CM Punk wants Cody Rhodes to take a page from their infamous AEW feud following his brutal slap to Dwayne Johnson at the WrestleMania press conference.

Dwayne Johnson just slapped Cody Rhodes in the face, and CM Punk doesn’t approve! Inside T-Mobile Arena, WWE recently held their WrestleMania 40 Kickoff press conference. While it’s quite clear that the company is not backing down from the initially planned match between Roman Reigns and The Rock, there is now a wrinkle among fans.

At the big press conference, The Rock did not get the reaction he expected and appeared quite nervous on stage. Repeatedly, the 51-year-old faced “We want Cody” chants from fans. One can see him slowly returning to his ‘Hollywood Rock’ stage. He told Kodi fans “Cody’s Crybabies.” Hollywood actor shows a photo of his family lineage and asks fans to do the same “respect it.”

At that time, Cody Rhodes came out with no entrance music and labeled everything “Bullsh*t.” The former AEW vice president, who teased before the press conference that he had made up his mind on his WrestleMania opponent, ultimately revealed Reigns as his choice. However, after Roman insulted his father, Dusty Rhodes, “The American Nightmare” did not hold back and revealed that Reigns’ grandfather may have been “Ashamed” His.

At this time, The Rock came forward and slapped Cody Rhodes. While it’s unknown whether the slap was scripted or not, Dwayne Johnson was clearly upset by Cody’s words and it looked like he dropped a few F-words during the onstage scuffle. At one point, The Rock threatened, “I’ll spank you again.”

While CM Punk will not be performing at this year’s WrestleMania due to a tricep injury, he is definitely a part of the event in some form. Therefore, Punk was present during the broadcast of the press conference and gave his thoughts on what happened on stage.

After The Rock slapped Cody Rhodes, Punk said, “I want to see Cody punch Rock Wright in the face.” Not only this, the 46-year-old also reminded fans that the $800 million riche is currently a part of the TKO board as well. The Chicago native also referenced his AEW feud and said that if The Rock had slapped him, he would have raised his hands on the ‘Fast & Furious’ actor.
