Ever since The Rock made his triumphant return to the Stamford-based promotion, fans have been buzzing with excitement.
His recent appearance on WWE SmackDown, complete with his iconic Hollywood theme and electrifying concert, has kept the WWE Universe abuzz with talk about The People’s Champion.
Adding to the anticipation, The Great One is set to make waves at this year’s WrestleMania, teaming up with Roman Reigns to take on Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins in a tag team showdown with significant implications for the main event the following night.

The Rock kicked off his current stint in the company on January 8, 2024, during an electrifying episode of Monday Night RAW. There, he made his presence felt by confronting Jinder Mahal and delivering his trademark moves.
The anticipation soared when he hinted at a potential challenge to Roman Reigns, hinting at sitting at the ‘Head of the Table.’
On January 23, 2024, the excitement reached new heights as the Stamford-based promotion announced The Rock’s entry into TKO Group Holdings as a member of the Board of Directors.
Following this, Cody Rhodes emerged victorious in the Men’s Royal Rumble Match and made his intentions clear to confront Roman Reigns on the February 2, 2024, episode of WWE SmackDown.
However, a surprising twist occurred when Rhodes initially announced his withdrawal from WrestleMania 40, only to change his mind during the WrestleMania XL Kickoff press event, setting the stage for a dramatic showdown.
The tension escalated as The Rock stood beside Roman Reigns after Rhodes appeared to disrespect the Samoan faction, culminating in an intense face-off between the megastars.

Although the Stamford-based promotion has not advertised The Rock for the upcoming episode, a highly anticipated segment featuring The Tribal Chief and The American Nightmare promises to deliver thrilling action and intense drama.
It remains to be seen how the Night Two headliners will navigate the unfolding drama in the ring next week.
