WWE Responds to Fan Outcry Over The Rock vs. Roman Reigns WrestleMania 40 Bout

In a surprising turn of events, WWE finds itself at the center of a fan revolt following speculations about The Rock replacing Cody Rhodes in the WrestleMania 40 main event against Roman Reigns. The controversial decision, which has sparked widespread discontent, is set to be addressed at a special WrestleMania press conference in Las Vegas on Thursday, February 8.

Although the match is not officially confirmed, the intense stare-down between The Rock and Reigns has fueled rumors, prompting concerns among fans. The anticipation surrounding a potential announcement is palpable, with some hoping that the negative backlash may influence WWE to reconsider, evoking memories of the Daniel Bryan Yes Movement ahead of WrestleMania 30.

Amid uncertainty about WWE’s course of action, recent reports from PW Insider’s Mike Johnson indicate that the company is closely monitoring fan responses to The Rock’s rumored WrestleMania challenge. Social media platforms have been flooded with criticism directed at both WWE and The Rock, with even a prominent WWE star tweeting ‘We Want Cody,’ a message that has been trending on Twitter since the SmackDown episode aired.

Notably, the vehement opposition to the decision has not only resonated within the wrestling community but has also captured the attention of major mainstream news outlets. As WWE navigates this unexpected wave of discontent, the question remains: How will the company address the mounting fan resistance?
