Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, wrestling royalty and Hollywood titan, ignited a firestorm of controversy with his recent SmackDown appearance. While securing the coveted WrestleMania 40 main event against Roman Reigns, he also drew a barrage of online criticism.

The episode's climax saw The Rock, brought out by Cody Rhodes, seemingly steal the latter's WrestleMania title shot, causing fan ire. Many expressed disappointment that WWE's top hero, Cody, was sidelined for a part-time legend. This, despite WWE likely having strategic reasons for the Rock-Reigns clash.



Adding fuel to the fire, The Rock's post-SmackDown tweet, supporting a UFC fighter, drew a brutal backlash. Fans, unimpressed by the apparent self-promotion, even urged him to retire. Notably, the tweet was edited in response to the negativity.

Furthermore, reports suggest The Rock actively lobbied for the match and sees it as a WrestleMania savior. However, how this unfolds with fans remains to as clear as a Rock Bottom. Only time will tell if the "Great One" delivers a crowd-pleaser or another People's Elbow of disappointment.

Nah, you can’t hide the negativity you’re receiving. Do the right thing, we already know you bought him a house.

What did you do for Cody? You took his spot that he earned.
