This week on SmackDown, The Rock and the Bloodline delivered an electrifying segment in response to Cody Rhodes‘ challenge for a singles match. Despite The Brahma Bull’s captivating performance, some fans expressed disappointment with the segment, feeling that it overshadowed other storylines and wrestlers on the roster.

The Rock and the Bloodline’s segment, running almost an hour, was a major highlight, occupying half the show. The extended segment caused a ripple effect, impacting the scheduled matches. One of the most affected bouts was the singles match between Tiffany Stratton and Naomi.

The match between Tiffany Stratton and Naomi, including entrances, received only around 9 minutes of airtime. This short duration was disappointing for fans, as both stars have incredible skills and could have delivered an outstanding match. Tiffany managed to defeat the veteran, Naomi. A longer match would have allowed Tiffany to showcase her abilities in a tough, competitive bout. While Naomi would have had the opportunity to shine even in defeat, making both competitors look strong.

In a surprising turn of events, The Rock has issued a challenge of his own. The Great One has challenged Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins to face him and Roman Reigns in a tag team match. The stipulation adds an intriguing twist: if Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins win. They will guarantee that Cody’s upcoming title match against Roman Reigns will be a fair contest without any interference from the Bloodline. However, if they lose, the title match will become a Bloodline Rules match, potentially giving the champions a significant advantage.

Fans express their frustration over The Rock segment going over time

The news of The Rock and the Bloodline segment running overtime, causing the Tiffany Stratton and Naomi match to be shortened, has sparked frustration and anger among fans. Many took to social media to express their disappointment, criticizing WWE for prioritizing the segment over other matches on the card.

Fans took to social media to express their frustration over the handling of the women’s match and the extended segment involving The Rock and the Bloodline. Some fans criticized the short women’s match, demanding fairer treatment for the WWE women’s division. Some fans also took a shot at The Great One, comparing the situation to Vince McMahon‘s regime, suggesting that the new boss‘ handling of the women’s match was reminiscent of past criticisms about McMahon’s leadership.

However, some fans supported The Rock’s segment, considering the Bloodline storyline to be one of the most compelling in WWE. Despite differing opinions, many fans agreed that all storylines should be given adequate time and attention without disrupting the overall flow of the program.
