The Final Boss made his presence felt on Raw After Mania and
was part of a 45-minute opening segment which was extended
mainly due to the fans’ refusal to allow Rock speak.
The Rock interrupted Cody Rhodes’ celebration first to
thunderous cheers and then to even more thunderous boos and
chants. Fans did not allow him to speak as they booed
heavily every time he raised the microphone to talk,
interrupting him with chants such as “Rocky sucks” and “Shut
the f*ck up.”
The People’s Champion couldn’t help but crack a smile at
times as the back and forth with Cody – and the fans –
continued.
But after saying that he will be leaving for a while, The
Rock made it perfectly clear that when he returns, he’s
coming for Cody no matter if he is the champion or not. He
said that Cody’s story with Roman is finished, but their
story is just getting started.
Before he left, The Rock gave something to Cody when he
shook his hand, something that made Cody very emotional, and
Rock told him to never break his heart again. What Rock gave
Cody was never revealed.
The long segment also featured a bit where Rock wanted to
hold Cody’s title, with Cody agreeing on the condition that
he lets him hold his People’s Championship that was given to
him at the Hall of Fame. The exchange resulted in the rowdy
crowd to chant “This is awkward.”
