The Rock has been making big moves in WWE. At the WrestleMania XL Press Event, he slapped Cody Rhodes and ignited a brawl that also involved Seth Rollins.

Speaking to FOX News Digital, the reigning WWE World Heavyweight Champion criticized The People's Champion. He said:

​

"Now coming back, on the board of directors, like I said man, it feels like gross. I don’t like it. I feel like we gotta do something about it. Just don’t know what that next step is going to be. It’s just what happens when powerful people exert their power. They just think they can do whatever they want & get away with it & that s*cks. It just s*cks. I don’t know any other way to put it. I guess it [resulted] in Cody getting what he wanted. We’ll figure out what’s next for the World Heavyweight title. But Cody said it best, it’s bulls**t. It feels pretty gross to me,"

The Rock, Roman Reigns, and the rest of their faction are expected to be in the news on the Road To WrestleMania 40.
