Roman Reigns was ready to face The Rock at WrestleMania 40 before the crybaby fans caused WWE to greatly alter the match.
For the longest time, WWE wanted to produce Roman Reigns vs The Rock. Mostly, Hollywood got in the way but things dramatically this year. The Rock joined the TKO Board and he began a program with Reigns. The timing was the issue as Cody Rhodes just won the Royal Rumble for a chance to finish his story at WrestleMania against Reigns. Fans did not like how The Rock injected himself into the match and they began to turn on him. Therefore, WWE major huge changes with The Rock & Reigns vs Rhodes and Seth Rollins on night one and then Reigns vs Rhodes for the title on night two.

On The Pat McAfee Show, Reigns called-out the crybaby fans who ruined what many saw as a dream encounter.
“It’s two of the greatest superstars to ever do it,” said Reigns. “We have one who is currently dominating Hollywood and the other currently dominating WWE. Why wouldn’t you want to put that match together? That’s the big gripe with Cody. He’s a crybaby. We have given that bum plenty of time. We’ve given that chump plenty of time to do his thing. That small minority of our WWE wrestling fanbase weren’t a bunch of bitches, crying the whole time, he would have never got that buzz and ya’ll would have been smitten with The Rock vs. Tribal Chiefs.”
Remember, WWE has not given up on The Rock vs Reigns. They have been teasing tension on TV, leading to speculation. If a match does happen, the fall pay per view from Saudi Arabia is the front-runner because of Hollywood. So, is Roman Reigns right about crybaby fans ruining his proposed WrestleMania 40 match with The Rock?
