In the aftermath of the latest WWE SmackDown, the wrestling world, including Summer Rae, finds itself in the midst of controversy and intrigue. The culmination of the episode witnessed an intense encounter between two titans, The Rock and Roman Reigns. However, the shocker came when Cody Rhodes took a daring step by introducing a Hollywood megastar, potentially altering the course of his journey to the much-coveted WrestleMania 40 title shot.
The fallout of this unexpected twist has triggered a wave of mixed reactions among fans. The wrestling community is abuzz with discussions, and opinions are sharply divided. Many fans express disappointment at the decision to relegate the WWE’s top star, Roman Reigns, to a supporting role behind a part-time performer like The Rock.
Former superstars have not shied away from voicing their discontent, underscoring that this sentiment is not isolated. One notable critic is Summer Rae, a former female WWE Superstar, whose last appearance was at the Royal Rumble in 2022.
Summer Rae expresses her dissatisfaction
Rae took to Twitter to articulate her dissatisfaction with the unfolding events on SmackDown. In a recent tweet, she openly expressed her preference for a WrestleMania 40 showdown between Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes, dismissing the idea of a match against The Rock.
In a bold social media post, Rae didn’t mince her words, pointing out the part-time schedules of The Tribal Chief and The Great One. She also criticized WWE for what she perceives as undermining The American Nightmare’s 2024 Men’s Royal Rumble win. Rae questioned the logic of handing over a WrestleMania match, earned after defeating 29 other competitors, after a two-year build-up.
“I’m all for twists & turns, but make it make sense! Gosh, I hope we are ALL wrong. I hope it all makes sense next Fri in a Rock Roman promo, that is if either of them show up to TV,” she shared.
Imagine handing over your Wrestlemania match that you beat 29 other ppl for…AFTER a two year build
I’m all for twists & turns but make it make sense! Gosh I hope we are ALL wrong. I hope it all makes sense next Fri in a Rock Roman promo, that is if either of them show up to tv

As the dust settles, uncertainty hangs over the wrestling universe regarding whether Roman Reigns will indeed face The Rock at The Show of Shows this year, or if Cody Rhodes will continue to play a significant role in the unfolding drama. The anticipation for WrestleMania 40 is further fueled by the expectation of numerous unexpected developments in the coming weeks.
The prospect of a face-off between Roman Reigns and The Rock at WrestleMania 40 has wrestling FANS on the edge of their seats. The clash of these two titans promises an epic showdown that transcends generations. The Rock, a Hollywood megastar turned wrestling legend, against Roman Reigns, the current face of WWE’s new era – a match that could redefine legacies.
Cody Rhodes, once a staple of WWE’s mid-card, has been making waves with his resurgence. However, his decision to involve a Hollywood megastar in the storyline has raised eyebrows. While some view it as a strategic move to elevate the overall appeal of WrestleMania 40, others, like Summer Rae, see it as a potential risk jeopardizing Rhodes’ own chances at the coveted title shot.
