The Rock returned to WWE on Monday, appearing on the RAW on Netflix premiere, then following that up with an appearance on NXT on Tuesday night. The appearances have set off speculation regarding what role The Rock will play at WrestleMania 41.
On a recent episode of Kliq This (h/t WrestlingInc), Kevin Nash spoke about who he thinks The Rock will face at WWE’s biggest show, WrestleMania 41.
“I think he’s one of those people that loves to work,” Nash said. “You’re gonna work against Cody [Rhodes]. Cody’s not gonna hurt you.”
Nash explained that since Cody has already proven to be trustworthy when it comes to wrestling The Rock without injuring him, he makes sense as an opponent, going as far as saying that if he was two years younger, he would trust Cody enough to wrestle him.
The Rock pinned Cody in a tag team match at WrestleMania 40 Night One, but Cody got the last laugh, defeating Roman Reigns to win the Undisputed WWE Title on Night Two.
