A recent Roman Reigns promo caught The Rock off guard, as revealed by The Great One himself.
The Rock shared a mini-documentary on his Twitter and Instagram, reflecting on the ongoing feud between The Bloodline and Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins. He recalled Roman Reigns instructing him to acknowledge his dominance.
During a recent WWE SmackDown, Reigns interrupted The Rock just as he was about to deliver his iconic catchphrase.

Reigns demanded acknowledgment from The Great One, leading to a tense standoff where The Rock eventually complied.
In the second part of his mini-doc, The Rock opened up about the unexpected moment, hinting that Reigns deviated from the script, surprising him with the demand.
“Something happened out there that The Rock didn’t expect. They thought it was a part of the storyline, well, you know that’s not how The Rock operates. It wasn’t no storyline. The Rock saw something in Joe Anoa’i’s eyes that The Rock had never seen before, and in that moment, as Joe, who is my family, my cousin, my Uso, which means brother in Samoan, Aiga, if he needs me to acknowledge him, I’m gonna acknowledge him.” [H/T – RSN]
Reigns is set for double duty at WrestleMania XL, teaming up with The Rock in a tag team match against Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins on Night One.
Additionally, Reigns will defend his Undisputed WWE Universal Title against Rhodes in a singles match on Night Two.
Rhodes has another opportunity to conclude their storyline, and fans await eagerly to see if he can dethrone Reigns at the grand event.
