The conclusion of the latest episode of WWE SmackDown left fans divided, particularly as The Rock confronted Roman Reigns. This unexpected encounter transpired after Cody Rhodes brought out the Hollywood megastar, seemingly relinquishing his title shot for WrestleMania 40.
Many fans expressed disappointment over this development, feeling that WWE’s prominent hero was relegated to a secondary role in favor of a part-time performer. Their sentiments are echoed by former superstars, including Summer Rae.
The former female WWE Superstar, last seen at the 2022 Royal Rumble, voiced her discontent with the events on SmackDown. Rae took to Twitter to express her preference for a WrestleMania 40 matchup between Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes instead of involving The Rock.
In another post, she criticized both The Tribal Chief and The Great One for their part-time commitments, also lamenting WWE’s handling of The American Nightmare’s victory in the 2024 Men’s Royal Rumble.
“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 shows up to tv,” Summer Rae shared on social media.
