Netflix RAW Premiere was an epic show as some of the biggest legends made surprise appearances, and the show also featured some amazing PLE standard matches. One of the major returns that the fans witnessed was of The Rock who was already reported to be appearing on this grand show.
But his actions following his return sparked controversies and backlash among the fans as The Final Boss turned babyface at the mentioned show which shocked the entire world. He was doing an excellent job as a heel, his feud with Cody Rhodes was also going great. Whatever Dwayne did to Cody Rhodes throughout this feud was pure evil and the fans had a great reason to hate The People’s Champion.
Major Update on The Rock’s WrestleMania 41 Status! Also; Why The Rock Turned Babyface on Netflix RAW Premiere
But his babyface turn at the Netflix RAW Premiere sent everything down the drain. The worst angle was his celebration with the present Undisputed WWE Champion, they even hugged each other. This was definitely done on purpose and the fans were extremely happy with this angle from last night.
The Rock was previously rumored to face Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 41
It was also quite confusing, why did they bring in such a segment that completely destroyed everything the duo did throughout this feud. Dwayne’s Bad Blood appearance also feels totally feels pointless now. Reports are now coming out on the real reason behind this face turn. Ibou, of WrestlePurists wrote the following on his X / Twitter;
The Rock is now out of WrestleMania 41 according to reports
“Rock has to do Moana reshoots that were originally not planned and accounted for. The match on slate right now is Cody/Cena. Triple H has a couple WM cards prepared in case of emergency. WWE is working with card #2, Cena/Rhodes and Reigns/Punk being your headliners.”
So this is pretty much clear that Rock is now out of WrestleMania 41 and the reported Cody Rhodes vs. Rock match is not happening anymore. This makes the fans question if Dwayne’s status was so uncertain, then why did they have to build everything around him? And even if he out of WrestleMania 41, was it really necessary to brought the angle between him and Cody Rhodes at Netflix RAW Premiere?
