Major WWE name asked for Cody Rhodes vs. Roman Reigns after heavy backlash from fans -Reports

The latest report sheds light on a Major WWE name who asked for Cody Rhodes vs. Roman Reigns to be booked after heavy backlash from fans.

The Rock returned to World Wrestling Entertainment during a recent episode of SmackDown. He seemingly took Rhodes' WrestleMania XL spot, which received wide backlash from the WWE Universe as they wanted The American Nightmare to finish his story by dethroning The Tribal Chief as the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion.

The backlash ultimately led to Cody Rhodes choosing Roman Reigns at the WrestleMania Kickoff press event. However, during the event, The Rock turned heel, slapping Rhodes after he talked about the Anoa'i Family.

According to the latest report by Wrestling Observer Radio, the idea to book a match between The American Nightmare and The Tribal Chief was given by none other than Dwayne Johnson himself. The Great One gave the idea after looking at the negative reaction during the weekend after his appearance on SmackDown.

The report also mentioned that The People's Champ pitched that he should turn heel as the fans were already going to boo him.
