Leading up to WrestleMania 40, Cody Rhodes and The Rock had numerous heated exchanges. While The Great One physically assaulted him, their war of words was what made the feud memorable. Cody Rhodes recently revealed that during one of their promos, he said something to The Final Boss that he now regrets.

In a recent interview with Chris Van Vliet, the Undisputed WWE Champion disclosed, "I feel maybe I crossed the line. I did a promo where I said he had LDS."

He mentioned that many people probably enjoyed Cody's insult towards The Brahma Bull and even applauded him. However, right after he went backstage, Rhodes felt it didn't align well with the image he wanted to portray.

The Rock often crossed limits against Cody, dragging his family. Complementing The Rock, Cody stated that during the feud and promos, there was real animosity and a serious dislike for each other because The Final Boss was the most impressive heel at that time.

He brought out the wicked and rude side of the American Nightmare, which was good for WWE programming. However, Cody thought it was unpleasant at that time.
