Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson embraced his darker side during the final moments of the latest episode of SmackDown, turning full heel for the first time in years. However, as the cameras stopped rolling and the show went off the air, fans in attendance were treated to a heartwarming sight. The Brahma Bull broke character, stepping out of his newly found heel persona.
In a wholesome moment captured after the show, The Rock, still in his on-screen heel persona, took the time to interact with fans in the front row. As he made his way along the barricade, his intimidating demeanor softened when he came face-to-face with a young fan. Despite staying in character, The Hollywood Superstar couldn’t resist the infectious joy of the moment, and with a warm smile, he fist-bumped the delighted child, briefly breaking his tough-guy persona.
The Rock began by praising Utah for its record-breaking turnout, acknowledging the energy of the crowd. However, true to his heel persona, he quickly shifted gears, delivering a provocative comment that labeled the audience as “trailer park trash.” The verbal assault didn’t stop there, as The Great One singled out a fan in the audience, referring to them as “fatty.”
The Rock took a jab at the #WeWantCody movement, mocking the fans as “crybabies.” He criticized Cody Rhodes’ story, questioning its logic, and compared him unfavorably to the San Francisco 49ers and the Utah Jazz, implying they handled defeat better.
The Hollywood actor dismissed The American Nightmare’s rematch claim as undeserving, highlighting his disdain for the wrestler’s aspirations. Interestingly, The Rock avoided mentioning Cody’s Royal Rumble win, further diminishing his credibility.
What’s next for The Rock and The Bloodline?
Following his intense promo on SmackDown, it appears that The Rock is fully aligned with Roman Reigns and The Bloodline. The Hollywood actor’s words suggested unwavering support for Reigns, hinting at his willingness to assist Reigns in retaining his title and defeating Cody Rhodes.
This potential alliance could have significant implications for the wrestling world, as The Brahma Bull’s involvement could tip the scales in Reigns’ favor and further solidify The Bloodline’s dominance in the ring. During the promo segment on SmackDown, The Rock’s actions raised suspicion among viewers and fellow wrestlers.
Despite appearing to support Roman Reigns and The Bloodline, some fans noted subtle hints that suggested a different agenda. WWE Hall of Famer Bubba Ray Dudley also voiced his skepticism, pointing out that Rocky’s failure to acknowledge Reigns as The Tribal Chief in a respectful manner was suspicious.
With The Rock’s subtle hints and the underlying tensions, it appears that the road to WrestleMania for The Bloodline is far from straightforward. The Rock’s involvement adds a layer of complexity to the storyline, suggesting potential twists and turns that could shape the upcoming events.
