"The Rock's WrestleMania Main Event Controversy Sparks Fan Backlash and WWE's Response"

Despite the strong reaction to Cody Rhodes not facing Roman Reigns at WrestleMania, plans for The Rock to take on Reigns are still 100% the plan, likely contractually locked in as part of Rock's deal with WWE. Brian Gewirtz, who works with The Rock, is expected to be involved in the creative process heading into WrestleMania 40. WWE has taken notice of the fan support for Rhodes and may lean into the situation to make him a stronger babyface. There are discussions about potential creative adjustments leading up to WrestleMania, and reports of a Rhodes vs. Reigns match for SummerSlam are not confirmed at this point.
