The WWE Universe had been eagerly anticipating the long-anticipated showdown between Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns. Over two years, WWE meticulously built a storyline that had fans fully invested. Eagerly speculating on the potential clash between these two formidable competitors at WrestleMania. Surprisingly, WWE shifted plans, choosing Roman Reigns vs. Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson over the anticipated matchup, causing frustration in WWE Universe.
In light of insights gathered from PWInsider. A considerable amount of speculation surrounds The Rock’s influence and the potential misuse of power to secure the match. Allegedly motivated by the alluring prospect of a substantial $30 million stock payday tied to specific milestones, The Rock remained steadfast in his determination to return to the ring this year. Linked to his ambition was eagerness for a bigger draw, a showdown with Roman Reigns as perceived by The Rock.
Consequently, even without the interference of factors such as injury to CM Punk or unforeseen circumstances regarding the availability of Brock Lesnar. Reports indicate that the Cody vs. Roman storyline might not have materialized. The reintroduction of The Rock into the wrestling scene emerged as a pivotal factor with credible sources intimating that key figures in the company’s management were likely to accede to Dwayne Johnson’s preferences, rendering the shift in WrestleMania plans practically unavoidable.
This abrupt change not only undermines American Nightmare’s credibility but also diminishes the significance of his Royal Rumble victory, making the prestigious event seem somewhat meaningless in retrospect. The painstakingly crafted two-year storytelling arc has seemingly been squandered, leaving fans frustrated with the unexpected turn of events.

However, the initial joy turned to frustration as fans later realized that The Rock’s presence had seemingly stolen American Nightmare’s moment. Social media quickly became a platform for fans to express their disappointment and frustration over the unexpected turn of events.
The general response to this moment was overwhelmingly anger from the WWE universe. Fans expressed their discontent, calling out the perceived injustice to Rhodes. Many accused The Rock of abusing his power to get what he wanted, rather than what the fans had been eagerly anticipating. The widespread frustration among the WWE faithful was evident in the calls for a match that reflected the fans’ desires rather than a decision driven by external factors.
The decision has sparked considerable anger among fans, leading to a notable backlash.
