FULL SEGMENT: Cody Rhodes and The Rock's story has just begun: Raw highlights April 8, 2024

If you smell what The Rock is cooking. The Final Boss, The Rock with the People's Championship, which was awarded to him by Muhammad Ali's widow, Lonnie, at the Hall of Fame last Friday night. And let's not forget Pat, the man who won the Tag Team Championship by defeating Cody at WrestleMania on Saturday. Also, member of the board of directors of TKO. The man hit a perfect popular elbow and gave him a loud bottom. He looked like he did 20 years ago, and now he's blessing Raw after Mania. The People's Champion. The final boss. Too soon, too soon.

The Rock is a bunch of- Cole, tell them to shut up. Now The Rock says- The Rock is many things, Philadelphia, but sucks is not one of them. That's correct. Now before we begin- The Rock came out here. Before we begin, The Rock came here to deliver flowers to Cody Rhodes, and also say that Philadelphia broke another record for the largest Taylor Park trash gathering. Do you understand? Yeah, so Chandler now, shut up, shut up now, you piece of trash. Well, it's The Rock for Mania, okay? Yes. I didn't know that record could be broken, but leave it to Philadelphia.

Yes! Now The Rock came out here. No fireworks, no bloodshed,

just

you and The Rock. And The Rock

just

wants to give you your flowers. Cody Rhodes, you did it. You could sing whatever you want, but this is between you and The Rock. You did it, you completed your

story

. You faced all the odds and beat Roman Reigns in the middle of that ring, one, two, three. Do you think, Cody, that all the things you had to overcome, The Rock made you bleed? The Rock got blood on your hands, The Rock tore your clothes, broke your skin, and you still did it all.

And you won, you completed your

story

. And The Rock even made a belt, it was a special belt. He yelled at you like a dog, boy. He even put a special name on that belt, Mama Rhodes. No disrespect, he was very happy those last few nights, especially last night he was very happy. He had a big smile on his face. She is proud of her son, as she should be. You know who else had a big smile on her face? Your dad in heaven. As you know, as your family knows, and as a lot of these people know, your dad was my hero, man.

The American dream. And as you know, maybe, you know, The Soul Man, my dad and your dad, they were good friends, man. They controlled the cities, they ran up and down those roads, yes. I was thinking, I'm not really sure if my dad was proud of me with all the bad things I did to you. And I thought, well, I don't care. But I tell you what, Cody, you did it and you finished your story. And look at that belt. You have a new belt. Look at that thing, it's beautiful. It has the new nameplate, The American Nightmare.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I know you'd like to say The Rocks belt is fake, but this belt was given to me by Muhammad Ali's widow, Lonnie Ali. Thank you, at the Hall of Fame last weekend. You see, years ago, when The Rock joined The Nation of Domination and called himself The People's Champion, Muhammad Ali gave The Rock that nickname, The People's Champion. So this belt means a lot to The Rock, just like that belt means a lot to you. But, Cody, let The Rock ask you something. Is there any way The Rock can hold that title?

No fireworks tonight, no harm. I grew up in professional wrestling like you. I love professional wrestling titles. I've had each of them in these hands, but I've never had that one. Well- Do you want to hold this one? I do. You can hold this one for a moment- As long as I can hold yours. Sure, of course, absolutely. It would be an honor for you to have the title of People's Champion, yes. This is wonderful. I have to say that this just feels good. Thanks, Cody. Thank you very much for that, that means a lot. So, Cody Rhodes, as you know, and as many of you know, The Rock, has to go away for a while.

I know, I know, I know, I know, trust The Rock, The Rock doesn't want to leave either. The Rock loves professional wrestling. The Rock did it great again, you did it great again. Very nice to Philly. I don't think they mean it, in a nice way. But remember, The Rock is going away. But when The Rock comes back, Cody, whether you're champion or not, The Rock will come back for you. I'm looking forward to it. The Rock is looking forward to it too. The world will look forward to that. And also one more thing I want you to know and something very critical.

Yesterday, Cody Rhodes at the biggest WrestleMania of all time, man, you beat Roman Reigns right in the middle of the ring, one, two, three. However, less than 24 hours before that, The Rock beat you in the middle of the ring, one, two, three. So, Cody Rhodes, your story with Roman Reigns is over and you made it. But our story- has just

begun

. I think that because you're the boss, right? You're the final boss, but you're also on the board with TKO, you're my literal boss, right? That's correct. Well, I don't dispute it, but I don't think you dispute it.

I am the champion. I am your champion. And boss, that means I'm your champion. You are their champion, you are the world champion, you are my champion. Cody Rhodes, there's one last thing before The Final Boss walks off into the sunset. I have something to give you. There are no fireworks. You don't even have to open your hand to know what this is. Never break my heart again. If you smell what The Final Boss is cooking. Shots have been fired. The opening salvo. And soon there would be a future war with The Rock and Cody Rhodes.

As their mind games continue.
