The Rock made a surprising appearance on WWE SmackDown, aligning himself with The Bloodline in what many fans see as a significant move foreshadowing WrestleMania 40.
In the closing moments of the latest episode of SmackDown, Roman Reigns, accompanied by The Bloodline, introduced The Rock to the audience.
However, instead of a warm welcome, The Great One chose to insult the fans, solidifying his heel status and aligning himself with The Bloodline. This segment served as a top-notch promotion for WrestleMania 40, building anticipation for the event.
One particular moment from the segment caught the attention of fans: The Rock’s gesture of raising an “L” sign. This small action sparked speculation and discussion among fans about its significance and what it could imply for the outcome of WrestleMania 40.
