The Rock has stirred up even more drama heading into the must-watch WrestleMania 40 press conference happening tonight at 7 PM Eastern. With fans upset with the former WWE star and Hollywood icon, The Rock appeared on the Pat McAfee Show today and didn’t hold back his feelings towards emotional Cody Rhodes fans who have been trying to make “We Want Cody” trend so much that WWE changes their assumed creative plans for the biggest show of the year. Trying to get “Cody Crybabies” trending, The Rock is taking an intriguing approach to the backlash.
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson addressed the intense criticism surrounding his potential match against Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 40. The controversy stems from The Rock seemingly taking Cody Rhodes’ place, who won the Men’s Royal Rumble Match. And, because Johnson is now on the TKO Board of Directors, the assumption is he wielded a lot of political power backstage to steal that spot on the grandest stage of them all, sacrificing logical storylines in the process.
As WWE gears up for the WrestleMania 40 Kickoff Event, speculation is rife about The Rock’s showdown with Reigns, yet fans are divided on the legitimacy of this bout. Many realize The Rock vs. Roman is a mega match that will be huge for the general audience. However, passionate Cody Rhodes’ fans aren’t pleased he’s potentially going to be pushed aside to make this dream match possible.
The Rock Calls Out Over-Passionate Cody Fans, Labeling them “Cody Crybabies”
During an appearance on the Pat McAfee Show, The Rock took a flamboyant dig at the disgruntled fans, playfully mocking the “Cody crybabies.” He urged them to “sit back and enjoy the ride,” dismissing their discontent with a characteristic swagger.
The Rock humorously remarked that for every wave of complaints, the critics were busy indulging in amusing antics involving Chicken McNuggets. He concluded by advising them to “know your role, shut your mouth, and enjoy the ride that The Rock is gonna take your candy asses on,” capping off his message with hashtags like #CodyCrybabies and #ShutYourBitchAssesUp.
As the anticipation builds for WrestleMania 40, The Rock’s charismatic response adds a layer of entertainment to the unfolding drama, setting the stage for what promises to be a headline-grabbing event.
Fans are now wondering if this is The Rock turning heel. Others wonder if he’s just addressing members of the WWE Universe who too quickly jumped the gun and assumed the storyline wouldn’t make sense. Everyone is about to get an answer on Thursday night. One thing is clear, The Rock did confirm he will be stepping back into the ring and has been training to do so for a couple of months.
