The Rock and Cody Rhodes both come from wrestling royal families.
The Rock has always been an admirer of professional wrestling. It is well documented by many colleagues that he studied wrestling relentlessly during his time as an active competitor in WWE.
While speaking on the latest Busted Open podcast, WWE Hall Of Famer Mark Henry said that The Rock studied wrestling more than anyone else. He added that Cody Rhodes is the closest to the Rock when it comes to studying pro wrestling.
“I’ve never met another wrestler in the business even to this day that studied more than he [The Rock] did. The closest I’ve seen is Cody Rhodes. They watch wrestling all day long. They’re always writing something down – ‘I’m going to try this later. I’m going to do this…’”

The Rock has had his eye on Cody Rhodes, praising Cody for going through the Hell In A Cell match with Seth Rollins last month with a torn pectoral muscle. He is currently rehabbing at home following successful surgery.
