The Rock vs Roman Reigns could be cancelled

WWE might again be forced to change their Wrestlemania 40 plans after fans displayed their disapproval for the Roman Reigns vs The Rock match.

TKO Group Holdings Board of Directors member Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson returned to SmackDown last week and made it clear that he was the one facing Reigns at WM and not 2024 Men’s Royal Rumble winner Cody Rhodes.

WWE fans were left fuming after the company decided to replace Rhodes with “The Rock” and this has led to scores of wrestling lovers calling for the WWE to scrap the main event of Wrestlemania.
