2024 will go down in WWE history as the year of Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson. Returning at the start as a babyface and pivoting to the biggest heel in the company in a month is no easy feat. Not only did the WWE Universe get a taste of the 2000s’ heel Rock taking on Cody Rhodes but The Final Boss proved he has more left in the tank. However, despite the heel turn Johnson has broken character multiple times.

While keeping his habit of breaking character for promotional content aside, one unseen photo from WrestleMania XL has been melting hearts across social media.

WrestleMania XL Night #1’s main event saw The Rock and Roman Reigns face Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins. Not only would this match determine the stipulation for the following night’s main event, but it would also be the first time Johnson would wrestle in almost a decade. While fans were excited for the match, there were questions on how good it would turn out. Needless to say, The Brahma Bull was able to help his cousin win ensuring the following night would feature Bloodline Rules as the stipulation. Heading backstage, Reigns had The Bloodline to comfort him after the long and weary match. However, The Rock had his daughter. An unseen photo released by FightfulWrestling on social media showcased the heartwarming moment.

Despite being the hottest heel, the Hollywood star is also a father. Taken backstage, Ava Raine looks so happy while embracing her father. Raine is currently the  General Manager of NXT and the youngest one to do so.

Despite losing the title at WrestleMania XL, Johnson did promise he would return and come after the title. While Reigns takes some time off, The Bloodline is still active and may be under new command.

Is The Rock the new Tribal Chief?

On the first RAW after Mania, The Rock announced his departure from the WWE for a short while but laid out his plans when he returned. This past SmackDown saw Jimmy Uso being punished and removed from The Bloodline as Tama Tonga debuted. Solo Sikoa is currently in charge but who gives the orders? The Bloodline members showed signs of dissent toward Roman Reigns as he swatted away Paul Heyman’s requests.

Many fans speculated that The Rock is the Tribal Chief now since Reigns lost to Rhodes. Johnson did pin the Royal Rumble winner on Night #1 and also reminded everyone about it on RAW. If speculation and Sikoa’s actions are to be believed, The Bloodline has a new Tribal Chief. This could be part of the plan to bring in fresh blood into The Bloodline and revive their dominance on the blue brand of WWE. What do you think and how did you like the unseen photo?
