The rivalry reached a dramatic peak during Rhodes\u2019 quest to \u201cfinish the story,\u201d with The Rock declaring that he wanted Rhodes\u2019 \u201csoul\u201d before WrestleMania. Although Rhodes ultimately defeated Roman Reigns to capture the Undisputed WWE Championship, the storyline with The Rock was never fully resolved.<\/p>\n

Outside of his appearance at Elimination Chamber, where he played a pivotal role in John Cena\u2019s shocking heel turn, The Rock has not returned to proceed his rivalry with Rhodes.

You may try some highlights from the podcast below:<\/p>\n

On why he needs to complete his storyline with The Rock:<\/strong> \u201cDwayne Johnson has turn into a \u2014 I feel it\u2019s secure to say he\u2019s like a little bit of a fixture in my profession and my life. Not only for his \u2018flag within the sand\u2019 moment that was WrestleMania, after which the emergence of probably certainly one of the higher characters that we\u2019ve only seen a bit of little bit of it, being the Final Boss.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t want to provide it an absolute and say that we do must settle that, but I feel I feel it\u2019s an unfinished story. There\u2019s probably two unfinished stories which are on the market, and so they don\u2019t all the time get finished. Wrestling is \u2014 there\u2019s numerous fantasy booking, there\u2019s numerous ways but there\u2019s rather a lot that goes into it.\u201d<\/p>\n

On the 2 ways it could go:<\/strong> \u201cThere\u2019s a version of this where, ending that story is me attempting to be as successful as I possibly will be, follow a little bit of, if not numerous his lead. Break into TV and Hollywood and do something that he thought only he could do, and try this to honor him. Then there\u2019s a version of it that\u2019s probably more appealing to a wrestling fan, where the Final Boss shows back up and there\u2019s more on the rose than a non-ending.\u201d<\/p>\n
