The return of The Rock and his surprising alliance with The Bloodline has sent shockwaves through the SmackDown roster, prompting speculation that WWE may be steering back towards its illustrious Attitude Era days, according to a WWE Hall of Famer.
Roman Reigns, leading The Bloodline, has dominated WWE, and when The Brahma Bull made his return to confront The Tribal Chief, it set the stage for a seismic shift. Instead of clashing, they joined forces against Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins.
Booker T, in a recent episode of his Hall of Fame podcast, reminisced about the glory days of the Attitude Era, proclaiming it as the pinnacle of wrestling history.
He noted the current storyline involving Roman Reigns and The Rock’s return seems to be channeling that era.
“To me though, the Attitude Era was the best era I think in wrestling of all time. But I do think the WWE right now is trying to get back to that just a little bit, of course with The Bloodline storyline, and of course now with The Rock coming back,”
Booker T said.
As WrestleMania 40 approaches, fans are eagerly anticipating the showdown where The Tribal Chief and The Great One will unite to take on Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins in a tag team match.
Adding to the excitement, Roman, Cody, and Seth are slated for double duty at The Show of Shows this year.
While the blockbuster tag team match promises to be a highlight, there’s speculation brewing about The Rock’s future appearances.
Rumors suggest he could grace a WWE premium live event in Saudi Arabia, potentially setting the stage for another showdown if he turns against Roman Reigns.
Reports from the Wrestling Observer Newsletter indicate WWE’s keenness to feature The Brahma Bull at the upcoming Saudi Arabia PPV.
While nothing is confirmed yet, there’s a strong desire within the company to see The Rock in action beyond WrestleMania, possibly at the premium event in Saudi Arabia.
This strategic move could pave the way for a compelling storyline between The Great One and The Tribal Chief, allowing WWE to craft a captivating build-up and deliver another memorable showdown in the ring.
