WWE Locker Rooms Reaction To The Rock Taking Cody Rhodes Spot

Publish date: 2024-03-18

Cody Rhodes was bound to finish his story of becoming the world champion for his father, the late Dusty Rhodes this year at WrestleMania. However, the involvement of one of the biggest WWE stars, The Rock has completely changed the game.

The 2024 Royal Rumble winner came to SmackDown to go head-to-head with the Undisputed WWE Universal champion, Roman Reigns, and also reveal his WrestleMania decision.

However, to the shock of many, he chose not to pick the Tribal Chief for WrestleMania 40 and instead paved the way for The Rock’s return to confront his dominant cousin. The stare-down between the two iconic Anoa’i stars indicated the dream showdown slated for The Show of Shows in Philadelphia this year.

According to a report by Fightful, the reaction of the WWE locker room backstage to The Rock being inserted into the WrestleMania picture instead of Cody Rhodes was an absolute shocker.

“The reaction backstage to The Rock taking Cody Rhodes’ spot was one of shock.”

It has been very evident that wrestling fans are not happy with WWE’s decision, voicing their displeasure and showing major support for Cody Rhodes. With the American Nightmare firmly backed by the WWE Universe, it would be interesting to see this story unfold on the road to WrestleMania.

Do you think WWE would change their decision after backlash from fans? Sound off in the comments!
