Also, there is huge speculation of The Rock returning on SmackDown next week.The rumor mills have been going strong about the reasons for The Rock’s return to the blue brand. What is The Final Boss going to do on SmackDown? Let’s explore some possible actions The Rock might take on the show.
Here are 5 things that The Rock would be looking forward to do on SmackDown
1. Pay homage to Sika
He might Pay tribute to WWE Hall of Famer and Roman Reigns’s father Sika Anoa’i who unfortunately passed away on Tuesday at the age of 79. Since The Rock belongs to the same family tree as that of Sika ANoa’i and both the Samoans and Anoa’i’s are very closely knit and are family friends, The Rock might want to pay tribute to the late legend.
2. Reignite his rivalry with Cody Rhodes
The Rock might not be done with Cody Rhodes as he wasn’t able to make Roman Reigns defend his WWE Universal title at WrestleMania and was humiliated massively. He is not the one to easily forget his insults. The Rock might just be on the lookout for Cody again and could possibly challenge Cody for a championship bout.
3. Join the new Bloodline
Being very fond of all the Samoans and Anoa’i’s , The Rock might very well be tilted towards joining, or maybe even heading the new Bloodline. On the blue brand, the rock might want to strengthen the new Bloodline, especially considering his liking for Solo Sikoa, and could even look forward to becoming the new leader of this faction.
4. Call out and mock Roman Reigns
Since his loss at Wrestlemania against Cody Rhodes and losing the undisputed WWE title, Roman Reigns has not been seen on WWE television. Also, the rock has yet to address or comment on how he felt about that loss. Looking back at the history of The Brahma Bull, he might very well be having grudges for Roman Reigns and could blame Roman for the loss at the grandest stage of WWE. Calling Roman Reigns out or insulting him might also be an indication of his association with the new Bloodline.
5. Disapprove Solo
Knowing the people’s champ’s nature, a face turn is never too far and can not be written off. He could also disapprove Solo Sikoa as the new Tribal Chief since there is a lot for Sikoa to achieve in WWE, and while doing so, the Bloodline could attack the 10-time WWE champion. Although Roman Reigns’s return is not known to anyone yet, including Paul Heyman, The Rock might look to defend the head of the tables’s position in his absence.
