The decision to postpone the coronation of the beloved Cody Rhodes has seemingly backfired on the WWE. Fans have been voicing their displeasure online, as many claim that WrestleMania is the right time for him to finish the story. As such, online speculations and theories have emerged regarding the situation. Despite Cody handing over his opportunity to face Roman Reigns to The Rock, there are a few who are optimistic that will change.

A fan detailed how The American Nightmare could still end up headlining against The Tribal Chief. According to the X user “BeOurGuest”, WWE has not yet officially announced The Rock vs. Roman Reigns for WrestleMania. Therefore, this could be a swerve by the company to head towards the same destination it was building to.

The user claims that The Rock could make a fool out of Roman during a contract signing. When The Great One’s about to sign, he can reveal it was a ruse and he brings out Cody Rhodes to challenge his cousin. Instead, he will end up as the ‘special guest referee’ for the main event of WrestleMania. Furthermore, the ‘dream’ match would take place at a later PLE, perhaps at this year’s SummerSlam.

While The Rock vs. Roman Reigns is not yet official, sources claim the announcement will take place at the press event on Thursday. Meanwhile, Cody Rhodes will reportedly square off against World Heavyweight Champion, Seth Rollins. Needless to say, it is a tricky situation for the company as fans gear up for the road to WrestleMania.

2024 has been an odd year for WWE so far. In only a month, there have been a lot of positives and negatives to take away for the company. However, on Friday night, the Stamford-based promotion made a decision that irked the majority of its audience. The Rock seemingly took advantage of his power and snatched away fan favorite, Cody Rhodes’ well-deserved spot.

Now, #WeWantCody has been trending on X, and evidently, there is heavy backlash on The Rock and WWE. Some fans are assured that The American Nightmare won’t be reconfigured into the original plans. Meanwhile, others are irate at The People’s Champion for supposedly stealing Cody’s moment.

Whether or not the online frustration remedies the situation is yet to be seen. All in all, it will be interesting to see if WWE repeats its history and a Daniel Bryan 2014-like decision is made in the coming weeks.
