Johnson called Rhodes ‘an accident’ for being 20 years younger than his two siblings.
Night one of WrestleMania 40 on April 6 is set to feature an epic tag-team match between Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Roman Reigns against Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins, which just heated up after the way Friday Night SmackDown ended,
Johnson was in the ring with Reigns and Rhodes in the final segment of Friday night’s show when he called his opponent “an accident” for being the third child.
Rhodes did not take the comment kindly, especially because it became personal, since The Rock said being born 20 years after his two older siblings makes him an unwanted child.
After Rhodes slapped Johnson, the broadcast ended, leaving the tension to boil into next time the pair share the ring.
