Ava, an NXT star and daughter of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, has opened up about receiving death threats due to the storyline positioning of her father for a potential main-event match against Roman Reigns at WrestleMania XL.
In her role as NXT general manager, Ava emphasized that even in the storyline, she lacks the authority to influence the WrestleMania card. Expressing her distress, she revealed receiving “death threats over a situation I have nothing to do with.”
Fellow NXT star Dijak echoed a similar sentiment on social media, urging fans to channel their frustrations appropriately and avoid overshadowing posts about young and excited NXT talents. The comments reflect the emotional toll that the intense fan reactions are taking on the performers involved in the ongoing storyline.
The speculation surrounding a WrestleMania showdown between The Rock and Reigns intensified when The Rock made a surprise appearance at Raw Day 1, hinting at the possibility of sitting at the “head of the table.”
However, the subsequent revelation of Cody Rhodes seemingly stepping aside for The Rock to face Reigns at WrestleMania has sparked dissatisfaction among fans.
Cody Rhodes, the Royal Rumble winner, initially aimed to “finish the story” but has shifted his focus, deviating from expectations built up over the past year. This decision has fueled the debate about WWE’s preference for relying on stars from past eras rather than promoting current talents, a longstanding point of contention within the wrestling community.
Ava’s disclosure about receiving death threats serves as a stark reminder that while fans have the right to express their opinions and frustrations, there is a crucial need for respectful discourse. The intense reactions and online backlash highlight the emotional impact on both the performers and their families, emphasizing the importance of maintaining a balanced and considerate approach to fan engagement.
