“War Time Overture”: Cody Rhodes Seemingly Confirms ‘Gift’ Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson Handed Him on Raw

WWE SmackDown opened with Cody Rhodes, as WWE in this new era normally does. Rhodes began by addressing what went down on WWE RAW. He talked about the face-off with Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson. Rhodes made it clear that if The Rock came back looking for him, he would know where to find him. However, one phrase that Rhodes used may have hinted at the gift Johnson bestowed on him before leaving.

During the opening promo, Rhodes said, “War time overture,” which could refer to a pre-war gift. Back in the old days, soldiers would be given a watch before leaving for battle. Following this, he also said that he knew exactly what Johnson had given him without looking at it. Since WWE RAW aired the segment, fans have speculated that it was the Rolex that Rhodes had gifted The Rock that Johnson had returned.
