Dwayne Johnson vs Roman Reigns: The Rock Teases a Heel Turn Ahead of His WrestleMania 40 Kickoff; Calls Out Cody Rhodes’ Fanbase

Dwayne Johnson has received plenty of heat online in the past few days. The only reason behind the same is that Johnson was involved in the decision to make Cody Rhodes step down from his WrestleMania 40 main event against Roman Reigns. Although fans wanted to see The Rock taking on his distant Samoan cousin in a wrestling match, they have been revolting ever since they got to know that he would be hindering Cody Rhodes’ story.

Dwayne Johnson finally flips on WWE fans

Because of his latest position as a board member at TKO, Dwayne Johnson holds a powerful say in the decision making of the company. So, when the Stamford-based company was weighing whether they should move ahead with Cody Rhodes vs Roman Reigns, reports suggest The Rock pushed for it to be the other way around; leading several fans to be unhappy.

After waiting a long while, Johnson finally had the opportunity to address the angry fans online. So, during the live show in which he was featured, DJ talked about Cody Rhodes and his fans.

While talking to Pat McAfee during a live interview on The Pat McAfee Show, the WWE legend hinted at the possibility of him turning heel soon. This is because the former wrestler shed light on the controversy after several virtual callouts. In the interview, Johnson criticized Cody Rhodes’ fanbase by saying, “So now…was not surprised at it, did expect it but here’s the fun part, love Cody, love his passionate fans, then there’s the other passionate Cody fans & they are called ‘Cody crybabies’.”

Although Johnson has not been giving this social media revolt much thought, the way he called out the entire fanbase, could be a hint about how it can lead to him turning heel. Since WrestleMania Kickoff is tonight, fans should look out for this change. Due to this, his confidence has also skyrocketed.
