The latest installment of WWE SmackDown delivered an electrifying segment featuring The Rock and The Bloodline, setting the stage for a monumental showdown.
Opening the show, Roman Reigns, accompanied by his formidable Samoan faction, set the tone for the night. Shortly after, Paul Heyman introduced The People’s Champion, igniting the crowd with anticipation.
In a dramatic turn of events, The Great One addressed Cody Rhodes’ challenge for a singles match, opting to decline.
Instead, he proposed a blockbuster offer: a tag team bout at WrestleMania 40’s Night 1, pitting Roman Reigns and The Rock against Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins.
Raising the stakes to unprecedented heights, The People’s Champion revealed that if Cody and Seth were to lose, their Night 2 clash at WrestleMania would escalate into a ‘Bloodline Rules’ match.
This revelation left fans buzzing with intrigue about the unique stipulations of this match devised by the Samoan faction.
According to The Hollywood star, a ‘Bloodline Rules’ match would allow for anything goes, even permitting him to provide ringside commentary, armed with a chair alongside Pat McAfee.
To further tilt the odds in The Tribal Chief’s favor, Jimmy Uso might serve as a special guest referee, ensuring an unfair advantage in the title defense.
Speculation arose about potential interventions by Paul Heyman, utilizing foreign objects such as trash cans or ladders to aid The Bloodline Leader.
Light-hearted banter ensued as The Rock humorously suggested that Solo Sikoa might serenade the national anthem, emphasizing the faction’s dominance in the match.

Adding a final twist, The Most Electrifying Man hinted at his possible interference in Reigns vs. Cody, brandishing the chair he occupied at ringside, highlighting its legality in the ‘Bloodline Rules’ match.
The forthcoming week promises anticipation as Dusty’s son prepares to respond to the challenge, leaving fans on the edge of their seats, eager to witness the spectacle of a ‘Bloodline Rules’ match at WrestleMania 40.
In a poignant moment, The Rock concluded the segment by acknowledging Roman Reigns, underscoring their familial bond. While initially taken aback, The Brahma Bull ultimately paid homage to The Head of the Table, citing their shared heritage.
While this gesture surprised many, speculation persists about The Rock’s intentions at WrestleMania 40, keeping fans guessing about potential twists in their dynamic.
