It’s quite remarkable how professional wrestling seamlessly mixes real-life drama with made-up stories to keep everyone hooked. Fans absolutely love the scripted trash-talking and epic fights between their favorite wrestling stars.
This past weekend, WWE delivered another unforgettable moment during their Hall of Fame ceremony, where the lines between reality and performance were blurred. And it wasn’t just limited to the two rivals.
The Hall of Fame ceremony is typically a time for celebrating wrestling’s greatest stars. However, this year, things got a bit heated when The Rock ended up butting heads with a fan of Cody Rhodes.
The Rock’s Clash with Cody Rhodes Passionate Fan
The Rock‘s speech at the Hall of Fame ceremony was really moving, especially when he talked about his grandmother. But things took a serious turn when he brought up Cody Rhodes.
He made it clear that their upcoming match at WrestleMania wasn’t just about business—it had personal meaning. This had everyone on edge. And then, out of the blue, something unexpected happened with a fan in the audience, adding even more drama to the scene.
As The Brahma Bull was leaving the stage, a fan shouted out in support of The American Nightmare, saying, “Cody’s coming for you. It’s over!” This seemed to get to the Hollywood star, who muttered something back before sternly saying, “Watch your f***ing mouth,” and then walking off.

Although the fan’s outburst might seem random, it’s probably a smart move by the WWE. By blurring the lines between what’s real and kayfabe (professional wrestling’s staged elements), they’ve made everyone even more excited about the upcoming WrestleMania match.

The two professional wrestlers have been in a heated feud for weeks on WWE TV. It all started when Rhodes reclaimed his WrestleMania XL main event spot, which he had given up on an episode of SmackDown. Johnson was not happy with Rhodes’ actions, which sparked a feud between the two top stars.
The feud is set to culminate at WrestleMania XL Night 1. Rhodes will team up with Seth Rollins in a blockbuster tag match against The Rock and Roman Reigns. Rhodes appears prepared to take on The Bloodline at The Show of Shows.
WrestleMania XL will be available for live streaming on Peacock in the US on April 6 and April 7, starting at 7 pm (ET).
