On Friday, Dwayne Johnson dangled his position of power in front of undisputed WWE champion Cody Rhodes. The Rock's last-minute arrival to WWE SmackDown raises more questions than answers ahead of Elimination Chamber and WrestleMania 41.

"The Final Boss" called out WWE Champion Cody Rhodes, and over the course of a 25-minute segment, repeatedly told him he wanted Rhodes to be "his" champion. The encounter was ambiguous and uneasy, catching the attention of many.

The Rock returned to WWE SmackDown on Friday evening and kicked it off with a big announcement before the whole night took a really weird turn. Live from the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans, The Final Boss confirmed that WrestleMania 42 will take place in New Orleans next year.
