If you are a fan of pro wrestling, then you are no stranger to the online drama that erupted in the last couple of days. Fans have been quite vocal about how they feel about Dwayne Johnson taking Cody Rhodes’ WrestleMania 40 spot. While the fans did want to see Johnson and Roman Reigns have a showdown, they did not want it to happen at the expense of Rhodes’ career. What has infuriated the fans the most is the fact that Rhodes has been reaching new heights lately by becoming the first superstar in over two decades to win two Royal Rumbles back-to-back. As fans are still supporting the American Nightmare, here are a few things that you need to know about the Nightmare Revolution.

Cody Rhodes becomes the headline

The pop-culture website, TMZ rarely covers what is happening inside the WWE ring. However, the magazine covered the change in storyline solely because fans have hijacked every form of social media they could have access to. The first blow to WWE was seen on the company’s official YouTube channel. The highlight clip which showed Rhodes calling Dwayne Johnson to the ring and taking a step back from challenging Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 40 has broken the record of most disliked WWE video on YouTube in 24 hours and is on its way to reaching almost a million dislikes.
