The celebrations were short-lived as Cody Rhodes entered the ring, calling out the Rock, who appeared alongside rapper Travis Scott.

The Rock offered Rhodes a chance to "sell his soul" and join him, but Rhodes refused. Moments later, Cena embraced Rhodes in a show of respect before blindsiding him with a sudden attack, leaving him devastated in the ring.
