Below are a couple of top WWE news stories of the day, involving The Rock and Roman Reigns.
• If you tuned in to SmackDown last night, you might have noticed a hint at something significant brewing between The Rock and Roman Reigns for WrestleMania 40.
The Rock officially aligned himself with The Bloodline, striking their signature pose to conclude the show. While there wasn’t explicit mention of The Rock’s role, it’s evident he’ll play a major part.
WWE’s promotional material suggests a potential team-up of Rock and Roman Reigns against Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins, likely on the first night of WrestleMania.
During his SmackDown promo, The Rock ominously stated, “The Rock is gonna do everything in his power to make sure that you walk out of WrestleMania a loser”, gesturing towards Roman Reigns. While Solo Sikoa and Paul Heyman noticed, Reigns and Jimmy Uso seemed oblivious, thinking that The Rock was talking about Cody.
