The anticipation is high as The Rock and Roman Reigns are scheduled to reunite in the WWE SmackDown ring for the first time since their appearance on the February 16, 2024, episode.
While fans expect them to address their adversaries, potential interruptions could set the stage for what’s to come at WrestleMania.
Last month, The Bloodline gained a significant addition with the inclusion of The Rock. After issuing warnings to Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins on social media, the opportunity for a face-to-face encounter arises tonight on WWE SmackDown.
There’s a buzz around what Dwayne Johnson and Roman Reigns might unveil, possibly showcasing their collaborative efforts.
In anticipation of potential threats from their rivals, The Great One and The Tribal Chief might unveil a new tag team move they’ve been refining—a fusion of The People’s Elbow and Spear. While this prospect excites fans, its execution is not guaranteed.

It’s improbable that the WWE would portray Cody as someone easily defeated by The Bloodline before their WrestleMania clash, unless they intend to evoke sympathy for the challenger. Yet, it wouldn’t serve his character well.
Instead, a heated confrontation is likely, potentially escalating to physicality. However, it’s improbable that Johnson and Reigns would execute their finishers during this encounter.
As for The Rock’s WrestleMania plans, while Roman Reigns has a secured spot in a main event, his cousin’s participation is uncertain.
Initially slated for a showdown with Reigns, Cody’s challenge altered the course. Nevertheless, it’s unlikely that Johnson will be absent from the event entirely.

WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray speculates that The Rock and Roman will team up against Cody and Seth on the first night of WrestleMania 40, given the imagery from the WrestleMania 40 commercial featuring the four superstars facing off.
Roman Reigns has teased fans ahead of tonight’s WWE SmackDown, urging them not to miss The Bloodline’s return. His inclusion in promotional graphics, captioned “Greatness is Coming,” only adds to the anticipation.
The WWE SmackDown episode promises to be riveting with The Bloodline’s return, leaving fans eager to witness the unfolding drama.
