In the wake of the recent events featuring the two stars, WWE launched interesting new merchandise for The Final Boss.

Wrestling veteran slams WWE for The Rock's inconsistent booking
The WWE SmackDown segment featuring The Most Electrifying Man in Sports Entertainment did not go well with wrestling veteran Jim Cornette. He called out the promotion for their booking of the 52-year-old.
On a recent episode of Jim Cornette's Drive Thru, Cornette questioned how The Rock switched between heel and babyface in the same segment. He also pointed out that the latter was beating up Cody Rhodes a year ago and suddenly became friendly with the Undisputed WWE Champion without any explanation.
"How can it be inconsistent if it's so carefully fu**ing written? Every time he shows up, is he gonna kiss somebody, or is he gonna fu**ing whip him with a weight belt? He has been alternately fu**ing playing up to the audience and calling them s*xual deviants with diseases. He's kissing Cody on the face, but he wants to own his soul. But last year, this whole thing started with him kicking the sh*t out of him. They never really made up, made up. We just saw Rock come back and start kissing him," he said. [From 19:02 to 19:48]

Cody Rhodes is expected to come up with an answer at Elimination Chamber on March 1. With the number-one contender for the Undisputed WWE Championship to be decided at the show, it remains to be seen what the 39-year-old will have to say.
