A former WWE employee has expressed concerns about a potential controversy that could have occurred during the Rock and Cody Rhodes’ segment on RAW. The ex-employee, identified as Vince Russo, a former head writer for WWE, believes that a significant sabotage and a rematch could have affected the highly anticipated face-off between the two wrestling superstars.
During the segment, which took place on Monday night, The Rock confronted Cody Rhodes as he celebrated his recent championship win at WrestleMania XL. The intense exchange saw the two stars exchanging their titles back and forth, with The Rock informing Rhodes that he would be taking a break but would return in the future.
In a recent clip from Russo’s Brand, Vince Russo discussed how the segment would have unfolded during WWE’s Attitude Era. According to Russo, in that era, The Rock would have utilized his authority within the management to strip Cody Rhodes of his title, citing a misinterpretation of the rules. Russo further suggested that an immediate rematch would have taken place on the same night, in line with the unpredictable nature of the Attitude Era.
The concerns raised by the former WWE employee highlight a hypothetical scenario where the clash between The Rock and Cody Rhodes could have been marred by controversy and subsequent rematch, adding an extra layer of unpredictability to the segment.
Since the segment on RAW, Cody Rhodes has addressed the confrontation during an episode of SmackDown, expressing his readiness to face The Rock whenever the latter decides to return and challenge for the title.
While the hypothetical scenario proposed by Vince Russo remains a matter of speculation, it offers an intriguing perspective on what could have unfolded during The Rock and Cody Rhodes’ segment on RAW. The opinions of former WWE insiders contribute to the ongoing discussions and speculations surrounding professional wrestling and its potential storylines.
