It appears that Roman Reigns may indeed square off against The Rock at WrestleMania 40, as hinted on the latest episode of SmackDown. While WWE’s suggestion of this potential matchup has garnered mixed reactions, the likelihood of the promotion moving forward with it seems high.
Should Reigns find himself facing The Rock, he’ll have much to contend with. Not only will The Tribal Chief’s championship be at stake, but the future of The Bloodline could also hang in the balance in a feud against The Rock.
The entrance of a 58-year-old former WWE Superstar to aid The Brahma Bull in dismantling The Bloodline could add a new dimension to the conflict. That former superstar who might reemerge is Rikishi.
If the match between Reigns and The Rock is confirmed for WrestleMania 40, fans might witness Rikishi’s comeback and his rebellion against The Bloodline.
He could potentially sway Jimmy Uso and Solo Sikoa away from the heel faction, leaving Reigns with only Paul Heyman by his side. This move could echo Rikishi’s infamous claim, “I did it for The Rock.”
While this scenario remains speculative, its realization would evoke nostalgia for many in the WWE Universe. As the storyline involving Reigns unfolds in the coming weeks on SmackDown, it will be intriguing to see how it develops.
