Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson demonstrated exactly why he earned the nickname “Final Boss” both in and out of the wrestling arena by orchestrating a lavish VIP experience for Cody and Brandy Rhodes to attend the Moana 2 premiere in Hawaii in November 2024.
The WWE Champion and his wife shared an exclusive behind-the-scenes story on the first episode of Cody’s new podcast, “What Do You Want to Talk About?” revealing how The Rock went well beyond typical celebrity hospitality.
“Place us in an amazing, fully catered golf stream with Moana-themed desserts. Truly, roll out the red carpet for this king. Let us know. That’s the ultimate boss move,” they said.
This thoughtful gesture held special significance for the Rhodes family because Cody had to wrestle in Salt Lake City the same day, and it seemed like attending the premiere would be impossible until The Rock personally stepped in.
Brandi Rhodes expressed her immediate gratitude upon seeing The Rock at the event and how much the family appreciated his extraordinary efforts.
“The first thing I said when I saw him was how thankful I was for that moment,” she recalled.
The premiere itself showcased Johnson’s focus on creating a memorable, family-oriented event rather than a typical Hollywood red carpet. The festivities included craft tables, Disney character appearances, and interactive activities designed especially for kids and families.
“It was family-friendly with lots of sponsored items, craft stations, and Mickey and Minnie making an appearance. It wasn’t a traditional affair; there was a carpet press element, but everything felt inclusive and fun,” they shared.
The Rock’s generosity extended to the entire Rhodes family, including their four-year-old daughter, Freedom, who was treated like a princess throughout the Hawaiian experience.
This experience highlights why The Rock is respected across industries—not just for his in-ring achievements but also for how genuinely he treats people when the spotlight isn’t on him.
