The Rock Issues Counter-Challenge To Cody Rhodes With Big WrestleMania XL Implications

The Rock responded to Cody Rhodes' challenge on Friday night.

Sort of.

While The Rock refused to respond directly to Cody Rhodes' challenge for a singles match "any time, anywhere," he did make a counter-offer to "The American Nightmare" and the man he dubbed his "Walking Clown Emoji friend," Seth "Freakin'" Rollins.

The Rock's counter-offer was for he and Roman Reigns to face Cody and Seth in the biggest tag-team match in WWE history at night one of WrestleMania XL. If they win, Cody vs. Roman at night two becomes "Bloodline Rules," which means anything goes. If they lose, Cody vs. Roman will take place with The Bloodline banned from the building at night two, and Cody will have a chance to "finish his story" uninterrupted.

The Rock invited Cody and Seth to next Friday's SmackDown to respond to the challenge.
