"A side player in his own story" - WWE Universe blasts Roman Reigns following The Rock's attack on Cody Rhodes on RAW

The WWE Universe recently took to social media to blast Roman Reigns after The Rock's and Cody Rhodes' segment on the latest episode of Monday Night RAW.

During this week's edition of RAW, The Great One made a surprise appearance by interrupting Rhodes, who was talking about his matches at WWE WrestleMania XL. The People's Champ whispered something to The American Nightmare before heading out. However, before the show went off the air, The Final Boss obliterated Cody backstage and on the roof of the arena.

Following the show, Ibou of WrestlePurists took to Twitter to call out Roman Reigns for not being present on RAW and react to the brutal beatdown of Cody Rhodes at the hands of The Rock.

Dutch Mantell believes The Rock has overshadowed Roman Reigns in WWE

During a recent edition of Sportskeeda Wrestling's SmackTalk, Dutch Mantell said that he believes The Rock's return has overshadowed Roman Reigns.

Mantell also mentioned that it was not The Tribal Chief's fault because The Great One's aura can overshadow anyone.

"Yeah, overshadow, I won't say being buried! But when you bring in The Rock, he is going to overshadow everybody; I don't care who they are!" Mantell explained.

Many fans believe WWE might book a singles match between The Final Boss and The American Nightmare at SummerSlam 2024. It will be interesting to see what the Stamford-based promotion has planned for the duo's feud.
