The Rock made a grand entrance on the latest WWE SmackDown episode, setting the stage for WrestleMania 40 with some clear directives.
He issued a challenge to Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins, proposing a tag team showdown against himself and Roman Reigns, complete with specific stipulations for both victory and defeat. Regarding the clash between The Brahma Bull and The Visionary, this isn’t their first encounter.
A notable past incident involved The Shield attacking The Great One, resulting in Roman Reigns displaying concern while Seth Rollins remained indifferent, maintaining his character’s persona.
However, the current challenge isn’t rooted in past animosity. There’s no real-life tension fueling this matchup, and The People’s Champ is simply leaning into his heel persona, weaving a compelling storyline.
While there may be lingering undertones from their previous altercation, it’s unrelated to Rock’s challenge or any references to Rollins as the “clown emoji.”
