To which The Rock, 51, replied: “Let me make completely clear to you, once you discuss his household, you discuss my household.
“Whenever you discuss his ancestors, you are speaking about my ancestors and once you’re speaking about his blood, you are speaking about my blood.
“So now now we have an issue.”
The Rock then proceeded to slap Rhodes because the unhealthy blood boiled over.
