Mama Rhodes will be prepared for anything at WrestleMania 40 after her name was brought up by The Rock during the March 25, episode of Monday Night Raw.
During the show, The Rock delivered the beating of a lifetime on Cody Rhodes which did not stop once the show went off the air. The Rock dared the matriarch of the Rhodes family to look at her son and had a weight belt emblazoned with \'Mama Rhodes.\' The Rock smeared this belt with Cody\'s blood, fulfilling a promise made before the show to have a special belt with Cody\'s mother.
Mama Rhodes is Ready
Unlike her son and late husband, Mama Rhodes, whose real name is Michelle, is not a name in the world of professional wrestling. On a recent edition of Busted Open Radio, Cody\'s sister Teil shared her mom\'s reaction to being thrust into the limelight thanks to being referenced on WWE shows.
\"She gets it, but she doesn’t love it. You know what I mean? She’s up on Tuesday morning and her phone is just blowing up with all these like people, she hasn’t heard from in 25 years.\
While Mama Rhodes isn\'t the biggest fan of becoming an internationally-known figure, she\'s heard what The Rock has had to say, and is prepared to deal with the Final Boss.
\"\'The Rock\'s talking about you on TV\'... She\'s mad. She said she was going to bring her bear spray to \'Mania.
What\'s to Come?
Bear spray or no bear spray, Mama Rhodes will have the chance to watch her son compete twice at WrestleMania 40. Cody will team with Seth Rollins on WrestleMania 40: Saturday to face The Rock & Roman Reigns. The match will determine the stipulation for the next night\'s main event.
On WrestleMania 40: Sunday, Rhodes will challenge Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship. This will be Rhodes\' last chance at the Tribal Chief, an edict passed down by The Rock flexing his TKO board member muscles.
