As previously advertised, The Rock made his electrifying return to WWE on the February 21st edition of SmackDown on Friday night. As a member of the board, The People's Champion had the honor of announcing to the Smoothie King Center crowd that WrestleMania 42 will be held in New Orleans next year. But that wasn't the only bomb that The Final Boss dropped.
After his big announcement, The Rock called out Cody Rhodes to join him in the ring, to which the Undisputed WWE Champion obliged. Much like he did during the RAW on Netflix premiere, The Great One sent high praise towards The American Nightmare for being an amazing champion and carrying the company on his back. Despite the bloody battles and the hell that The Rock put Rhodes through on the Road to WrestleMania last year, The Final Boss admitted he and the WWE Champion have become good friends since.
The Rock even referred to Rhodes as a brother. But the promo eventually took an eerie turn as The Great One started to talk about his standing as a board member of TKO Group Holdings, the conglomerate that owns the WWE. Soon enough, The Rock revealed the real reason he came for — and it was a rather strange request for Cody Rhodes.
The one thing I want more than anything in the world is that...
I want your soul. The WWE Champion was visibly taken aback by The Rock's eerie demands. The People's Champ then gave Rhodes an ultimatum to give his answer on March 1st in Toronto at Elimination Chamber.
