Heading into RAW, Cody Rhodes needed to deliver a strong rebuttal to Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and the American Nightmare certainly succeeded in that respect.
Addressing The Rock's recent comments about being everyone's "favourite heel," Rhodes said, "Rock, I don’t think you’re a heel. I think you’re an asshole." Accusing the Brahma Bull of crying backstage to his friends on the TKO board to steal his WrestleMania main event, Rhodes pointed out that The Rock thought his WWE return would be a great PR move...until it wasn't.
Calling him a "carnie succubus" and a "whiny bitch," Rhodes defended his mother and made it clear WWE doesn't need the future Hall of Famer.
Doubting The Rock will be able to do what's necessary in the ring when WrestleMania rolls around, Rhodes says he hopes Johnson will bring some "Big Dwayne Energy" to the Show of Shows...instead of his "Little Dick Syndrome" (which led to chants of "LDS" from fans).
After crediting The Rock's writer Brian Gerwitz for coming up with his new "Final Boss" moniker, Rhodes declared that, at WrestleMania, all Dwayne will be is Roman Reigns' "side chick."
That brought Paul Heyman to the ring and an agreement was made for Rhodes to come to SmackDown alone on Friday for his one-on-one confrontation with the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion.
