Following the video, Rhodes, who was emotional, hugged Triple H.

After praising Rhodes, The Great One created an awkward moment by expressing his desire to hold the WWE Championship. They then agreed to exchange titles, as The Rock wanted to hold the one Cody had just won since it was a belt he had never held before. As fans chanted, “This is awkward,” he placed it on his shoulder.
After this moment, The Rock announced that he would be taking some time away from WWE to shoot a movie. However, he issued a warning to Cody Rhodes that when he returns, he’ll be coming after Rhodes.
He concluded the promo by stating that while Rhodes’ story with Roman Reigns may have ended, their story has just begun. The encounter ended with The Rock giving Cody something and placing it in his hand. He said. “Don’t you ever break my heart again”, leaving the ring.
