Rhodes’ Recent Confrontation with Reigns on “SmackDown”
The speculation gained momentum when Cody Rhodes confronted Roman Reigns on “SmackDown,” marking their first encounter since WrestleMania 39. Fans anticipated Rhodes confirming a WrestleMania rematch, hoping to witness a continuation of their storyline. However, Rhodes surprised everyone by expressing his intent to go after Reigns and claim everything from him, but not at WrestleMania. He hinted at seeking counsel from wrestling legends, including one familiar with Reigns, leading to The Rock’s iconic entrance music.
Mixed Reactions from Fans and Online Backlash
While the live crowd in Birmingham initially responded positively to the Rock and Reigns staredown, the online wrestling community expressed widespread displeasure, giving rise to the #WeWantCody hashtag. Wrestling pundits joined fans in echoing their discontent over the perceived shift in plans for WrestleMania.
Remaining Trustful in Rhodes’ Intentions
With a shade over two months left until WrestleMania 40, and considering the possibility of WWE testing fan reactions, there remains a level of uncertainty. Despite the online backlash, perhaps trusting Cody Rhodes and allowing the storyline to unfold could prove to be the wisest course of action, considering the dynamic nature of wrestling narratives.
