In tonight’s episode of WWE SmackDown, anticipation is high as Roman Reigns is set to return following the announcement of his WrestleMania 40 main event against Cody Rhodes.
Adding to the excitement, The Rock will also be joining the Tribal Chief on the show, especially notable after The Great One’s recent heel turn.
Speculation is swirling that Reigns may revive his former alliance with The Judgment Day to confront Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins on Friday Nights.
Last year, in September and October, The Judgment Day and The Bloodline were intertwined in storylines, often assisting each other in matches. Notably, Jimmy Uso played a pivotal role in Finn Balor and Damian Priest’s victory over Jey Uso and Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed Tag Team titles.
Despite signs of a possible alliance between Rhea Ripley and Paul Heyman, WWE stopped booking both factions together, leading fans to overlook their previous collaboration.

It’s conceivable that Reigns and Heyman may rekindle their alliance with The RAW faction to launch an assault on Rhodes and Rollins. Given The Judgment Day’s history of rivalry with both superstars, this scenario seems increasingly plausible.
Ahead of tonight’s SmackDown, Roman Reigns sent a bold message, hinting at significant changes. The Tribal Chief took to Twitter to share his arrival graphics alongside The Rock, teasing a dramatic shift in the blue brand’s landscape.
The last time Reigns and The Rock were seen together was during the WrestleMania Kickoff press event, where Reigns announced The People’s Champion as his WrestleMania opponent.
Tensions escalated when Cody Rhodes intervened, responding to Reigns’ comments about Dusty Rhodes, leading to an altercation that saw The Rock slap The American Nightmare.
As anticipation mounts for their return to SmackDown, fans are eager to see how the Samoan stars will navigate the aftermath of this contentious segment.
