During a recent appearance on “The Pat McAfee Show,” Cody Rhodes addressed The Rock’s recent interview with Fox News about politics.
Rhodes said, “Am I a politician? Because that’s what was said about me. Guess who’s on Fox News this morning talking politics? Your boy, Dwayne The Rock Johnson.”
Cody declared that he might just run for political office so it would anger The Rock.
He said, “If Rock wants to run for office, just to piss him off…seriously though, just to make him angry, maybe I’ll run for office too, you know? I don’t know the platform yet.”
During Saturday’s WWE WrestleMania 40 (Night One) pay-per-view event, The Bloodline (The Rock & Roman Reigns) defeated Rhodes and Seth Rollins in the main event.
Tonight, Rhodes will get a chance at redemption when he faces Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship in the main event of WrestleMania 40 (Night Two).
