Dwayne Johnson teams with WWE for hilarious Cody Crybabies merch
A line by Johnson that has taken a life of its own is the “Cody Crybabies” title Johnson issued for Rhodes’ fans. This term was first coined on the Pat McAfee show ahead of the WrestleMania XL Kick-off event. This would go on to echo at the event when The Brahman Bull used it on the fans chanting, “We want Cody.” While the “Cody Crybabies” have accepted this term in defiance of The Rock, Johnson one-upped them.
