During the Elimination Chamber, WWE Superstars Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins secured their alliance to stop Roman Reigns and The Rock en route to WrestleMania XL. WWE’s Premium Live Event in Perth, Australia featured a special edition of The Grayson Waller Effect. The American Nightmare and The Visionary made a long but extravagant entrance, and then they were asked about their futures in WrestleMania.
Prior to their respective title fights, both fighters exuded confidence. On the one hand, Seth Rollins stated that he was almost ready to compete medically. He said that he would provide a tough battle to whoever wins the title and emerges from the Elimination Chamber. And now we all know that it would be Drew McIntyre. While Cody Rhodes issued a challenge to the Rock. What was the challenge? Well, here are the details.

Cody Rhodes, who mentioned the slap he received from The Rock in Las Vegas a few weeks ago, declared that it’s time for a new person to get the moniker “The Peoples Champ.” With these reasons in mind, the American Nightmare surprised the audience with a challenge to face The Rock “anytime, anywhere.” The Architect stopped him briefly to assure him that it was time to unite in order to “cut off the head of the snake and stop The Bloodline once and for all.” Austin Theory’s arrogance allowed the segment to close out with the final attacks of Rollins and Rhodes.
It is worth noting that a few days back; The Rock appeared in a video from WWE’s X account to announce two important things. The first was that he would not be present in Perth, Australia, where the Elimination Chamber was being held. Second, he wanted fans to let him know if Rhodes and Rollins verbally attacked Johnson or any member of his family.

The Rock hasn’t provided an answer to the challenge yet. But he did provide fans with the dates of his next appearance on Smackdown. So it is expected that the Bloodline member could answer this challenge next Friday. As he appears in front of the cameras on Friday Night SmackDown.
Paul Heyman launched an attack on Rhodes on the latest episode of Monday Night Raw to further the feud. However, the American Nightmare flipped the script on the Bloodline member as he laid out his attacker. He then declared, “The Bloodline isn’t hunting me. I am hunting The Bloodline.” The former AEW star outlined his intentions to draw blood and dismantle the faction once and for all.
