WWE Fans Voice Discontent as The Rock’s Presence Sparks Boos at NXT Vengeance Day

WWE enthusiasts have once again passionately expressed their sentiments, this time during the NXT Vengeance Day premium live event. As the commentary unfolded details of upcoming events, the crowd couldn’t contain their disapproval, especially when a graphic featuring The Rock appeared on the screen.

Among the announcements was a significant one for Thursday, February 8, where WWE revealed a WrestleMania 40 Kickoff event scheduled to take place in Las Vegas. This revelation followed the intense stare-off between The Rock and the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns on the recent SmackDown episode.

The fervor among fans escalated over the weekend, with the hashtag #WeWantCody trending on social media. Speculation arose that The Rock might have replaced Cody Rhodes in the main event against Reigns at WrestleMania, intensifying the backlash.

During tonight’s NXT Vengeance Day, as the reminder about the upcoming event flashed on the screen, the audience made sure their sentiments were heard loud and clear. Boos resonated through the venue as the graphic featuring The Rock, Rhodes, Roman Reigns, Triple H, and more appeared, underscoring that this discontent extends beyond the realms of online discussions.
