During the February 16, 2024, episode of SmackDown, Roman Reigns made a significant announcement, declaring The Rock as a member of The Bloodline, eliciting varied reactions from the audience. While some spectators booed, others eagerly anticipated seeing them make their entrance together in the future.
In the subsequent episode of SmackDown, viewers expected to witness The Rock and Reigns make their entrance as part of The Bloodline. However, this did not unfold as anticipated. Reigns made his way to the ring first, and following a commercial break, The Rock made his entrance.
This departure from the expected entrance raised questions about why The Rock did not join The Bloodline during their entrance. One plausible explanation could be The Great One’s desire to maintain his identity as a top superstar within WWE, despite being part of the heel faction.
This inclination toward maintaining his solo superstar status is further evidenced by The People’s Champion having separate communication channels with Paul Heyman. As Reigns was preparing to exit the ring, Heyman intervened, indicating that The Rock had an announcement to make.
