Cody Rhodes’ journey to WrestleMania XL is the driving force this year. But the mainstay for WrestleMania XL is once again Roman Reigns, who stands at the top of the mountain. Aiding him this year is his cousin, The Rock. After turning on Cody Rhodes and the fans, The Rock has once again made pro-wrestling more entertaining than ever. However, a WWE legend feels that there are more possibilities to unlock with The Rock’s presence while also predicting a heat between Reigns and Johnson.

Eric Bischoff feels a tension between Roman Reigns and The Rock

WWE legend Eric Bischoff released the recent episode of his 83 Weeks podcast titled It is DIFFERENT for THE ROCK with his host Conrad Thompson. Although the two discussed a lot of happenings in the wrestling world, they focused on The Rock’s promo on SmackDown featuring Roman Reigns and The Bloodline. As an expert in wrestling bookings, Eric Bischoff could see the potential storylines WWE could have going forward.

Bischoff predicts Roman Reigns to turn on The Rock and explains the reason behind the same. He said, “If you go back and watch that promo, perhaps, you noticed the same thing I did. Maybe everybody did and I’m just kidding myself thinking that maybe I saw something unique. But from early on in that promo just looking at facial expressions or lack thereof. They’re building heat between Roman and Rock.”

Bischoff was referencing the long promo on SmackDown where The Rock challenged Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins for a tag match on Night 1 of WrestleMania XL. He also promised a no-interference Night 2 main event to Cody Rhodes, if he wins. The segment also featured Roman Reigns asking The Rock to acknowledge him as The Tribal Chief, which The Rock acknowledged. But this was the moment of tension between the two.

He further explained the reason why Roman Reigns would betray his cousin, especially after the mafia hug between them. Bischoff explained, “Roman doesn’t like being overshot, and now it was so obvious in that promo, a storyline perspective, acknowledge me… and the hug after that’s like a mafia hug. Oh, I’m gonna hug you right before I kill you because that’s how that works.” Although, The Rock has subtly denied the rumours of him betraying Roman Reigns, but no body has suspected Reigns till now.  Well, WWE fans have been expecting a dream match between two generational superstars of the same family. So, Bischoff’s predictions are not too far away.

Between Roman Reigns and The Rock, who will betray the other person first?
