If The Rock has done two things consistently during his current run as The Final Boss of The Bloodline, it’s beat up Cody Rhodes and drop some four-letter words.
Monday night in Brooklyn was no different. The Rock and Roman Reigns combined to add to Rhodes’ misery, suckering him in perfectly during the night’s main event, a Bloodline Rules affair between Seth Rollins and Bloodline enforcer Solo Sikoa.
Even though Rhode arrived as Rollins’ Plan B to counter The Rock, the unexpected appearance of Reigns tilted things back in favor of The Bloodline. The show ended with The Rock and Reigns taking turns beating the good guys with Cody’s own weight belt, symbolically and physically imposing their will once again.
And just like the previous week on Raw, when The Rock beat Rhodes bloody, he didn’t just flip the switch off once the cameras stopped rolling. WWE posted a short but succinct video after the show, with just a few last words from The Rock: “F–k them.”

It’s an interesting little clip if for no other reason than the widespread fascination with The Rock being allowed more leeway with curse words than other WWE talent. It certainly fits his current persona perfectly, and though he uses some of the same language on TV, it’s bleeped out when he does.
This likely won’t be the last we’ll hear from The Final Boss ahead of the Show of Shows, with WrestleMania XL Kickoff and SmackDown in Philadelphia still looming on Friday. Rhodes probably won’t want to see or hear from him again, however, before they meet in the tag team match that will close out WrestleMania XL night 1 on Saturday.
