Cody Rhodes defeated Roman Reigns to win the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship in the main event of WrestleMania 40 (Night Two).
While Cody’s landmark title victory is being celebrated by fans, a co-worker has expressed a more pessimistic outlook.
Taking to Twitter, NXT Superstar Dijak claimed that the WWE Universe would turn on Rhodes eventually.
He tweeted, “It won’t be tomorrow, it won’t be next week, it won’t be next month, might not even be next year… but one day you guys are gonna turn so hard on Cody and boo his ass out of the building and when that day comes all I’m going to do is reference this post and tell you I was right.”

On the latest edition of WWE’s “The Bump,” Jey Uso discussed Cody beating Roman for the Undisputed WWE Universal Title at WrestleMania 40 (Night Two) last night.
Jey had defeated his brother, Jimmy Uso, on the inaugural night of WrestleMania XL.
He said, “It’s crazy because it’s over now. Even the reign, seeing [Roman] walk off with no belt, he’s usually the one closing the show, right. He’s the one with the big pyro. But we all gonna have to get used to it. Seeing all the greats out there. Standing out there with John Cena, I was low-key looking at John Cena like, ‘Man, you’re here.’ I’m like, Randy’s here. There goes ‘Yeah’ LA Knight. I’m just being a fan, too. But I feel like the story’s still getting written. You know what I’m saying? I don’t think it’s ending. To be honest, I think we just getting started. For real, I’m excited to see how it unfolds, and I’m excited for the people to go on a ride with us. They deserve that.”
In a historic moment at WrestleMania 40 (Night Two), Cody Rhodes emerged victorious over Roman Reigns to become the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion. This landmark title victory has been met with celebration from fans, but not everyone shares the same optimism. NXT Superstar Dijak took to Twitter to express his belief that the WWE Universe will eventually turn on Rhodes.
Dijak’s tweet stated, “It won’t be tomorrow, it won’t be next week, it won’t be next month, might not even be next year… but one day you guys are gonna turn so hard on Cody and boo his ass out of the building and when that day comes all I’m going to do is reference this post and tell you I was right.”
While Dijak’s prediction may seem pessimistic, it raises an interesting point about the fickle nature of wrestling fans. Throughout history, we have seen beloved wrestlers eventually fall out of favor with the audience. The reasons for this can vary, from creative decisions to changes in character or simply a desire for something new. It is not uncommon for fans to turn on a once-popular wrestler and boo them mercilessly.
However, it is important to note that wrestling storylines are constantly evolving. Jey Uso, who had his own victory over his brother Jimmy Uso at WrestleMania XL, shared his thoughts on Cody’s win during an episode of WWE’s “The Bump.” He acknowledged the significance of Roman Reigns, typically the one closing the show with grand pyrotechnics, walking away without the championship belt. Jey also expressed his excitement for the future and the unfolding storylines.
Jey said, “I feel like the story’s still getting written… I think we just getting started. For real, I’m excited to see how it unfolds, and I’m excited for the people to go on a ride with us. They deserve that.”
Jey’s perspective reminds us that wrestling is an ongoing narrative, and the reactions of the fans can change over time. While Dijak’s prediction may hold some truth, it is also possible that Cody Rhodes will continue to captivate the audience and maintain their support.
Ultimately, the WWE Universe’s response to Cody’s title reign will depend on a multitude of factors, including the direction of his character, the quality of his matches, and the storytelling surrounding his championship run. Only time will tell if Dijak’s prediction comes true or if Cody Rhodes will defy expectations and remain a beloved figure in the world of professional wrestling.
