Fan Reaction and Business Concerns
Many fans voiced frustration online about the focus shifting to a celebrity. They wanted more emphasis on Rhodes and Orton’s rivalry.
WWE’s ticket strategy added fuel to the discussion. The company offered large discounts for the Show of Shows, prompting talk about demand.
