Luke Littler has been told to “behave” after backing Roman Reigns over Cody Rhodes for WrestleMania XL.
The fierce rivals will battle for the WWE Universal Championship at WrestleMania. The Tribal Chief narrowly beat Rhodes at WrestleMania 39 Night 2 last year, with fans buzzing at the prospect of Rhodes’ shot at redemption in Philadelphia.
But Darts sensation Littler, 17, believes the legendary Reigns will retain his title and come out the victor this weekend, having had the question put to him on social media. Yet the World Darts Championship runner-up’s choice did not go down well with some of his fans, who voiced their disappointment in the replies.

“Rare Luke Littler miss,” one X user wrote, while another replied: “NO LUKE WRONG ANSWER.”
A third commented: “Boooo,” while a fourth added: “Poor from you lad.” Others chimed in with: “Behave Luke lad,” and: “Always knew I preferred Luke Humphries.”
Littler revealed this week how a trip to WrestleMania seven years ago inspired his now iconic walk-on music. Many of the teenager’s fans will be aware that he uses ‘Greenlight’ by Pitbull before taking to the oche.
A clip shared by The Nuke himself on X shows a young Luke at the WWE event in Florida, where the song can be heard blaring out of the stadium speakers while he sings along. Explaining his connection to the anthem, Littler told The Sun: “Me and my dad went to WrestleMania 33, seven years ago now, it was in Florida, Orlando.
“It was my first time being there. It was a good song, I was singing my head off as a ten year old. I thought that if I did make it – I was playing football at the time a little bit – then that would be my walk-on.”
WWE in January extended an invite to Littler to attend WWE Live on April 19 in London. They claimed they would even play the song during the event for him.
