At Raw after ‘Mania, Johnson would tease a major future rivalry with Rhodes. The Rock would announce his departure from WWE, but before that, he would drop a warning to the former AEW star. Grabbing The American Nightmare’s title, he expressed his desire to hold it one day.

He would further explain that while Rhodes’ story with Reigns has come to an end, his story with The American Nightmare is just beginning. Before walking out, The Brahma Bull would hand a hidden item to Rhodes, and ask him to not break his heart again.

While this was a major tease of the upcoming rivalry between Cody Rhodes and Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson, The American Nightmare’s next challenge is yet to be revealed. Roman Reigns is expected to be on a hiatus, and The Rock has his busy schedule to attend.
