Vince Russo doesn't think The Rock cares about Cody Rhodes as a human being

The Final Boss and The American Nightmare had a big feud this time last year. It was revealed in January that they became friends, only for them to become enemies again.

Speaking on Sportskeeda Wrestling's Legion of RAW, Vince Russo claimed that The Rock doesn't care about Cody Rhodes as a human being and wouldn't put him over.

​

"With The Rock’s career in Hollywood and how big of a name he is, why would he be doing wrestling favors for anybody? I don’t see him doing favors at this point in his career. I don’t know how that benefits him. I don’t think Rock cares about Cody Rhodes as a human being where it’s, ‘I am going to put you over in the middle of the ring.’ I just don’t believe that. He’s got a huge career, he’s a gigantic freaking movie star, I don’t see him doing any favors for anybody. I don’t."

Cody Rhodes is set to face John Cena at WrestleMania 41, and The Brahma Bull has been involved in the feud. It'll be interesting to see what pans out.
