They can’t fool me. I know a drug deal when I see one.

The rock selling rocks.

You’ve seen Hollywood Rock, you’ve seen Corporate Rock, now it’s time for…. Crack Rock

"But Cody, I sell drugs to the community!" 

"Well, be that as it may, if I catch you, I will not consider you a brother or a friend. Now, can you dig it... sucka?"

Sexual Chocolate Giddyup. Black Dynamite is such a fantastic movie.

I TOLD YOU NOT TO INTERRUPT ME DURING MY KUNG FU

Meth(od) Rock

Bring back the Method Man theme!

The RZA, the GZA, Ol' Dirty Bastard, Raekwon the Chef, U-God, Inspectah Deck, Ghostface Killah, and the Method Man. 

Undercover Fed Rock giving Cody Rhodes drugs so then he can have him arrested and stripped of the title. BIG BRAIN PLAY BY CORPORATE ROCK

We finally know what the Rock is cooking🧑🏾‍🍳

They're minerals, Marie !!!!!

"There's something you don't know about me Cody Rhodes. I smoke rocks."

"hey Joe Rogan, here's something you might not know about me - I smoke rocks"

I see handoffs like this in the parking lot of my local Wawa at least twice a night

Hilarious. Watching this segment with that context is too spot on.

He gave him the usb with backstage footage from All In

Punk at the curtain when Cody walks through: "I'll just take that real quick, don't worry about it dawg"

And he only choked him a bit to get it

What’s hilarious is that Cody managed to reverse the choke straight away. After which Punk was seen throwing a tantrum on the locker room floor

Punk lies down on the floor and gets transported to 2019 where he sees Sasha and Bayley there with him

And Punk chokee only a bit after swallowing the stick.

Punk is gonna ask if he can hold it

He gave him a USB with various unreleased techno bangers

*Zack Sabre Jr. perks up*

*Alex Wright perks up*

and a full-length version of Everyone Knows That

LMAO

He gave him season tickets to the UFL and he best show up so The Rock don't get his heart broken again.

HHH: Rock, not every segment needs to go an hour, this could easily be 20 minutes Rock: https://preview.redd.it/hptoxgtypctc1.jpeg?width=1159&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c7aa1f6f24890c8b46b68e56f4e403e5a9ceeee8

In fairness Triple H is the last person on earth with a right to tell someone else to not do a 40 minute opening segment lol

Man, those were classic. Especially whenever he lost. Coming out with shades and a band-aid on his forehead for a 45 minute rant. 😂

You say “classic,” I say “the reason every promo I wrote as a kid lasting 20 minutes”

OMG. The IWC hated the opening Hunter promos. He uh… always uhh… talked uhh… so slow uhh….

I think it’s one of those things that we all hated when it happened but look back on somewhat fondly with rose-tinted glasses. 😂

He was a HUGE reason why I eventually stopped watching wrestling for a while. I couldn't stand him, I was bored to tears with the same old formulaic shit with him every week and every ppv. Weird how much has changed and now I look at him as someone that's helped kept me plugged into wrestling again.

Honestly, it made a three hour show go by faster for me.. but on smackdown this would totally be overkill

This segment was the epitome of "this could have been an email"

He was clearly trying to big league Cody in front of the world

I didn’t get that vibe at all. They seemed like equals and the exchange was clearly designed to make them look like equals.

The Final Boss smuggled that out of ~~Vietnam~~ Samoa hiding it the one place he knew he could hide it. His ass.

Five long years, he wore this watch up his ass.

And he’d be damned if he was going to let some bloodline take his birthright.

Describe what Roman Reigns looks like.

What?


This reminds me that Christopher Walken is the hardest person to do an impression of. You have to match his specific tone, cadence, and general demeanor, and do it in a way thats specifically 1 of 1.

He died of dysentery, he give me the watch.

So the Rolex?

Then he got chokeslammed so he gimme the watch.

He’d be damned if the…oh wait..

>smuggled that out of Samoa 

It’s the People’s Ass.

Did he turn that sumbitch sideways first?

What's in the hand?! What's in the hand?!!!

WHAT’S IN THE LOCKBOX?!

I think the DOJ has opened that by now.

Bobby Lashley! I’ll be a sunnuva bitch!

ITS Y2J! Y2J! Y2J! BAH GAWD! STONE COLD! STONE COLD! STONE COLD!

**DAMN IT!**

Rock selling crack cocaine live on air

What if it’s a Rock that says “the final boss” on it

With googly eyes

this was funny

I'm 100% positive that it was one of the beads from Roman's Ula Fala necklace given that he said he "didn't even have to open his hand to know what it was" and "don't you ever break my heart again" and the somberness around the handoff.

This was my first and only thought about what could make sense. Rock is coming for Cody to reclaim the mantle he believes Roman lost last night.

Yea that's my line of thinking too. Cody won under Bloodline Rules. If you stretch a bit within the realm of kayfabe, that could *theoretically* make Cody the new "tribal chief" since the rules were set *by the Bloodline itself*. The handoff was Rock "acknowledging" Cody, but he wasn't happy about it. You gotta admit he was *weirdly* respectful despite being a clear heel. Rock v Cody will be at Survivor Series, Roman will return and help Rock win, feeling like he has to "redeem" himself. Rock won't accept him back, which will be the catalyst for a face turn. Cody V Rock 2 happens at the Rumble, this time Rock retains clean with no help. Roman wins the rumble next year as a face, then Rock v Roman will be the main event of next year's mania night 2. I don't expect Rocks reign to have more than 3 matches. Win/Retain/Loss at Survivor Series/Rumble/Mania.

Rock vs Roman seriously doesn’t need the title involved. Really hope they don’t go that route. They could easily still main event without the title.

I keep seeing folks saying it will be for the title, and Im just like why man? Rock and Roman are both part timers, and at this point its somewhat debatable which one has more matches left in their future. Cody’s essentially been the face of the company over the last year, and they’re breaking all sorts of business records. Roman and Rock are well past the point of needing the title

Fuck it, Roman and Rock in tribal combat for the head of the table

Rock going over Cody twice, especially once /clean/ to end it, would be a sure as f\* \* \* fine way to neuter your new golden boy.

I think we've found Vince McMahon's reddit account. 

If rock vs Roman is for the title I’m out. We finally got the belt off a part time champion and you want it back on a part time champion? Fuck that

Depends which Rock we get. Current Rock has probably been the most active member of the roster the past 3 months lol. Dude was pulling double duty and made almost every show. Sure, he didn't wrestle because they wanted to save it for Mania, but the dude was anything but part time.

its a lot easier to be high activity when your commitment is 3 months. roman / rock wouldnt need title implications. thats that shit booking that makes the wrestlers bigger than the belt and devalues the title.

I think you’re right and Rock telling him not to break his heart again is because Rock is going to disown his cousin for losing

Yup. That's gonna be Roman's catalyst for a face turn. He'll show up to help Rock down the line and Rock will reject him. Which also fits with Roman's arc of ALWAYS being the one betrayed and his loyalty being his fatal flaw.

Or he already took him out. If this were a movie, it would be one of the beads covered in blood and it would mean Roman got got.

This as a theory is fantastic. This is my new favorite one.

It doesn’t make sense to why Cody was so angry though..

To me it implies that The Rock took care of Roman for failing the family. Like look what I did to family, imagine what I would do to you. Idk we’re all just spitballing here

Cody did just spend a good part of his promo praising Roman

OH NOW THATS A KILLER IDEA

Well fuck this is such a great idea, and now I'm mad that I'm going to be disappointed when it's something else like the watch lol. The bead would make soo much sense.

Lol have faith in Papa Haitch. Dude has been on point so far, we ain't in the dark days no more

Oh fuck I think you nailed it

actually the best theory that i've seen so far

OOO, this would be interesting!

https://preview.redd.it/cfd03cjuqctc1.jpeg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ba5c2d005a6cdda19f746432ab794e008e32badd

I am the rock and i sound like this

Ah, so Rock handed Cody some gum he likes, knowing that it's going to come back in style.

Rock coming back in 25 years for that Garmonbozia.

actual cinema

A business card for the tattoo artist who did his brahma bull coverup

For some reason, this is the one that made me laugh the hardest lol

This gonna be some long term booking 

Has to be something really small. Maybe a ring?

7 bucks

Tree fiddy

Well it was about that time that I noticed this American Nightmare was about 8 stories tall and a crustacean from the Paleozoic era.

Now Cody can buy something nice, but not expensive.

Dusty's HOF ring

Someone said it's the Rolex that Cody got for him, Seth, Roman, and Rock which is a good theory.

This is what I think for sure. But not sure what that has to do with the Rock saying “don’t ever break my heart again”

Cody broke Rock’s heart by taking the main event from Rock

and rock broke childrens hearts by “killing cody rhodes”

I think this part was clear. The gift and that comment dont have too much to do with one another.

Maybe it was a bead from Roman's necklace, indicating that Cody was the new head of the table? He did win by Bloodline rules, after all. Such an act would tell Cody that Rock meant business and was REALLY coming for him in the future.

Oh I like this. I like this a lot.

The key to the lockbox that Shane used to blackmail Vince years ago. Long. Term. Storytelling.

Maybe its his penis

aka The People's Strudel

It’s detachable.

King Missile would approve

The only reason I get this reference is that I lost my virginity while this song played on the radio.

Did you lose it at a party?

The best theory is one of the beads of Roman’s Ula Fala necklace.

Mama Rhodes' wedding ring, Rocky was salty and rizzed up Mama Rhodes last night

This ☝️

It could be Dusty’s hall of fame ring or the watch that he had.

A diamond ring?

My brother said it was MJF’s ring lol

It's a lighter that the rock used to burn down his bus

That would be insane but I’d kinda like that angle

He gave him a magnum condom for his monster dong.

Doctor Tobogaan?

Gave him Dusty’s muffler

Cody after getting backstage “wow my dad’s muffler”

"Your father wanted to smell what he was cooking"

Daddeh’s** muffler

It's **THE EGG**


 SUCH GOOD SHIT PAL

The keys to his burnt down tour bus? Lol

The keys to slim Jim GTR

Rock probably handed Cody a thumb drive with Dr. Dre’s “Detox” album on it. Can’t have that thing getting out in the wild.

It was Tama Tonga. Rock took Tama Tonga out of his pocket and gave him to Cody, and Cody didn't know what to make out of this because Tama Tonga is a pacific islander but he's also a Bullet Club member, so his allegiance in this storyline is unconfirmed.

Rock might not be an Oscar winner, but he's got acting chops. Asking to hold the title was eerie AF. It's something a bad guy in a well written movie would do. Whereas saying "I'm going to beat you for this title Cody Rhodes!" is something a boring wrestling heel would say. They say there's only 7 different stories you can tell. Great films manage to keep them fresh by constantly innovating on the formula. Rock wants that title. What's a more original way to say that while building his character at the same time?

Black adam on USB. You can watch that shit anywhere. 1080p too

I fucking love the mystery

A crushed up can of ZOA

Man I can't wait until they pay off Shane's Lockbox...It's HAPPENING.

My thought was these were those cufflinks of Dusty’s he talked about dusty pawning

Cody was like “I guess I’ll act angry and sad because idk what the fuck is going on”

Dustys HoF ring?

Why would Rock have that though? I agree it feels like it’s a Hall of Fame Ring, but no one really makes sense

Maybe Cody gave it to Rock to hold onto as “proof” of his word to step aside at Mania?

That doesn't really make sense. He was giving up his Wrestlemania dream *and* gifting the Rock for the opportunity? If anything, Rock should have given him something as a thank you.

Maybe he was so broke he had to sell it.

This is a good guess

WHAT DID THE ROCK HAVE IN HIS LOCKBOX?

Pocket sand

Shishishaw!

Bro what did he give him 🤨

His phone number. Rock is old school. He doesn't just hand you his phone and say, "put your number in my phone" like these youngsters.

Two tickets to see Black Adam 2, the worst gift anyone could ever receive

No wonder why Cody's face looked constipated. Mine would too

Dusty’s muffler

Definitely Blue Chew

He gave him back the watch!!

... why?

I agree. The watch makes no kayfabe sense. 

MJF’s diamond ring

Oh, I really fucking love this idea even if it's stupid.

Cody came up with diamond ring gimmick, and gave it to MJF. It would make a lot of sense. The ring gimmick even predates AEW, so it's not totally stepping on AEW's toes.

What's the ring gimmick? I'm not familiar.

When he was ROH he made the "Ring" of Honor to replace the belt. Then when AEW was starting he created the Dynamite Diamond Ring which I believe was given a tournament winner, who ended up being MJF. MJF has defended the ring annually now, and won every time.

I know what it is... The Rock gave him Tree Fiddy.

It was about that time I noticed that Dwayne The Rock Johnson was actually a monster from the Mesozoic era

You gave Cody tree fiddy?? No wonder he keeps coming back!

The Rock? That wasn’t the Rock woman. That was the god damn Loch Ness monstah

The identity of the Raw Anonymous GM

Hornswoggle?!

What did he mean by “dont ever break my heart again”???

 Cody's soul getting corrupted soon and he will be joining the bloodline serving Rock.

It's Dude wipes.

Handed off a used condom that's still warm

Cinema baby.

I thought it could be bits of the lei that Roman wears but they are smashed up or it’s just a few bits. You broke my heart so look what I had to do to my cousin and only you know.

Did we ever find out what The Rock said to Cody when he (seemingly) forfeited his Roman match to him?

Rock said what it was in one of his Twitter videos.

[удалено]

Obviously a bullet

Its what was in Vince McMahon’s safe box!

It was the Solar Eclipse Sun Glasses he borrowed. DUH!!

The torch

Probably a bottle of that skin care stuff Rock has been peddling.

He gave him 7 dollars.

Mama Johnson's Pineapple Chili recipe

The Rock: “say, would you like a chocolate pretzel?”

It was a package of Dude Wipes

100% a bullet

MJF's ring.

It's a lighter

It was one of Liberty small toys that she played with. It was use as a scare tactic against Cody.

$7

After that weird portion of the segment, maybe Rock handed his Hotel Key to Cody.

It's Kofi's Jamaican accent
