The Rock vs. Roman Reigns Segment From SmackDown Is WWE's Most Disliked YouTube Video Ever

Join us at the Fifth Annual 80s Wrestling Con on Saturday, May 4th, at the Mennen Sports Arena in Morristown, NJ, featuring The Four Horsemen, Jake Roberts, and More! 80sWrestlingCon.com.

The fans who attended WWE SmackDown in Birmingham seemed happy to see The Rock step in to stand in the ring with Roman Reigns but fans on social media aren't as thrilled to see him.

As most of you know by now, Cody Rhodes announced that he would be stepping aside and he would not be challenging Roman Reigns for the Undisputed Universal Championship at WrestleMania 40 and that match will go to The Rock. The show ended with Cody walking to the back and Rock and Reigns standing face to face. The match is expected to be made official this Thursday at a press conference in Las Vegas and it looks like Cody will challenge for Seth Rollins' World Heavyweight Championship.

On social media, there is some happiness over the change but the overall sentiment seems to be negative on The Rock. As of this writing, the full segment posted on WWE's YouTube has over 65,000 likes and 235,000 dislikes. This makes it the most disliked WWE video ever.

Dave Meltzer stated on the Wrestling Observer Board that this was a late decision and when Cody won the Royal Rumble, the plan was for him to challenge Reigns at Mania but Brock Lesnar being pulled from creative plans and CM Punk's injury caused a domino effect. Additionally, The Rock pushed hard for the match with Reigns and WWE felt that they needed something big that would get them away from the negative Vince McMahon headlines.
