Cody Rhodes, initially slated to headline WrestleMania 40 against Roman Reigns after his Royal Rumble victory, has found himself seemingly replaced by The Rock. The unexpected twist unfolded on WWE SmackDown, with Rhodes appearing to relinquish his title shot and bringing The Rock into the confrontation with Reigns.
This decision has generated significant fan discontent, sparking frustration and disappointment over the sidelining of the top babyface in favor of a part-time performer.
The dissatisfaction among fans has spilled over from social media to mainstream outlets like TMZ and USA Today, reflecting the widespread sentiment that WWE’s decision has not resonated well. WWE United States Champion Logan Paul has also entered the conversation, expressing his support for Cody Rhodes on Twitter amid the online backlash.
The rallying cry of “We want Cody” has gained traction, with fans urging The Rock to restore Rhodes to his WrestleMania 40 spot. The unexpected turn of events has prompted a reevaluation of Cody Rhodes’ WrestleMania direction, adding an element of uncertainty to the buildup of the highly anticipated event.
As the wrestling community navigates the evolving narrative, the fallout from these changes will undoubtedly continue to shape the conversation leading up to WrestleMania 40.
The Rock vs Roman Reigns is definitely a money match and we won’t get another chance like this ever again. But on the other hand, we have Code who deserves his rematch with Roman Reigns and Finish His Story. While the internet and the fans are divided on this most of the fans want Cody to finish his story.
