WWE Superstar The Rock has ignited anticipation for his highly-anticipated return to Friday Night SmackDown this week, following his official alliance with The Bloodline.
In the wake of the controversial events at the WWE media event in Las Vegas, Dwayne Johnson embraced his heel persona, directing strong words toward fans and expressing disappointment over what he deemed as the squandering of a potentially monumental WrestleMania match.
The 51-year-old icon further asserted his determination to thwart Cody Rhodes’ championship aspirations at WrestleMania 40. Now aligned with Roman Reigns, Solo Sikoa, and Jimmy Uso in The Bloodline, The Great One emphasized that this is merely the beginning of their narrative.
Taking to Instagram to promote his return to SmackDown in Glendale, Arizona, The Rock emphasized the authenticity of the current era of pro wrestling:
“The irony here is the greatest periods in over 100 years of pro wrestling history – have been when it all starts to look and feel real. You can script violence all day, but you can’t script how intense a man feels about something he cares deeply for.
I don’t walk the line, but I’m known to cross it – with intention. Chapter 1. #peopleschamp @romanreigns #bloodline @wwe @tkogrp 🎥 @alexromo,” he wrote.
