Tommy Dreamer criticized Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson for revealing that he and Cody Rhodes shared a drink after their confrontation on SmackDown, stating it contradicts basic wrestling principles.
During his Busted Open Radio appearance, Dreamer expressed strong disapproval of The Rock’s post-show comments that indicated a cordial relationship with Rhodes despite their on-screen tension.
It goes against all my fundamental knowledge about this industry.
The segment in question saw The Rock announce WrestleMania 42’s location before confronting Rhodes and demanding his “soul.” Dreamer argued this hostile interaction shouldn’t logically be followed by a friendly backstage celebration.
Co-host Dave LaGreca agreed with Dreamer’s assessment, while Thunder Rosa questioned why Johnson would deliberately undermine the illusion of conflict between the performers.
There could be a definitive moment where people say, ‘Where did we go wrong?’ That could be it.
Dreamer speculated that Johnson’s comments might signal a broader shift in WWE’s approach, potentially diminishing emotional investment from fans.
