Cody Rhodes proposes storyline involving The Rock's daughter Simone Johnson

Cody Rhodes discussed a storyline idea involving Simone Johnson during a podcast episode aired on September 24, 2026. Rhodes reflected on a previous segment from February 2025 where Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson sought his soul. He suggested that the storyline would have been more compelling if he had instead given his soul to Johnson, who was then the NXT general manager. Johnson expressed interest in the concept and hinted that it could still happen in the future. Meanwhile, Rhodes is currently engaged in a rivalry with Randy Orton, with both wrestlers having one victory each.
