WWE Producer reveals when he found out about The Rock appearing on Smackdown with Cody Rhodes

As seen during the February 21st 2025 edition of WWE Smackdown, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson said he wanted Cody to be HIS champion and told Cody to make a decision at the Elimination Chamber PLE. It was reported that creative changes for Smackdown to include Rock came together “very late.”

While speaking to Counted Out with Mike & Tyler, WWE Smackdown producer TJ Wilson aka Tyson Kidd commented on the segment…

“I found out kind of when everyone else did, when it was announced on Twitter. Everything The Rock touches, especially when it comes to wrestling, it becomes exciting and very unpredictable. You don’t know what he’s going to say, let alone what he’s going to do on TV.” (quote courtesy of Jeremy Lambert)
