WWE legend Al Snow flatly disputes WWE President Nick Khan’s version of events surrounding WrestleMania, arguing that anyone who understands booking can see the promotion ‘clearly’ changed its plans for Cody Rhodes, Roman Reigns, and The Rock.
The former WWE star believes Khan is simply defending the company’s public position.
The debate stems from recent comments by Khan, who claimed WWE never altered its direction and that Cody Rhodes defeating Roman Reigns to finish his story was always the intended outcome. Snow disagreed, siding instead with The Rock’s account that plans shifted after fan reaction.
I think The Rock had been telling that story. I think he’s being honest,” Snow said. “I think The Rock’s being honest and I think, you know, things got changed, you know, and and uh went a different direction.
Snow then accused Khan of protecting WWE’s official narrative.
I think, you know, Nick’s towing the company line,” he said.
Snow Points To The Booking As Evidence
Snow argued that the storyline itself revealed a shift in direction, citing how Cody Rhodes was booked at the time.
When you go back and look at it, there was a clear change there,” Snow said. “There’s no question. Anybody that knows anything about booking, there was a clear change.
The Rock has previously stated he personally suggested pivoting away from a singles match between Rhodes and Reigns, contradicting Khan’s claim that the finish was always planned.
Snow Questions Why The Topic Is Public
The outspoken veteran, who has built a reputation for openly challenging wrestling industry decisions, questioned why the matter was being discussed publicly at all.
Who cares? Seriously, how many years has it been since then?” Snow said.
Why are you sharing this with the general public? It’s none of your business what those decisions are and why they were made.
Snow added that fans would enjoy the product more without knowing the behind-the-scenes details.
Quite honestly, if you didn’t know, you’d actually enjoy wrestling a lot more. You’d just be a fan again,” he said.
