Speaking on ESPN’s Get Up, Cody Rhodes was talking about a rare Topps card, and in the trading card, he was confronted by The Rock, where The Final Boss demanded his soul. During the conversation, Rhodes seemingly hinted that the 54-year-old star appears whenever he wants, meaning his return might not be out of the question entirely.

“This is during the period when The Final Boss, The Rock, was asking on television for my soul. I don’t know if it’s still on the line. He appears when he appears,” Rhodes said.

Whether it was a throwaway line or a subtle confirmation, only time will tell.

The Rock has defeated Cody Rhodes in WWE

In 2024, The Rock returned to the Stamford-based promotion for the first time in years for a proper run. The People’s Champion wanted a match with Roman Reigns, but the audience wanted Cody Rhodes in the title scene heading into WrestleMania XL. This forced the management, and The Final Boss was born in February 2024.

In the weeks leading up to WrestleMania XL, The Bloodline did their best to ensure The American Nightmare never made it to the event in Philadelphia. Seth Rollins stood by Cody Rhodes and agreed to face Roman Reigns and The Rock in a tag team match at WrestleMania 40 on Saturday to decide the rules for the main event on Sunday.

During the tag team match, both teams showcased miscommunication, but The Bloodline prevailed as The Rock pinned Cody Rhodes in the middle of the ring to win the tag team match. Regardless, The American Nightmare went on to make history and won the Undisputed WWE Championship from Roman Reigns on Sunday.
