"Not again", "Book it" - Wrestling fans divided over Roman Reigns potentially facing top WWE champion at WrestleMania 40

Fans react to Roman Reigns
Roman Reigns is the current Undisputed WWE Universal Champion.

The wrestling world is debating over Triple H and WWE's decision to book Roman Reigns vs. Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 40.

On the latest episode of Friday Night SmackDown, The American Nightmare and Jey Uso put their Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship on the line against A-Town Down Under, Grayson Waller and Austin Theory.

Rhodes and Main Event Jey successfully defended the title with a massive reception from the fans. As the champions made their exit from the ramp, they met The Bloodline members Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa.

Since The American Nightmare failed to finish his story and dethrone Reigns at WrestleMania 39, it was an intense moment for Cody Rhodes to come face-to-face with The Tribal Chief on last night's SmackDown.

The two men gazed with overwhelming emotions that led fans to wonder if they should face for the second time at WrestleMania 40's Night 2 Main Event in Philadelphia.

Check out the fan reactions below:

Some fans adamantly denied that the Stamford-based company should not pull the trigger on Reigns vs. Rhodes at the upcoming Showcase of the Immortals.

On the other hand, a set of fans want World Wrestling Entertainment to book The American Nightmare vs. The Tribal Chief every chance they get.

Meanwhile, a few fans want a triple-threat championship match between The Rock, Reigns, and The American Nightmare.

40-year-old star confronted Roman Reigns on WWE SmackDown

The Undisputed WWE Universal Champion made his massive return to the blue show in almost two months. John Cena kicked off the show and hyped fans for the Season Premier of SmackDown.

However, Cena's moment with fans was spoiled by Reigns, Sikoa, and Paul Heyman. The champion tried to trash-talk The Leader of Cenation by stating he wouldn't mind sending him back to Hollywood the way he did at SummerSlam 2021.

John Cena threw a curve ball at The Tribal Chief and noted he wasn't present there to challenge him because he did not earn the opportunity.

However, the 16-time World Champion said that there's one superstar who has earned the right to confront The Head of the Table. Right then, LA Knight came out with a thunderous pop. The 40-year-old star asserted that he ran the show in the absence of Roman Reigns.

In the main event, Knight faced Solo Sikoa and took home the win. But after the match, The Tribal Chief delivered a massive Spear to the 40-year-old star.

It remains to be seen if The Megastar and The Bloodline leader will face each other for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship in the future.
