As seen in the main event segment of SmackDown, Cody Rhodes said he’s coming for Roman Reigns and the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship, but not at WrestleMania 40.
The American Nightmare then basically gave his WrestleMania 40 main event spot to The Rock.
This resulted in a major backlash on social media, as fans online want Cody to finish the story at WrestleMania XL.
Fans are rallying behind The American Nightmare, as #WeWantCody is trending #1 in the US.
Also, fans have filled The Rock’s latest Instagram post with hate comments about how he “screwed” Cody and his story, that’s been building for 2 years.
The video of Roman Reigns and The Rock’s face-off is now WWE’s most disliked video on YouTube, with over 400,000 dislikes.
Even mainstream media is covering this now, including TMZ and USA Today Sports.
As we noted earlier, The Rock finally commented on this segment and thanked the fans for giving him a thunderous live ovation.
In a slightly different version that he posted on Instagram, he included the following line at the end, referring to the fans who are reacting negatively:
“ps, tough skin, love the passion”
