Social Round-Up: The Rock Praises Cody’s Promo, Soultrain Jones Sets The Record Straight, Orton Challenges Cena
The Rock happened to catch Cody Rhodes’ “Silver Spoon” promo from last night’s episode of AEW Dynamite and “The People’s Champ” championed Cody’s work in every facet of delivery:
Rhythm, cadence, tone, intent, passion, execution. Great promo, brother. You 🎤 dropped that MF. @CodyRhodes

In his travels, Randy Orton happened run into a familiar face via airline magazine. He saw John Cena’s beautiful mug and it sparked him to Tweet out a challenge that he already issued to The Rock before.
“I’m on a flight to London and see this striking young man asking me a question. Why yes @johncena I am up for a challenge, are you? Let’s say ohhhh I dunno, #Wrestlemania36 maybe? Or does Hollywood have you booked solid? #WM36“

The wrestling world was introduced to “Soultrain Jones” on AEW Dynamite yesterday evening and the artist formerly known as Virgil took to his social media to issue an “unlimited” statement:
“The hottest free agent has dipped his breadsticks into the ALL Elite Era. It was an easy decision. Since I wasn’t going to give my equity back from the WWF days, I got Headhuntered years ago by one of my students who I mentor to this day Shahid and Tony Kahn. From their I have given my life’s work to help big media conglomerates to enhance their brand. TNT has been in my pocket since Teddy and I crushed WCW. So when they brought to me AEW The first thing I thought Alfredo Enchilada Wrestling. Head blown. Finally someone that can mix cuisine into the squared circle. So when Tony offered me equity for my brand I knew that the deal was gonna be right. Tony offered me a VP position to get a piece of my ass and I said “Veal Parm? sure but load me up with that unlimited Pasta Pass”. He said “yes Lord Veezus” When Le Champion called me and said we need your meat in our Inner Circle. I said It simple to my WCW southpaw “show me Le Fuck Monay”. Deal done. We signed a contract at my home turf @olivegarden and the rest was Wednesday night history. The catering has been upped, the story has been cemented and the breadsticks are now FOREVER unlimited.”
