If Rock is that gassed from that short segment, I think we have our answer about his cardio for the match jtself.

In its day, it was the worst "dream" match. It's since been surpassed. But Rock vs Goldberg from Backlash 2003. (Author's Note: This is my opinion, not objective fact.)

It was 13 minute match with maybe 8 minutes of wrestling. Every time Rock got hit, he would roll out of the ring and stall for time. It might have been that way because there were concerns about Goldberg's cardio. It might have been done that way because Goldberg wanted to be booked to look like he was 5 times as strong as the Great One and Rock couldn't withstand more than a single move at a time. I don't know. The match was crap, but they managed to get to the double digits.

Maybe that'll happen here. Maybe Cody Rhodes will kick The Rock and he'll roll outside of the ring and stall for time before getting back in. And drinking bottles of water during matches was part of Rock's character previously. We could see that become a matter of necessity. Aging happens to everyone. Even Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.
