Questions Raised After Claim Someone Paid to Boost Dislikes on Cody Rhodes Title Win

TLDR

Questions have been raised about claims that someone paid to artificially boost dislikes on Cody Rhodes' title win over Drew McIntyre on the March 6 episode of WWE SmackDown. A now-deleted Twitter account claimed responsibility for purchasing 65,000 dislikes for $250 and promised to buy 100,000 more, though podcast host Billi Bhatti expressed skepticism about these claims, suggesting the account may have been created by WWE or Cody Rhodes supporters to deflect from genuine fan backlash. The YouTube video of Rhodes' championship victory has become one of WWE's most disliked uploads, with over 180,000 dislikes at the time of reporting.
