The Rock returned to the WWE with the sole purpose of facing Roman Reigns at WrestleMania XL. Moreover, he became a member of the board of directors of TKO Group Holdings. Since Rock could not get the highly-anticipated match with his cousin, he turned heel and sided with him joining The Bloodline. Rocky recently took to Instagram to hype the WWE Universe for his next appearance on SmackDown.

In the video package, The Brahma Bull is seen rocking his in-ring gear and doing his iconic one-hand raised pose. He could be seen taking shots at the WWE Universe for being forced to turn heel. SmackDown is happening in Glendale, Arizona this week and it is sold out. It appears The Rock is a big draw since the show has been sold out hours after Rock’s appearance was announced.

When The Great One made his first appearance on SmackDown being a heel, he was seen fat-shaming a WWE Universe member. Moreover, the 51-year-old Superstar received backlash for his words. Despite getting heat from the WWE Universe, Rock wrote “Get off your fat a**es” in the promotional video post.

Since Rock turned heel and joined his family faction, Road to WrestleMania has gotten more interesting. Especially, considering the rematch between Reigns and Cody Rhodes, their buildup has been enhanced. It will be interesting to see what the Hollywood actor has in mind to tell his cousin’s arch-rival. Moreover, Rocky is slated to be at all episodes of SmackDown en route to WrestleMania XL.

In a recent episode of Six Feet Under with Mark Calaway on YouTube, The Phenom shared his early doubts about the 8-time WWE Champion. He disclosed about his early days when Rocky Maivia was trying his best to be a babyface. The Deadman thought only because of his legacy, (coming from the Anoa’i Family) he would stay but not for long.

The Lord of Darkness added how Rocky would continuously seek advice from veterans which many new talents refrain from. Ultimately, Rocky Maivia became The Rock and became a sensational heel. The rest is history with The Most Electrifying Man in Sports Entertainment gearing up for his 15th WrestleMania appearance potentially tagging with Roman Reigns to take on Cody Rhodes and Seth “Freakin” Rollins.
