WWE’s flagship event has sparked significant online criticism following its controversial conclusion in Las Vegas. Social media platforms have been flooded with negative reactions from disgruntled viewers expressing frustration toward the creative direction.
John Cena captured the Undisputed WWE Championship from Cody Rhodes in the WrestleMania 41 main event through controversial means involving outside interference from Travis Scott. This finish prompted numerous viewers to voice their disapproval, with many directly questioning Triple H’s creative leadership. Multiple social media posts called for his removal from the creative team position.
“Fire Triple H from creative after this ridiculous weekend (yes, I wanted Cena to win, but what the f*ck?),” wrote one fan on X. Another stated, “It was literally the worst #WrestleMania ever… what a terrible ending,” while a separate post claimed, “Fire Triple H. He’s ruining the industry.”
The criticism extended beyond just the main event finish, with comparisons drawn to WrestleMania 27. Several fans noted the event “there was no WrestleMania atmosphere” and resembled “just another PPV.” Some viewers specifically highlighted the title match’s finish, noting that Cena’s use of the championship belt against Rhodes constituted an illegal tactic that won’t be reflected in the record books.
Some voices even called for Vince McMahon’s return to creative control. WWE has not issued formal comments addressing the widespread criticism or questions about Triple H’s creative direction following this significant fan reaction.
