During the premiere of Moana 2, WWE superstars The Rock and Cody Rhodes captured attention by filming a segment aimed at addressing their ongoing rivalry.
This interaction, reminiscent of a previous reconciliation on Raw, has led to a flurry of speculation among fans. Some see it as a setup for a future match between The Rock and Cody, while others speculate it’s a strategic pivot towards a confrontation with Roman Reigns.
