"Wrestling enthusiasts speculate that The Rock sabotaged WrestleMania, fueling suspicions about his relationship with Triple H."
Fans Blast 'The Rock's' Absence at WrestleMania 41
Social media has been abuzz with frustration over Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson's absence at WrestleMania 41. After igniting John Cena's heel transformation seven weeks prior, fans expected The Rock to be heavily involved in the highly-anticipated storyline. But, to no avail.
Cena, aided by rapper Travis Scott, cost Cody Rhodes the title instead, securing his own 17th world championship - a record in WWE. Fans, left puzzled and enraged, questioned the lack of The Rock's presence in the storyline's buildup.
Many wondered if The Rock's absence was due to conflicting interests or a tiff with Triple H, as they pointed to his unpredictable schedule and inconsistent appearance in WWE events. Some fans even suggested that his appearance in Bad Blood last October, which never materialized into anything substantial, was another example of such inconsistency.
As #TheRock started trending for all the wrong reasons, disgruntled viewers criticized him for "ruining" WrestleMania. Some labeled him as the biggest fraud in wrestling history, while others claimed he only participates when it's convenient for him.
Despite these sentiments, The Rock still maintains his stance, explaining during an interview that his role was to initiate the storyline and promote the events, before removing himself to let the other wrestlers have their time in the limelight.
In light of this, it seems that fans may have felt a bit shortchanged, wanting closure to the storyline that was kickstarted by The Rock. His unexpected disappearance left many questioning if he had inadvertently served John Cena's heel turn even before he set foot in the ring.
