I know exactly what it is, it’s Dusty’s watch. Rock gave him the receipt. Storyline will be that Rock owned that watch all this time and that’s how they were able to find it quick.

Oh than it’s 100% the Rolex watch

There,he recounted his path from winning the Royal Rumble to facing off against Reigns. And towards the end of the conversation, the discussion turned to the rumored gift he gave his sworn enemies. He said,
“I can’t confirm that I gave them one to Rock or Roman. I think people probably go, Oh, I thought you did okay, my bad, can’t confirm. They might be right.”
In the midst of their conversation, Cody Rhodes also openly shared his deep admiration for The Rock andhis storied WWE career. He went on to reveal that the inspiration behind gifting a Rolex watch was sparked by the legendary showdown between Ric Flair and Shawn Michaels at WrestleMania 24.
This revelation not only highlights the enduring bonds among WWE fighters even amidst intense battles in the ring but also underscores the profound respect and camaraderie within the wrestling community, surpassing any rivalries.
