Dwayne Johnson spent around 25 minutes talking to the press after Smackdown ended, fielding questions from local media about WrestleMania in New Orleans, Cody Rhodes, and other topics.
Speaking about his promo with Rhodes, The Rock said certain angles don’t need to culminate to a match, suggesting that this one will be one of those.
“In the world of pro wrestling, as we all know, everything will culminate to a match. Whatever happens, it’ll end up in the ring,” The Rock explained to the media. “What I really love about this rare air space that we’ve gotten to with the character of the Final Boss, it’s like this white whale unicorn in that with the Final Boss and Cody Rhodes, it’s not about the WWE title, it’s not about having a match…it never has to culminate to a match.”
Rock said he “loved every minute” of the in-ring segment with Cody, adding that it was special to have a storyline with two characters who are very popular but never have to get into the ring to resolve the issue.
“To be able to have a storyline and two characters who are very popular, to never have to get into the ring for a match but yet still hold this really unique, compelling, off-putting, kind of weird…he wants his soul, what does that mean?” The Rock said. I love it and loved every minute of it.”
