Fans Blame The Rock for WrestleMania 41 Backlash

WWE fans and commentators expressed widespread disappointment and confusion over The Rock's absence from WrestleMania 41, especially given his pivotal role in setting up John Cena's historic heel turn at Elimination Chamber. Despite heavy anticipation that The Rock would appear to advance the storyline involving Cena and Cody Rhodes, he was absent from WWE television in the weeks leading up to and during the main event, where rapper Travis Scott intervened instead. This creative decision drew sharp criticism from fans, who felt the storyline was left unresolved and the main event undermined, with some blaming The Rock, WWE's creative team, and even Triple H for the outcome. The lack of explanation regarding The Rock's disappearance and his influence behind the scenes fueled speculation about backstage issues and dissatisfaction among both fans and wrestling insiders. The situation has sparked debates over responsibility between The Rock and WWE leadership, leaving the future of the storyline uncertain. The collective sentiment is that an opportunity for a memorable WrestleMania moment was squandered due to the mishandling of The Rock's involvement.
