In a recent revelation, WWE Hall of Famer Booker T delved into the anticipated showdown between his former rival, The Rock, and Roman Reigns as they team up to take on Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins at WrestleMania 40.
Reflecting on his own history with The Great One during the 2000s, Booker T reminisced about their epic clashes, notably The Rock’s triumph over him to seize the WCW World Heavyweight Championship at SummerSlam 2001.
Following his recent heel turn on SmackDown, The Brahma Bull officially joined forces with The Bloodline, aligning himself with Reigns and acknowledging him as his Tribal Chief.
The challenge was laid out by The Bloodline to Rhodes and Rollins for a tag team encounter at WrestleMania’s Night 1, a proposition that the two RAW Superstars swiftly accepted.
Booker T, seizing the opportunity to offer his perspective on the monumental match-up, voiced his excitement during the latest episode of his Hall of Fame podcast. He anticipated an electrifying showdown, predicting that fans would be left in awe by the spectacle:
“It’s gonna be fire. It’s like I said, Just sit back and watch and see how things play out. I think everybody at the end of the day is gonna be like, ‘Man, it was awesome.’ And the thing is, we got so many ways we could play this thing now. I mean, there’s so many little nuggets we could play with as far as creating this story.” [H/T: 411mania.com]
The Rock, meanwhile, hinted at a potential twist in the tale ahead of his appearance on WWE SmackDown at the FedExForum arena in Memphis, Tennessee.
After being slapped by Cody Rhodes in the previous week’s show, The Great One refrained from retaliation, departing alongside The Bloodline.
As anticipation builds for this week’s SmackDown, The Rock’s enigmatic message suggests a deviation from his earlier acknowledgment of Roman Reigns as The Tribal Chief on the March 1 episode.
With speculation rife, all eyes are on The Brahma Bull to address the incident with The American Nightmare as WrestleMania 40 draws near.
