Back in January of this year, when Dwayne Johnson made his return to the WWE and challenged to become The Head of the Table, fans were not expecting this storyline. It was only due to the Backlash of Rhodes handing over his spot at WrestleMania that the WWE decided to turn Johnson heel.

While in the ring, Reigns announced that his cousin, The Rock, was now part of The Bloodline. Reigns said, “The Rock is a member of The Bloodline.” Fans suspected this before the show started but didn’t think it would come true. Johnson came out in his new heel look, which mirrored his original heel run in the WWE.

Before closing his speech, which involved insulting the crowd on multiple occasions, he even twerked his catchphrase. The Rock ended with, “If you can smell what The Bloodline is cooking.” This confirms The Rock is okay with his spot in The Bloodline. Moving forward, it is going to be interesting to see how The Rock is going to help The Bloodline be the #1 on SmackDow. Till now, Reigns has had to do it all by himself or hope that Jimmy Uso and Solo Sikoa will do it for him.

The power dynamic between Dwayne Johnson and Roman Reigns

While everyone is happy and excited about Johnson joining The Bloodline, the question still remains: will he accept Reigns as The Tribal Chief? This is something that has been bugging the WWE fans. Not only is The Rock older and in a better position of power, but he is also a veteran of the WWE.
