The Rock Finally Reveals What Cody Rhodes Gave Him Before WrestleMania Match

The Rock isn’t just rolling into SmackDown tonight to drop a WrestleMania 42 bombshell—he’s also bringing some personal history with him. Ahead of his Friday Night SmackDown return, The Final Boss took to Twitter to unveil a symbolic gift he received from Cody Rhodes just hours before their WrestleMania 40 match last year.

“NEW ORLEANS, the Final Boss has arrived ✈️,” The Rock posted, sharing a video of a Rolex ticking away. He then revealed, “This exact Rolex was the gift from our @WWE Champion @CodyRhodes to me, about 5 hours before our Wrestlemania match at WM40. It’s time.”

The meaning behind “It’s time” remains unclear, but the timing of the post has fans speculating about whether The Great One is about to make a major declaration regarding his WWE future. With reports confirming that he’s in New Orleans to officially announce WrestleMania 42 at the Superdome next year, the question remains—does The Rock have unfinished business in the ring?

WWE has already shaken up tonight’s SmackDown lineup to make room for The Rock’s segment, even canceling Naomi vs. Liv Morgan to ensure he gets the spotlight. With WWE setting up a post-SmackDown press conference, it seems like the pieces are in place for something much bigger than just a venue announcement.

Is this Rolex a message to Cody Rhodes? Is The Rock finally stepping into the WrestleMania 41 spotlight? Drop your thoughts below!
