We at Real Rasslin have come to learn.
In a turn of events, Ava, daughter of wrestling legend The Rock, has been subjected to death threats from a section of wrestling fans.
This backlash is tied to The Rock’s highly anticipated return to WWE and his securing of a spot at WrestleMania 40, which has sparked considerable controversy among the wrestling community.
WWE News: The Controversy Unfolds
The root of the controversy lies in The Rock’s involvement in WrestleMania 40, where he is set to face the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion, Roman Reigns.
This match, an outcome of The Rock’s recent appointment to the TKO Board of Directors, has been a long-held dream for both him and the company. However, the decision has not sat well with a faction of the WWE fanbase, particularly supporters of Cody Rhodes, who feel aggrieved by The Rock’s position at the event.
WWE’s announcement of The Rock vs. Roman Reigns match, expected to be officially made at the WrestleMania Kickoff event, has led to an unprecedented level of backlash.
The segment’s video on WWE’s YouTube channel has become the most disliked in the channel’s history, reflecting the depth of the fans’ discontent.
WWE News: Ava Caught in the Crossfire
Amidst this turmoil, Ava, who serving as the NXT General Manager, disclosed that she has been receiving death threats from disgruntled fans.
These threats, she asserts, are unwarranted as she has no involvement in the situation that has led to her father’s (The Rock) controversial WrestleMania booking.
The surge in aggressive pro-Cody sentiments on social media, particularly on platforms like Instagram whenever The Rock or WWE posts, underscores the volatile situation.
Wrestling Community’s Reaction
The wrestling community is no stranger to passionate debates and discussions. However, the transition from spirited discourse to threats and harassment crosses a line that should never be breached.
The situation raises questions about the extent to which fandom can impact the personal lives of those associated with the wrestling industry, even tangentially.
