WWE Star Replaced, Wins Championship

The wrestling world has been left confused by recent events on Friday's SmackDown, which saw Royal Rumble winner Cody Rhodes seemingly give up his shot at Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns at this year's WrestleMania in favour of a match with The Rock. The Hollywood star, who is also Reigns' cousin in real life, returned to WWE earlier in the month but had not been expected to compete at this year's Showcase of Immortals. There has been widespread criticism from fans regarding the match, which has not yet been confirmed, and some have expressed their disappointment on social media, including Logan Paul. Cody and The Rock are both advertised for a media event on Thursday, where it is expected the match will be confirmed.
