotic) to double down on his offer:
“Walk side by side with me, my brother Cody Rhodes. TONIGHT the City of TORONTO will never be the same when you become my champion and give me your soul. The American Nightmare will live forever. Do the right thing, and I’ll see you tonight at the Rogers Centre – final boss.”
Now, correct me if I’m wrong, but this is starting to sound like a WWE storyline written by Satan himself. And what exactly does it mean to give The Rock his soul? Is there a contract? Fine print? Does Cody wake up in a mysterious underground lair, forced to run Hollywood movie scripts past The Rock for eternity? So many questions.
What Happens Next?
The Rock has made it clear that this doesn’t even have to end in a match—which is the scariest part. At least if it were a match, Cody could power slam his way out of this horror movie plot. Instead, we’re in full psychological thriller mode.
One thing is certain: If Cody actually accepts this deal, he better read the terms and conditions first. Because based on how The Rock is talking, this might be a lifetime membership to The Bloodline…and possibly the Underworld.
Stay tuned. And someone, please get Cody a lawyer.
