The Rock Says It\’s \”Crazy\” Ava Received Death Threats Over WWE WrestleMania Build

ByThomas LowsonProfessional Wrestling Journalist

WWE NXT General Manager Ava receiving death threats over her father\’s return to the company is simply crazy, according to The Rock. 

Ever since The Rock\’s return to WWE last week, the fans have made clear that they wanted to see Cody Rhodes challenge Roman Reigns instead of the Great One. Videos of The Rock at WWE events have been booed, while the YouTube video of his comeback has become WWE\’s most disliked video of all time. This week\’s Raw saw \”Rocky sucks\” chants so loud that Michael Cole acknowledged them on commentary. 

The Rock on Ava\’s Death Threats

The Rock\’s daughter Ava has not been spared from the backlash of her father\’s comeback. Ava was on the receiving end of death threats from fans which ultimately led to the youngest General Manager in WWE history deactivating her Twitter account. During an episode of the Pat McAfee Show, The Rock said it was crazy to see her daughter receive death threats over WWE\’s plans and his return. 

She’s feeling it too [the fan backlash]… Oh yeah, Cody’s gotta finish his story… By the way, she’s also got death threats. It’s crazy… C’mon guys, we’re all in this thing, and by the way, what happens in the middle of the ring and on these storylines, don’t forget that, again inside baseball, outside the ring, we all talk. We all can figure this thing out while working together.

What\’s Next? 

At the WrestleMania 40 kickoff press conference, Cody Rhodes chose to face Roman Reigns at the two-night event in April. This would infuriate Reigns, who had earlier in the show said that he would be facing The Rock in April. The Rock would also slap Cody during the press conference, with suspicions that all three men could face off at WrestleMania 40.
