Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has fully embraced his “Final Boss” persona, even going as far as creating an 8-bit video game mockup featuring himself and Cody Rhodes. This unique promotional strategy for his upcoming WrestleMania 40 match against Rhodes positions The Rock as the ultimate challenge for Rhodes to overcome. In the video game, The Rock proudly refers to himself as “The Final Boss,” adding an extra layer of excitement to the anticipation surrounding their showdown.
In a recent TikTok video, The Rock further embraced his “Final Boss” persona by portraying a scenario reminiscent of the classic game “Streets of Rage.” As Cody Rhodes navigates through The Bloodline, he ultimately faces Roman Reigns in a final confrontation. However, just as Rhodes is joined by Seth Rollins, The Rock emerges as the literal final boss, swiftly defeating Rhodes and asserting his dominance with the caption “GAME OVER. Don’t f**k with the Final Boss.”
This resurgence of The Rock’s presence in WWE, including his involvement in the TKO Board, has been nothing short of extraordinary. His unexpected leapfrogging over Royal Rumble winner Cody Rhodes has led to the development of his “Final Boss” persona. Furthermore, his transition from Roman Reigns’ WrestleMania opponent to his ally, pledging allegiance to the “Tribal Chief” and integrating into The Bloodline, marks his first heel turn in over a decade. The retro video game aesthetic and “Final Boss” persona perfectly complement The Rock’s larger-than-life presence in the WWE, adding an extra layer of excitement to his highly anticipated showdown with Rhodes at the pinnacle of the wrestling calendar.
