The WWE Universe recently took to Twitter to lash out at the company for censoring chants in support of Cody Rhodes after the latest episode of Monday Night RAW went off the air.

On last week's episode of SmackDown, Rhodes was supposed to announce his opponent for WrestleMania 40. However, The American Nightmare headed backstage after setting up The Rock's return. The Great One stood face-to-face with Roman Reigns, and WWE later announced that the two real-life cousins would be at a special WWE WrestleMania 40 kickoff press event this week.

This did not sit well with fans, and they started calling out The People's Champ and the Stamford-based promotion for ruining Cody Rhodes' story. The American Nightmare has since been trending across several social media platforms.

During the latest episode of Monday Night RAW, the audience continued to show their support for Rhodes with chants of "We want Cody" and "Rocky s*cks."

Former WWE writer believes The Rock will put more "heat" on Roman Reigns

During a recent edition of Sportskeeda Wrestling's Legion of RAW, former WWE writer Vince Russo said that The Rock will not lose to Roman Reigns in a potential match at WrestleMania 40 because he believes the wrestling business is all about yourself.

"Bro, why would [The] Rock do the job for Reigns? [Do] you think [The] Rock gives one s**t about, pardon my French, one c**p about getting more heat on Roman Reigns, which gets more people behind [him]? Bro, this is the wrestling business. The wrestling business is about me, myself and I," Russo said.

Fans continue to show their support for Cody Rhodes and want the Stamford-based promotion to let him finish his story by dethroning Roman Reigns. It remains to be seen what the company has planned for the star's future.
