Logan Paul at a loss for words after Dwayne Johnson slaps Cody Rhodes
WWE held its WrestleMania 40 Kickoff press conference on Thursday, and it was crazy to say the least. Answering the question that has been rocking the industry for over a week, Cody Rhodes made his decision. Although his revelation was very big, what Dwayne Johnson did after this has become the highlight of the show.
In an unexpected turn of events after The American Nightmare’s decision, The Rock slapped the Raw star, and it made complete headlines on the internet. Fans can’t believe what Dwayne did to prompt a heel turn, and Logan Paul is at a loss for words about what happened at the February 8 conference.

In a video going viral on X, The Maverick’s live reaction to the entire segment between Roman, Johnson and Cody is shared. While he was watching all this with excitement, at the same moment when he saw the actor slapping the fan-favorite star, Paul was left speechless. This was a great example of the fact that this slap was truly unexpected.
Logan Paul isn’t the only WWE star to react to the issue
While it’s true that Logan’s response is getting a lot of airplay on Twitter, he’s not the only WWE star to react to the matter. In fact, CM Punk responded by slapping Cody Rhodes during the press conference itself, as he was one of the four hosts of WrestleMania Kickoff.

Responding to The People’s Champion’s disrespect to The American Nightmare, Punk shared an interesting wish. After a TKO board member slapped Rhodes, the Straight Edge Superstar said, “I want to see Cody punch Rock Wright in the face, Additionally, he said that if he were the Royal Rumble winner, he would put his hand on The Rock.
WWE makes Cody Rhodes vs. Roman Reigns official for WrestleMania 40
While the Internet is blooming after Dwayne Johnson slapped Cody, the Stamford-based promotion is playing its part in the saga. In a major development following the press conference, WWE has made Cody Rhodes vs. Roman Reigns official for WrestleMania 40.
The Triple H-led promotion made the announcement on X, but it has left fans wondering what role The Rock will play. In this regard, it should be noted that before The American Nightmare chose Reigns as its opponent, the Hollywood actor had done the same.

So there is still a possibility that plans may change. In fact, previous reports have also claimed that there could be a triple-threat match between Dwayne, Reigns and Rhodes in the organization. Given the way things transpired during the recent incident, this may actually become a reality.
Whatever the case, the convention in LA was probably a trailer for the show WWE fans are going to get in April. If the company is going to book WrestleMania 2024 so well, pro wrestling audiences will be really excited. Until fans get to the mega event, it will be interesting to see what happens on the way to the grandest stage of them all.
