Unsettlingly, several fans have voiced their displeasure with The Rock’s WWE comeback.
The Rock has drawn a lot of criticism for guaranteeing Cody Rhodes a berth at WrestleMania 40, where he will square off against Roman Reigns, the current Undisputed WWE Universal Champion.
The WrestleMania Kickoff event on Thursday is scheduled to feature the unveiling of Rock vs. Reigns. The Rock’s agreement to join the TKO Board of Directors included this crucial bout, which satisfied a long-standing goal shared by the organization and The Rock.
WWE is monitoring the tide of negative feedback stemming from fans in response to this development. Notably, the video featuring the full segment on WWE’s YouTube channel has become most disliked video in the channel’s history.
Meanwhile, The Rock’s daughter, NXT General Manager Ava, has come forward to reveal that she has been subjected to death threats from certain fans amid the social media backlash. Ava has now quit Twitter/X.
“death threats over a situation i have nothing to do with … bffr”
There is a significant increase in assertive comments on social media, demanding a rematch for Cody, whenever The Rock or WWE shares posts on Instagram. However, the WrestleMania situation is unlikely to change unless The Rock withdraws his commitment.
