In the latest episode of WWE SmackDown, Roman Reigns officially welcomed The Rock into The Bloodline, solidifying their alliance.
This revelation unfolded following The People’s Champion’s alignment with Reigns at the WrestleMania XL Kickoff press event. With The Rock’s induction into The Bloodline confirmed, many speculate potential trouble ahead for Cody Rhodes.
However, contrary to expectations, it may be Roman Reigns who faces the brunt of the consequences. As WrestleMania XL approaches, there’s a significant likelihood that The Rock harbors intentions to dismantle The Tribal Chief’s reign and seize control of The Bloodline.
The premise for The Rock’s potential betrayal draws parallels to his past actions. In 1997, The Most Electrifying Man in Sports Entertainment joined The Nation of Domination under Farooq’s leadership, garnering immense popularity within the faction.
However, a year later, following WrestleMania XIV, The Rock orchestrated a coup within the group, usurping Farooq’s leadership and implementing sweeping changes.
This historical precedent suggests that The Rock may seek to replicate his past actions by supplanting Reigns as The Bloodline’s leader.
Following The Rock’s captivating promo on SmackDown, where he seemingly acknowledged Roman Reigns with a traditional Bloodline gesture, WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray pointed out a subtle discrepancy.
Taking to social media platform X, Ray highlighted that The Rock’s hand gesture differed from that of other Bloodline members, implying a lack of proper acknowledgment towards Reigns.
Ray’s observation sparked discussions among fans regarding the significance of this deviation from the norm.
In addition to this moment, various instances during the episode hinted at The Rock’s focus being on Roman Reigns rather than Cody Rhodes.
These occurrences fuel speculation about the possibility of The Rock turning against Reigns in the lead-up to WrestleMania XL or even during the highly anticipated event itself.
As tension mounts and alliances are tested, the WWE Universe eagerly awaits the unfolding drama on the road to WrestleMania XL, where The Rock’s allegiance and ultimate intentions remain shrouded in uncertainty.
