Cody Rhodes shared a cryptic message on Instagram following The Rock’s proposition on SmackDown. The Undisputed WWE Champion posted the famous Robert Frost poem “The Road Not Taken” after The Final Boss called him out during the show.
During SmackDown, The Rock addressed Rhodes directly, offering him a chance to become “his” champion in exchange for giving up his soul. The former WWE Champion stated that Rhodes and his family would receive everything they dreamed of as part of this arrangement, adding that he would appear at Elimination Chamber to hear the response.
The Instagram post by Rhodes featured the most recognizable lines from the poem:
Two roads diverged in a Wood. And I took the one less traveled by. And that has made all the difference.
The timing of this literary reference appears significant as it directly follows The Rock’s proposition. The poem’s central theme of choosing between two paths mirrors Rhodes’ current storyline situation, where he must decide whether to accept or reject The Final Boss’s offer at Elimination Chamber.
The poem’s emphasis on choosing the less conventional path and the positive outcome of that decision could indicate Rhodes is contemplating a response that might surprise viewers. This social media activity has generated speculation about his upcoming decision at the premium live event.
Rhodes must now weigh his options before facing The Rock at Elimination Chamber, where his answer will potentially set the direction for his championship reign going forward.
