Potential Fallout Revealed if Cody Rhodes Accepts The Rock's Proposal
WWE Hall of Famer Mark Henry compares Cody Rhodes’ potential response to The Rock at Elimination Chamber with the historic Stone Cold-Vince McMahon rivalry.
Mark Henry discussed the unfolding confrontation between Cody Rhodes and The Rock during Busted Open Radio. The WWE Hall of Famer analyzed The Rock’s request for Rhodes’ soul on SmackDown and drew parallels to one of WWE’s most successful storylines.
You want my soul? No. You can’t have my soul. I’m going to make your life miserable then. You’re no longer my friend. My mother hates your mother. My wife and kids hate your wife and kids. I’m going to send everybody that wants to do damage and harm to you your way. They’re going to hurt you, beat you. You’ll never have peace. You’re going to wake up in your dreams fighting. That’s the evil of all evil that could happen, and Cody’s going to have to be ready for it.
Henry pointed to similarities between this developing storyline and the iconic rivalry between Stone Cold Steve Austin and Vince McMahon, which propelled WWE to unprecedented success during the Attitude Era. Rhodes will address The Final Boss at Elimination Chamber: Toronto.
The TKO board member’s SmackDown promo marked a pivotal moment in the ongoing narrative, with Henry suggesting The Final Boss could emerge as a formidable antagonist. This dynamic positions Rhodes to potentially reach new heights as a fan favorite, echoing the formula that worked successfully during WWE’s most prosperous period.
