Following his heartbreaking loss to John Cena at WrestleMania 41, Cody Rhodes made his first appearance on SmackDown. Earlier this year, in February, The Rock had offered Cody the chance to “sell his soul” and align with him. However, Cody turned down the offer during the Elimination Chamber event—an action that came with consequences.

At The Rock’s behest, John Cena shocked the WWE Universe by turning heel and betraying Cody. This led to Cody losing the Undisputed WWE Championship to Cena at WrestleMania 41, ending his remarkable 378-day title reign. Now back on SmackDown, Cody had a surprising update regarding The Rock’s offer.

What Did Cody Rhodes Say?

The main event segment of SmackDown featured Cody Rhodes, John Cena, Jey Uso, and Logan Paul in a fiery face-off. Fans erupted in support as Cody addressed the WWE Universe. To everyone’s surprise, Cody revealed that despite repeatedly declining The Rock’s proposal, the offer still stands.

He admitted that he could still “sell his soul” to The Rock and hinted that this might happen in the future. This revelation shocked fans and has fueled speculation about a potential face-off between Cody Rhodes and The Rock in the coming months. Cody’s tone indicated a growing temptation to accept the offer, hinting at a possible major storyline twist.

Chaos Unfolds in the SmackDown Main Event

The SmackDown main event segment spiraled into mayhem. Cody called out Jey Uso, which was followed by the arrival of John Cena and Logan Paul. Cena mocked Cody while showering Logan Paul with praise, calling him the future of WWE. Paul echoed the sentiment, saying he never imagined he’d team up with Cena.

Tensions quickly escalated into a wild brawl. Cody and Jey teamed up to overpower Cena and Logan Paul. In a symbolic moment, Cody held up the Undisputed WWE Championship, signaling that his rivalry with Cena is far from over. Cody made it clear that he’s not backing down and a rematch between Cena and Cody could be on the horizon.
