The Rock Says He’s Playing the “Long Game” After WrestleMania Controversy

The Rock’s return to WWE TV and his confrontation with Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns on Friday’s WWE SmackDown has sparked significant reactions and discussions among fans.

In an Instagram post, The Rock shared his excitement about the upcoming showdown with the caption, “This is gonna be so much fun. Long game.” This suggests that The Rock is looking forward to the storyline and rivalry with Roman Reigns as they head toward WrestleMania 40.

However, it’s worth noting that not all fans have been pleased with the direction of The Rock vs. Roman Reigns, as evidenced by the significant number of dislikes on the SmackDown video and the social media backlash on WWE’s official Facebook page. The hashtag “We Want Cody” has been trending on social media, indicating that some fans may have preferred to see Cody Rhodes in the match against Reigns.

The Rock’s return has certainly generated a mix of excitement and controversy among wrestling fans, setting the stage for a potentially compelling storyline leading up to WrestleMania 40.
