The Rock went off script and unleashed another X-rated rant and attack on Cody Rhodes after Raw went off the air on Monday.
The pair brawled a bit in what has been considered one of the best finishes to a wrestling show in recent memory. The Rock attacked his rival and left him bloody outside the arena where the show was being filmed in Chicago.
They will go head to head in the main event of the first night of WrestleMania, with The Rock teaming up with his real-life cousin Roman Reigns to take on Rhodes and Seth Rollins in a tag team match.
The match will have major implications for the second night’s main event, which will see Reigns defend his undisputed WWE Universal Title against Rhodes, although the nature of the match will be decided based on who wins the match.
Rhodes and The Rock have been feuding for several weeks, and their rivalry reached new heights on Monday, with the latter continuing off-camera, breaking his silence about why.

The Rock went on another X-rated rant after WWE programming went off the air Monday night.
He left his bitter rival Cody Rhodes in a pile of blood after attacking him at the end of the show.
The Rock then took to social media to explain to fans why the situation “screws me up.”
An alternate angle of the beatdown shows a producer telling the couple that they are off the air, to which The Rock responds, “Fuck that.”
And he continues: ‘Shut your mouth. Wipe my ass. How did that feel? It felt good? What, just because the show ended? That doesn’t mean this shit stops. The Rock doesn’t give a damn.
He then continues to beat Rhodes, hitting him with a belt, before ranting: ‘What? Is the show over and stopping? Fuck that. Your script, fuck that’ and finally walk away.
‘The Great One’ has received wide praise for his work since his return to WWE earlier this year, which has seen him turn a corner after his plans to face Reigns changed.
Adopting a villain persona, fans have suggested that he is doing some of the best work of his career and have called for a longer stay with the company before returning to Hollywood.
The Rock, whose real name is Dwayne Johnson, took to social media to explain what happened, posting the video with the caption: “I hate restrictions and stupid rules, and only because some WWE producer says ‘sure’ (it’s That is, they are no longer on the air and the show has ended) that doesn’t mean you just stop what you’re doing and tell everyone what a great job.

‘It pissed me off. I can’t turn off my emotions just because a script says we’re done. But even in this crazy fucking world of professional wrestling, this is a microcosm of a larger problem I have with individuals, corporations and governments, telling us what we can or can’t do.
‘You have to do it this way, you have to say it that way or you’ll get cancelled. They create fear if you have a different perspective and don’t follow their rules. It’s your way, or not.
‘Fuck that. I say it how I want to say it. I do it how I want to do it. My choice. Our choice. Screw your “clear” – Final Boss.’
