The Rock was the principal attraction of the latest episode of Friday Night SmackDown. In the main event of the show, Roman Reigns appeared with his faction and introduced The Rock as a new member of The Bloodline. The People’s Champ then introduced himself to the crowd.

The Rock played his heel part with perfection to the Salt Lake City fans. Fans in attendance invited the ire of The Rock after they began chanting Steve Austin’s catchphrase, “What?”. The Brahma Bull blamed the WWE Universe for ruining his match against Roman Reigns at WrestleMania. Moreover, he assured fans that Cody Rhodes would leave the main event without his cousin’s belt. And while this segment portrayed a sentiment against fans, it received adulation from the wrestling faithful as it broke Cody Rhodes’ incredible feat on YouTube.

The Rock gets all the attention back to him

On the contrary, a few days ago, on Monday Night RAW, Cody Rhodes acknowledged the fan support he got as the fans trended #WeWantCody. In the segment, he addressed the infamous slap and the Rock’s words against him. He also thanked World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins, who joined him in the ring for the promo and later offered to stand alongside the American Nightmare as his ultimate shield in his fight against the Bloodline.

The much-loved segment managed to get 1,064,704 views on YouTube in just nine hours but now stands at 2.3 million views in four days. It took the Brahma Bull less than a day to reach the same views as the American Nightmare’s segment. No wonder he is called the ‘People’s Champ’.

However, there is another unfortunate record on YouTube that is also held by Dwayne Johnson and his cousin, as they broke the internet a few days back with the infamous segment that started the #WeWantCody.

When the Rock and Roman Reigns became the most disliked duo

A few weeks ago on SmackDown, Cody Rhodes stepped into the ring to make his decision ahead of WrestleMania 40. However, it was revealed that he would not face Reigns at WrestleMania, and he introduced The Rock instead, who looked forward to facing Reigns in “The Showcase of the Immortals” and leaving them face-to-face while the show went off the air.

The segment went viral on social networks, and it didn’t take long to be among the top global trends. The video of the full segment reached record numbers, getting more than 100,000 likes. However, the most revealing and striking number was the number of dislikes, exceeding half a million in about 24 hours. This was undoubtedly a reflection of the negative opinions fans held toward the idea of not having Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns star in this year’s edition of WrestleMania.

But thanks to the backlash, the American Nightmare has earned his spot. He now looks forward to finishing his story by dethroning the Tribal Chief as the undisputed Universal Champion. What do you think? Would Rhodes be able to pull it off this year or would the Rock spell doom for the fan favorite? Let us know in the comments.
