Lots of fans were disappointed that The Rock didnt appear at WrestleMania 41, especially since Travis Scott played a role in helping John Cena win the Undisputed WWE Title. This led to a lot of criticism aimed at The Rock for no-showing WrestleMania 41, but now Ryback has stepped in to defend him.
The Rock responded to Dave LaGreca, who accused him of throwing Triple H under the bus for not showing up at WrestleMania 41 and saying he would have handled the main event differently. The Rock explained that wrestling has always been scripted, with everything planned out, from the matches to the interviews. The Rock invited Dave to join him, Cody Rhodes, John Cena, and others in their creative meetings to understand how it all works. He told Dave to stop complaining and just enjoy the show.
Former WWE Superstar Ryback took to Twitter and defended The Final Boss, saying that if youre truly a fan, you can enjoy wrestling without overreacting to every outcome. He pointed out that when people have no goals or purpose, entertainment becomes their identity, and thats when the hate starts.
Ryback also said that toxic hosts are spreading this negative mindset to a new generation and emphasized that the issue isnt wrestling, its the mindset of those who spread hate.
The Rock explained that he missed WrestleMania 41 sincehe wanted John Cena to have all the attention after winning his 17th World Championship, but a lot of people really didnt buy his explanation at all.
The debate over The Rocks comments brings attention to a bigger issue in the wrestling community: the way fans react to scripted outcomes. The Big Guy made it clear actual fans dont go crazy over predetermined outcomes, so well have to see if people will agree with what he had to say.
