The Rock made his return to WWE during the Day 1 episode of RAW on January 1st. He gave Cody Rhodes credit later on, but the two are certainly not on the same page now.
WrestleMania 40 will go down on April 6 and 7. The Rock is slated to make his return to the ring in a tag team match. That was not the original plan for The Rock’s Mania match, and you can find details about how that drama to change the show of shows went down.
Cody Rhodes opened up WWE RAW’s March 25 episode in Chicago with a promo about his road to WrestleMania. Then The Rock joined him, but things did not develop into any kind of verbal warfare at all.
The Rock’s Silent Promo
Fans in Chicago were on fire for Cody Rhodes’ promo. He got everyone in the building to point at the WrestleMania sign, a sign of solidarity as he faces two nights of stiff competition in April.
Suddenly, The Rock’s music hit and The Final Boss emerged. The Windy City crowd popped again as the Hollywood juggernaut made his way to the way.

Fans were expecting a promo from The Rock, but he did not say a word. Instead, stood in the ring, silent, staring Cody Rhodes down. Neither of them had a microphone in their hands.
The two stood there for a couple of minutes, and several chants, including “CM Punk” broke out. Then, The Rock simply walked over to Cody, whispered something to him, and left.

Fans booed Dwayne Johnson as he left the ring, as they didn’t see any physical confrontation. They also didn’t get to hear him say a word in the microphone. Cody Rhodes was left in the ring, silent, looking perplexed, but still ready for a fight.
After the commercial break, The Rock was asked what he told Cody in the ring, and he said, “Go ask Cody Rhodes,” before walking off.

WrestleMania 40 Plans
Cody Rhodes and The Rock will finally have a chance to throw down during the first night of WrestleMania 40. They will be involved in a tag team match, where Cody and Seth Rollins will take on Rock and Roman Reigns.
The winner of that tag team match will determine the stipulation for the Undisputed Universal Title match the next night. As of this writing, The Rock is not announced for any more WWE appearances or matches after Mania.
