The Rock has made pro wrestling cool and exciting – again.
The Rock has made pro wrestling unpredictable and he’s changed the game and raised the bar – again.

Before turning his attention to The Rock, Rhodes spoke about the impending event at the start of the show. As earlier explained, Dwayne Johnson has vowed to exact a particular punishment on Dustin Rhodes’ younger brother as Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins prepare to take on The Rock and theBloodline at WrestleMania.
Now, Dustin Rhodes (viaCageside Seats) gave a not-so-charming yet brief response, in contrast to the Hollywood megastar.
“F*** The Rock.”
His nephews, who are not at odds with The Bloodline, demonstrated their strength by interacting verbally with the RWA Outlaws, their rivals. Wayne Rhodes stated:
“Y’all throwing all these words around, talking all this talk, but let me tell you, matches are not won outside the ring, they’re won inside the ring. That’s where me and Wyatt are going to show you where the real work is done, especially in Texas. Y’all are sitting on y’all’s as doing nothing while me and Wyatt are on our Ranch, getting our hands dirty suplexing cows, working our as off to prepare for this match.”
When the bell rang, Wayne and Wyatt, the Texas Outlaws, honored their family legacy by putting on a show of hard work. Cutting the ring in half, the brothers displayed excellent teamwork by performing double-team moves like dropkicks, Russian takeovers, and stereo Stinger splashes. They gave it their all, but in the end, the RWA Outlaws outmaneuvered them and won the next two falls to capture the RWA Tag Team Championships for the first time.

The Rhodes brothers are not a threat to the Bloodline at this time, but in the future, they might become fierce competitors for both the Samoan dynasty and the industry at large.
The 40th edition of WrestleMania, dubbed WrestleMania XL, will happen over two nights on April 6 and 7, 2024, at Pennsylvania’s Lincoln Financial Field.
