On the latest edition of SmackDown, Rhodes announced that he won't be challenging Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 40. A 'Mania showdown between The Rock and Reigns was teased immediately after.
Since then, fans have rallied behind Cody Rhodes like never before. He has received tons of support on social media over the past 24 hours. At tonight's live event in Knoxville, Rhodes finally made his first comment following last night's controversial segment. The American Nightmare steered clear of speaking about last night's events and instead focused on having a good time with the fans in attendance.

Rhodes took a piece of the broken table and stated that he would give it to the loudest fan in the arena. Cody then gave it to one of the fans to a loud pop. He then told the fans that he would sign some autographs and pictures and then apologized beforehand in case he couldn't do it for everyone.

Judging by the reaction to Cody Rhodes' promo, he is as over as he's ever been. Fans want him to "finish the story" at this year's WrestleMania, and the social media backlash is a clear indication that they don't want to see The Rock replace The American Nightmare.
What do you think? Will WWE listen to the fans?

Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.
He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.
Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
