WrestleMania night 2 brought the biggest shock to most of the WWE fans when Cody Rhodes lost to Roman Reigns in the much-hyped main event match at SoFi stadium, California. With the story behind Rhodes’ quest and redemption, he looked set to win the WWE Championship. But then Solo Sikoa came to Reigns’ help and hit Rhodes with a Samoan Spike while Heyman distracted the referee. This allowed Reigns the golden chance to hit the spear and pin his opponent.

The majority of the fans took out their anger on Triple H and Vince McMahon, given that a recent YouTube video consisting of the highlights of the Cody Rhodes vs Roman Reigns WrestleMania match on WWE’s official channel saw a major increase in dislikes. That too happened within a very short period.

Though during a post-match interview, Triple H addressed the shocking result and had his formal justification for it, it didn’t suffice in respect of fans’ sentiments. Within less than 24 hours, another major disappointment came in the form of the RAW after WrestleMania episode.

Raw after WrestleMania was another disappointment to the fans

Usually Raw after WrestleMania has some surprises, thrills, new storylines, and new shades of characters on offer to the fans. But last night’s Raw episode didn’t come close to the expectations. WWE faithful was upset over the poor handling of the women’s segment, many late rewrites, and a few more unwanted booking decisions.

The reason came to light later when it has been confirmed that Vince McMahon is already back with his greater control over creative following a blockbuster merger deal with UFC.  Overall, Triple H and Vince McMahon are not in the good books of the majority fanbase as long as the current circumstances keep prevailing.
