The WWE Universe was shocked when The Rock slapped Cody Rhodes at the WrestleMania 40 press event in Las Vegas on Thursday night. The incident sparked a heated confrontation between The Rock, Roman Reigns, and Triple H, who was also present at the event. On Friday night, Triple H addressed the situation on SmackDown and revealed the consequences of The Rock’s actions.

The Rock slaps Cody Rhodes after he challenges Roman Reigns

The press event was supposed to be a celebration of the upcoming WrestleMania 40, which will take place on April 2 and 3 at the SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles. The event featured some of the biggest stars of WWE, including The Rock, Roman Reigns, Cody Rhodes, Seth Rollins, Bayley, IYO SKY, and more.

The main attraction of the event was the announcement of the main event of WrestleMania 40, which was expected to be a dream match between The Rock and Roman Reigns, the two members of the Anoa’i family. However, things took an unexpected turn when Cody Rhodes interrupted the announcement and declared that he will face Roman Reigns for the WWE Championship at WrestleMania 40.

Cody Rhodes, who won the Royal Rumble match in January, said that he has the right to choose his opponent for WrestleMania 40, and he chose Roman Reigns, who he defeated at WrestleMania 36. He said that he wants to prove that he is the best wrestler in the world, and that he is not afraid of The Rock or Roman Reigns.

Roman Reigns, who is the current WWE Champion and the leader of The Bloodline, was not amused by Cody Rhodes’ challenge. He said that Cody Rhodes is a disrespectful and ungrateful punk, who does not deserve to be in the same ring as him or The Rock. He also insulted Cody Rhodes’ late father, Dusty Rhodes, and said that he is a disgrace to his legacy.

The Rock, who is the cousin of Roman Reigns and a member of the WWE Board of Directors, tried to calm down the situation and said that he respects Cody Rhodes as a wrestler and a person. He said that he understands Cody Rhodes’ ambition and passion, but he also said that he should not disrespect Roman Reigns or his family. He said that he and Roman Reigns have a bond that goes beyond wrestling, and that they are proud of their heritage and their legacy.

He then asked Cody Rhodes to reconsider his decision and let him and Roman Reigns have their match at WrestleMania 40, which he said would be a historic and epic encounter. He said that he and Roman Reigns have been waiting for this match for a long time, and that the fans deserve to see it. He said that he and Roman Reigns are not enemies, but brothers, and that they want to put on a show for the WWE Universe.

However, Cody Rhodes refused to back down and said that he does not care about The Rock or Roman Reigns, or their family. He said that he only cares about himself and his legacy, and that he wants to be the WWE Champion. He said that he does not need The Rock’s respect or approval, and that he is not intimidated by him or Roman Reigns. He said that he is the best wrestler in the world, and that he will prove it at WrestleMania 40.

He then said that if The Rock and Roman Reigns are so proud of their family, they should ask their ancestors what they think of them. He said that if their ancestors were here, they would be disgusted by Roman Reigns’ behavior and his abuse of power. He said that Roman Reigns is a coward and a bully, who hides behind his family and his cronies. He said that Roman Reigns is not a true champion, but a fraud and a disgrace.

This enraged The Rock, who slapped Cody Rhodes across the face, causing a loud gasp from the crowd and the media. The Rock then said that Cody Rhodes crossed the line, and that he will pay for his words and his actions. He said that Cody Rhodes made a big mistake, and that he will regret it for the rest of his life. He said that Cody Rhodes does not know who he is messing with, and that he will unleash the fury of The Rock and The Bloodline on him.

He then said that he accepts Cody Rhodes’ challenge, and that he will face him at WrestleMania 40, along with Roman Reigns. He said that it will be a triple threat match for the WWE Championship, and that he and Roman Reigns will team up to destroy Cody Rhodes. He said that he and Roman Reigns will show Cody Rhodes what it means to be a part of the Anoa’i family, and what it means to be a WWE Champion. He said that he and Roman Reigns will make history at WrestleMania 40, and that Cody Rhodes will be history.

Triple H announces the punishment for The Rock

The slap from The Rock sparked a brawl between The Rock, Roman Reigns, and Cody Rhodes, which had to be separated by security and other WWE officials. Among them was Triple H, who is the Chief Content Officer of WWE and the head of SmackDown. Triple H looked furious and disappointed by The Rock’s actions, and he confronted him and Roman Reigns backstage.

Triple H said that he respects The Rock as a legend and a friend, but he also said that he cannot tolerate his behavior. He said that The Rock violated the rules and the code of conduct of WWE, and that he assaulted a fellow wrestler. He said that The Rock abused his power and his position, and that he put the reputation and the integrity of WWE at risk. He said that The Rock’s actions were unacceptable and unprofessional, and that he will face the consequences.

He then said that he will address the situation on SmackDown tonight, and that he will announce the punishment for The Rock. He said that he will also make the official announcement for the main event of WrestleMania 40, and that he will reveal the stipulations for the match.
