Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson joined The Bloodline last week on SmackDown. On the latest edition of the show, Roman Reigns was clearly not in a good mood when he kicked off the night. Moments later, his cousin came out to bash the live audience and address his rivals, Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins. Before he could give his usual closing regards, Reigns stopped him and asked The Brahma Bull to acknowledge him.
The arena came unglued for a while with loud chants of “holy sh*t.” As a result, The Rock informed Reigns that he was family and proceeded to acknowledge him as his Tribal Chief. The pair shook hands and hugged before the faction’s members raised their fingers to close the segment. Without a doubt, it was an intense moment when the Undisputed Champion abruptly interrupted The Great One. Moreover, many didn’t expect Rocky to call Reigns The Tribal Chief of their family.
Other than this, The Rock laid down a challenge to Rhodes and Rollins. The Bloodline duo challenged them to a tag team match at WrestleMania Night 1. In addition to that, The People’s Champion revealed the stipulation for it, which has vital implications for the Roman vs. Cody bout on Night 2.
The segment went over 40 minutes, most likely going over the allotted time. However, fans online enjoyed The Rock’s promo and buildup to the Showcase of Immortals. Now, The Great One is scheduled to appear on the upcoming episodes of SmackDown, where both Rhodes and Rollins are also advertised for the next week’s edition.
The Rock dropped a vicious 20-minute promo before SmackDown
Prior to last night’s episode of SmackDown, The Rock uploaded a video on his social media accounts. In the clip, The Brahma Bull cut a promo on Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins, calling them both out. For 20 minutes, Rocky explained how he was the biggest star in WWE and why he deserved to headline WrestleMania against Roman Reigns.
First, he revealed that Cody was on the same page with him before WrestleMania Kickoff. However, The American Nightmare ruined his plans when he interrupted him and challenged Reigns. Moreover, he insulted The Rock and Roman’s family, which is what led to Rock slapping him at the show.
The People’s Champion also called out Rollins, explicitly insulting his “clown” fashion sense. All in all, it was a brutal promo by The Rock, who is seemingly enjoying his current run in WWE. Therefore, fans are waiting to see how his future plays out from here on.
