It seems that the WWE Universe is simply not ready to take the battle between Dwayne Johnson and Roman Reigns. For them it has to be Cody Rhodes vs Roman Reigns or they are not taking the Rock as the limelight stealer. In fact, such has been the animosity that there have been chants of ‘Rocky Sucks’ and for WWE this is a first.
Cody Rhodes won the Royal Rumble and was ready to roar at Wrestlemania until suddenly WWE decided that Rock vs Roman Reigns should have been the best possible match-up for the main event of the grandest event of all time. While Cody delivered his promo in the finest of fashion in the latest episode of Smackdown, all hell broke loose when he introduced the Rock.
This angered the fans, this triggered their hatred until that very moment where the segment that saw WWE releasing this video on Youtube garnered 600000 dislikes in under 72 hours. In fact, it went to that extent of being the most disliked video for WWE of all time. The fans wanted to make their voice heard and with 108k likes and 600k dislikes, it has been a living mess for WWE.
Here is what Twitter had to say about the Rock vs Roman Reigns
Why Rocky though? Well, reports state that this may be a show from the man himself. Being a board of director at the TKO Holdings, he wanted to grab the bigger bite at the cherry all by himself, eventually pushing out Cody Rhodes from the scene.
Things went to such an extent that fans went berserk and started their hate chants against Dwayne Johnson in one of Cody’s matches against Shinsuke Nakamura where the two went head to head against each other, eventually destroying them in the process before Drew McIntyre unleashed a physical assault. Here is what Twitter had to say about the Rock vs Roman Reigns saga.
Deserved.

Because Roman vs The Rock might be the most predictable undesirable “dream match” of all time. https://t.co/n2gPWjwsD5

If this isn't telling, I don't know what is. I think we are in an era where people care more about the story meeting a conclusive finish than just a random dream match/rivalry

Honestly this wouldn’t be blowing up as much if Cody didn’t win the rumble and go for Roman already…completely understand Rock vs Roman is big but you don’t build a guy for almost year being endorsed by all time greats like Cena and Lesner just to shove them to the wayside…

The Rock vs Roman would just be a bunch of superman punches, spears, rock bottoms, and spinebusters.
