The anticipation for WrestleMania 40 is building as The Rock and Roman Reigns gear up for a potential clash that could redefine their relationship.
Speculation abounds whether The Final Boss might betray The Tribal Chief during their tag team match on Night 1 or Reigns’ Universal Championship bout against Cody Rhodes on Night 2.
Should such a betrayal occur, it would likely ignite a feud between the two megastars, possibly culminating in a showdown at WrestleMania 41. Such a development would not only reignite their rivalry but also bring a nearly four-decade-old feud involving their fathers, Rocky Johnson and Sika, full circle.
Reflecting on their family history, The Rock highlighted the deep-rooted connection between them during an appearance alongside Reigns on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.
He recounted how their fathers, along with Uncle Afa, and Sika, were pivotal figures in WWE’s early days, laying the groundwork for their storied wrestling legacies.
The legacy of rivalry doesn’t end there. Reigns’ father, Sika, also shared the ring with Dusty Rhodes, Cody Rhodes’ father, in a clash that occurred over four decades ago.
Now, the next generation finds themselves on the cusp of a potentially historic showdown at WrestleMania, marking the continuation of a legacy-rich rivalry.
In wrestling, family ties run deep, with Reigns drawing inspiration from his father’s teachings and guidance.
His commitment to upholding the Samoan legacy in WWE has been evident throughout his reign as Universal Champion, a tenure spanning over three and a half years.
While The Rock and Reigns share a close bond outside the ring, their familial connection adds an intriguing layer to their potential clash. If The Rock were to betray Reigns at WrestleMania, it could pave the way for a compelling storyline, potentially leading to The Tribal Chief’s transition from heel to babyface.
As WrestleMania draws near, the stage is set for a collision of titanic proportions, one that could redefine the terrain of WWE and the legacy of two of its most iconic families.
