The Rock\'s beef with Cody Rhodes may not culminate with a match between the two, according to the Final Boss. Speaking after his appearance on WWE SmackDown, The Rock shared his mentality when it comes to going one-on-one with the American Nightmare.
\"The Final Boss and Cody Rhodes, it’s not about the WWE title, it isn’t about a match, it isn’t about bleeding or anything like that that’s part of our world. It never has to culminate into a match.\
The Rock shared that the fact that his feud with Rhodes is so \'personal\' that it may not end with a match is a \"very special place\" from a creative standpoint. The Brahma Bull is ready to have \"fun\" with Rhodes, even if a match isn\'t in the works, and The Rock also highlighted that this angle gives the chance to develop \"creatively, character-wise.\"
The Rock\'s comments about a match, or lack thereof, contrast greatly with early plans for WrestleMania 41. While for a time, a match between the two seemed a guarantee, it now appears that the pair\'s WrestleMania 40 tag match will be the only time the two lock horns in a match.
On SmackDown, The Rock said he wants Cody\'s soul, and in essence, intends for the American Nightmare to work under him and do his bidding. The Rock has given Rhodes until Elimination Chamber to give an answer, an event that The Rock will be in attendance for.
Elimination Chamber will also see Rhodes learn who he\'ll face at WrestleMania 41, but with The Rock\'s involvement, fans can\'t count out meddling from The Final Boss. No matter what\'s to come, WWE Elimination Chamber will prove to be a pivotal point on Rhodes\' road to WrestleMania.
