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.”
