However, on a recent episode of SmackDown, The Great One declined the proposal and instead suggested a tag team match at Night One of WrestleMania XL, pitting The Bloodline against Rhodes and Rollins.
WrestleOps’ official Twitter account posted the top 10 t-shirt merchandise sellers’ list, revealing that Roman Reigns and The Rock claimed the 4th and 5th spots, respectively.
Meanwhile, Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins secured the 6th and 7th positions. Fans engaged in discussions and reactions in the comments section.
Some fans celebrated Roman Reigns’ success over Cody Rhodes, while others playfully dubbed Jey Uso “The Real Tribal Chief” due to higher t-shirt sales.

Some expressed no surprise at The Bloodline outselling Cody Rhodes, and there was satisfaction in seeing The Rock surpass Rhodes on the merchandise list.
In a recent edition of the Busted Open Podcast, Tommy Dreamer shared his desire to see challenges intensify for Cody Rhodes leading up to his WrestleMania match against Roman Reigns.
Dreamer suggested that a win for The Rock and The Tribal Chief in the tag team match at WrestleMania XL Night One would add complexity to Rhodes’ storyline.
As speculation and anticipation build around The Rock’s plans for WrestleMania, fans are eager to witness the unfolding drama and potential surprises during this highly anticipated event.
