The Rock Gives Gifts To Cody Rhodes Ahead Of \’Soul\’ Decision

ByThomas LowsonProfessional Wrestling Journalist

At WWE Elimination Chamber: Toronto, The Rock hopes that Cody Rhodes will make \’the right choice\’ and give up his soul to The Final Boss. On the February 28, edition of WWE SmackDown, The Rock made his last-ditch attempt to win over the Undisputed WWE Champion by showing him what life would be like as The Rock\’s champion.

Rhodes arrived to the arena flanked by security, who escorted him to a private dressing room. There, the American Nightmare received first-class treatment, including a bounty of food (some of which had already been consumed by R-Truth.)

Later in the show, Rhodes was gifted an American Nightmare-branded truck, another gift from the man who hopes Cody makes\’ the \’right\’ decision. The Rock then appeared via video to share that he and Cody had been speaking, and both had spoken with Cody\’s late father Dusty. The Rock ended with another gift for Rhodes, a weight belt with \’Cody\’s Soul\’ and June 11, 2015 emblazoned upon it. That date is significant for being the day Dusty Rhodes died.
