SUMMARY
- Dwayne Johnson took the WWE universe by storm by officially reverting back to his Hollywood Rock persona.
- As The People's Champion turned heel for the first time in over two decades, it has turned into a hot topic of discussion among fans.
Dwayne Johnson is no longer the good guy in WWE, as The People’s Champion has officially joined The Bloodline. This happened days after The Rock was removed from his scheduled match against Roman Reigns because Cody Rhodes decided to challenge The Tribal Chief at WrestleMania 40.
In fact, just minutes after Rhodes made this announcement, Dwayne made his intentions clear by slapping The American Nightmare in the face. This incident generated a lot of heat against the veteran pro wrestling figure. But on the February 16 episode of SmackDown, he officially turned his back on fans by ripping them apart for supporting Cody.
Reverting back to his Hollywood Rock days, the Hollywood actor took out all his frustration in a spectacular promo on Friday, that has put the world on notice. However, alongside his comments about the 2024 Royal Rumble winner, another thing that has been in the limelight is a hand gesture he did on the weekly show.

It happened when Johnson was talking about the outcome of Roman’s highly-anticipated match against Cody. As he was doing so, he said, “The Rock is gonna do everything in his power to make sure that you walk out of WrestleMania a loser,” which fans felt was about Rhodes. But at that time, The People’s Champion was pointing at Roman Reigns, and it has left fans wondering if he’s going to betray his cousins at The Show of Shows.
Fans believe The Rock’s gesture is a sign of the future of this storyline
As the WWE universe caught a hint of a betrayal by Dwayne, they believe that it’s a sign of the future of this storyline. Sharing how this is going to end up being a disappointment for The Tribal Chief, an audience member wrote, “His definitely gonna rock bottom Roman.” (Via: X)
Claiming that the Hollywood star is not even a member of the heel faction, a pro wrestling enthusiast said, “He ain’t part of the Bloodline.” “He’s gonna cost Roman to lose the title,” another fan of the Triple H-led promotion said while predicting that The Rock’s going to help Rhodes in the main event of this year’s WrestleMania.
Will Dwayne Johnson cost Roman Reigns his title at WrestleMania 40?
Dwayne Johnson mentioned The American Nightmare’s name before he said he’d make sure to make sure the in-ring star loses at WrestleMania 40. But the reason why fans believe he’s going to cost Roman is because, when he was about to say the exact thing, he immediately pointed his finger at Reigns.
It’s mainly because of this that fans are quite certain that The Rock is going to cost Roman the Undisputed Universal title at The Show of Shows. In fact, it makes a lot of sense, as the star himself hinted at a match with Reigns during his return on Day 1 RAW. If the storyline is really going to be this way, the promotion has the opportunity to make it one of the best family feuds in recent memory.

Moreover, it’ll also probably mean that Cody will get to finish his story at WrestleMania 2024, which is what fans have been demanding for a long time. Looking at these aspects, it seems that The Rock betraying The Bloodline could be a great move. But will it really happen? We’ll probably find out soon.
