In the latest episode of WWE SmackDown, The Rock made a dramatic shift, fully embracing his villainous persona by officially aligning himself with The Bloodline and Roman Reigns.
His rhetoric didn’t spare Cody Rhodes and his supporters, attributing them as key contributors to the disruption of the anticipated Roman Reigns vs. The Rock WrestleMania showdown.
However, recent developments within the WWE universe have left fans speculating about The Rock’s true motives. Despite his apparent integration into The Bloodline, a short clip uploaded on WWE’s official YouTube channel titled “The Rock is officially apart of the Bloodline” raised eyebrows.
The wording, suggesting The Rock’s separation from the faction rather than inclusion, fueled theories of potential betrayal. The use of “apart” instead of “a part” sparked intrigue, hinting at a potential fracture within The Bloodline.
This subtle linguistic choice by WWE appears intentional, hinting at possible future storylines involving The Rock and The Bloodline’s dissolution. As WrestleMania 40 approaches, the unfolding drama promises captivating twists and turns on The Road to WrestleMania.
WWE uploaded a clip on their YT Channel titled – The Rock is officially 'apart' of the Bloodline.
The word 'apart' means into pieces/not together. If it's 'a part' then it means he has officially joined.
