Below are a couple of top WWE news stories of the day, involving Cody Rhodes and Booker T.
• As we noted earlier, PWInsider reported that WWE Officials are monitoring the negative response on Social Media to The Rock replacing Cody Rhodes in the WrestleMania 40 main event spot.
This began speculation that WWE might change plans as nothing is officially announced so far.
In an update from ProWrestlingScoops, plans for The Rock vs. Roman Reigns aren’t changing no matter what the fan response is on social media.
The official announcement for this long-awaited match will be made at the WrestleMania 40 Kickoff media event this Thursday in Las Vegas, where WWE has announced that Rock and Reigns will have an “iconic face-off”.
