The WWE Universe has been encouraged to trust Cody Rhodes amid an ongoing campaign for regarding WrestleMania 40’s main event.
On last week’s SmackDown, Rhodes graciously stepped aside to allow The Rock to challenge Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 40. This booking decision has been reviled by fans. Despite being one of the most popular Superstars of all time, The Rock’s return is now WWE’s most-disliked YouTube video. It’s not just online that this disdain has been shown. At a WWE live event, fans booed a video showing The Rock’s return on SmackDown.
During this week’s Raw, fans again booed The Rock when a video of his return was aired. Fans were handed pro-Cody Rhodes signs and fans chanted “Rocky Sucks” with an aim at the non-present Brahma Bull. The We Want Cody movement was so loud that both Seth Rollins and Michael Cole acknowledged it during the show, with Cody Rhodes addressing the fans passionately after Raw.
“Trust Me”
Taking to Twitter after this week’s Raw in St. Louis, Rhodes shared his appreciation for the passion shown by the fans at the show. Rhodes also urged fans to trust him as questions remain over what’s to come.
Appreciate the passion, God bless y’all
…but
Trust me

What’s Next?
The Rock and Roman Reigns will be at a WrestleMania kick-off press conference later this week. WWE very deliberately stated that The Rock vs. Roman Reigns is NOT signed yet, which means fans should buckle up for more twists and turns on the Road to WrestleMania.
“Though not yet official, it appears The Rock & Roman Reigns are on a collision course perhaps at WrestleMania. [The Rock’s] appearance sparked controversy. Will this match become official? We're going to find out Thursday."
