Cody is being harmed by them,” Solomon said, and added . “This is a mess.”
Like many wrestling fans, Solomon is perplexed by the way WWE has presented Dusty Rhodes and his narrative, which had him rethinking his original plan to win the WWE Championship—a title that had eluded his father.The match started with a surprising challenge from Seth Rollins, and then fans were shocked by Rhodes’ first-ever choice to step aside and let The Rock to face Reigns.
Many believed that information about who will face whom on the largest stage in wrestling would be revealed at the WrestleMania Kickoff press conference. The media representative, however, gave the proverb “Card subject to change” a little leeway.
The hour-long press event culminated when Rollins sought a response from Rhodes regarding his challenge for the World Heavyweight title at WrestleMania. However, Reigns intervened, claiming Rhodes’ indecision cost him his moment against the Tribal Chief, and asserted his authority to decide his opponent.
From there, Reigns announced his choice to face The Rock, who promptly accepted the challenge while making derogatory remarks towards Rhodes’ supporters. Rhodes, perhaps feeling slighted, arrived and called the situation “bullshit” before deciding to redeem his Royal Rumble win for a shot at Reigns’ title. Tensions escalated as The Rock slapped Rhodes, provoking a heated reaction before authority figures, including Paul “Triple H” Levesque, came to defuse the situation.
