In today’s wrestling landscape, going against Roman Reigns is akin to tempting fate, as he stands as the undisputed leader in WWE, commanding unparalleled authority and respect.
During a recent LA Lakers game versus the Minnesota Timberwolves, Reigns received a momentous acknowledgment late in the fourth quarter.
With the Lakers maintaining a ten-point lead, Reigns’ entrance theme reverberated through the Crypto.com Arena, coinciding with a pivotal bucket from none other than LeBron James.

Reacting to this unexpected crossover, Paul Heyman took to social media, showering praise on the LA Lakers for their show of respect towards their Tribal Chief:
“I applaud the #LosAngeles @Lakers for ACKNOWLEDGING THEIR TRIBAL CHIEF @WWERomanReigns,”
Heyman wrote in a tweet.
The dominance of The Bloodline, under Reigns’ reign, has been an unyielding force in WWE for the past three years. Now, with the addition of Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson to their ranks, their collective power seems insurmountable.
Despite The Rock’s unquestionable star power, extending far beyond the realms of professional wrestling, he appears content to defer to Reigns within the faction.
However, the anticipation builds as the two icons are set to team up at WrestleMania XL Night 1, facing off against formidable opponents Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins.
Peering into the future, wrestling journalist Bill Apter foresees a potential twist at WrestleMania, hinting at underlying tensions within The Bloodline:
“If The Rock and Roman Reigns win… The Rock is going to sc*ew Roman Reigns… I think that was the end of The Rock in the storyline really wanting to be aligned with Roman instead of against him.”
Despite these brewing conflicts, The Rock took a moment to celebrate The Bloodline’s achievements following a successful segment on SmackDown, highlighting their pivotal role in WWE’s milestone achievement of reaching 100 million YouTube subscribers.
