PJ Black, known to WWE fans as Justin Gabriel, received some backlash from fans on social media after he cracked a joke about Cody Rhodes. Cody recently parted ways with WWE and he’s already confirmed for several matches on the independent circuit. PJ Black took it upon himself to drop a quote on Twitter seemingly knocking Cody’s upcoming run on the indies and the fans did not respond with kindness.
"I'm so excited for a Cody Rhodes run" – said nobody ever.

The negative replies came in one after another and you can check out a few choice cuts below.
@darewolf333 "darewolf is such a great character" – said no one ever

@darewolf333 it's usually followed by "Justin Gabriel was the breakout star of nexus."

@darewolf333 I've said that, what I've never said is "Oh yay a Justin Gabriel match that I need to see is on" same goes for the "dare wolf"

@darewolf333 I mean, probably more often than they said "Man, I hope Adam Rose brings the bunny with him."

PJ Black then tried to dial it back a little bit by calling Cody talented and saying he was only playing the fans.
so hard lately for me to get boo'd by fans cause I'm such a lovable guy. Now I know how. Just talk shit about a talented performer. #marks

I know right. Smarks. They are so easy to play! RT @motivatexme: @darewolf333 ..I think people don't understand the concept of a joke.
