In the latest episode of WWE SmackDown, The Rock made a grand entrance onto the Road to WrestleMania 40 by acknowledging Roman Reigns.
The Great One, true to his charismatic style, embarked on a lengthy promo, firing shots at Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins while simultaneously extending a challenge for a tag team match on Night One of WrestleMania 40.
Following The Bloodline’s powerful segment, Paul Heyman, known as the #Wiseman to the #Bloodline, took to social media to express his gratitude.

In an Instagram comment, Heyman thanked the fans for their overwhelming support at the record-smashing and completely sold-out Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale, Arizona.
He specifically acknowledged Roman Reigns as his #TribalChief and The Rock as #PeoplesChamp, emphasizing the unity within The Bloodline.
However, the episode faced an unexpected hiccup when WWE had to abruptly cut the live feed due to signs held up by members of the WWE Universe.
Dutch Mantell, sharing his thoughts on Sportskeeda Wrestling’s Smack Talk, praised The Rock for delivering classic one-liners, such as the clever jab at “crackhead Karens.”
Despite his admiration for The People’s Champion, Mantell expressed dissatisfaction with the production, highlighting interruptions in the live feed during the segment.
While the highly anticipated tag team match featuring The Rock and Roman Reigns against Seth Rollins and Cody Rhodes is yet to be officially confirmed for Night One of WrestleMania 40, one certainty is Roman Reigns defending the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship against Cody Rhodes on Night Two.
As the intricate storyline continues to unfold, fans are left eagerly contemplating the evolving dynamics within The Bloodline’s narrative and anticipating the potential twists and turns leading up to the grand spectacle of WrestleMania 40.
