“Kind of Quick”: Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson’s Rumored Screwjob of Roman Reigns & Post WrestleMania Character Questioned Amidst SmackDown Clues

At WrestleMania 40s kickoff event, Dwayne Johnson and Roman Reigns take on Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins. A win for The Rock and Reigns means “Bloodline Rules” for Rhodes’ title match on night two; but if the babyface team wins, The Bloodline is banned from ringside.

Although The Brahma Bull had come back to fight Reigns in WWE, he ended up siding with his turning heel. However, there was plenty of gossip around about him potentially betraying his Tribal Chief. Now in a recent interview, a WWE legend commented on the prospect of The Rock remaining heel even after WrestleMania 40.

Could Dwayne Johnson turn face?

After slapping Cody Rhodes and turning heel, Dwayne Johnson has been the talk of the town. The WWE Universe has been going wild by different assumptions and speculations regarding the WrestleMania 40 event. Speculation has arisen about The Rock finishing his own story or helping Rhodes finish his, fans have been waiting for the 6th and 7th of April. Now Eric Bischoff has shared some insights. 

Now in a candid conversation with Conrad Thompson on 83 Weeks podcast, Eric Bischoff answers an intriguing question. Thompson had asked Bischoff his view on whether The Rock would remain heel after Mania. To which Bischoff did take a second to reply. 

“No, I’m so confused by… I mean, Rock is decidedly, you know, taking on the heel persona right now. But if we were to go fast forward through WrestleMania and what you see happening happens, is Rock back being a babyface again? That’s kind of quick, you think?” he stated.

Initially, a babyface in late 1996, The Rock quickly turned heel by mid-1997, winning the WWE Champion title at 26 in 1998. However, he later became a top babyface for years. He is called the Peoples Champ. But, after this stint will The Rock turn babyface or not, is worth watching. 

But the question is- why will he betray his cousin for Cody Rhodes?

Why The Rock could backstab his Tribal Chief?

The hottest speculation in wrestling circles revolves around Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson possibly turning on Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 40. With The Rock’s larger-than-life persona, it’s hard to envision him playing second fiddle, even if it’s for family.

Subtle hints suggest a potential betrayal during their highly anticipated match, while a whispered exchange between The Rock and Cody Rhodes plays up talks of the potential betrayal.

WWE’s potential alteration of plans, in response to fan demand for Rhodes, could be cleverly woven into the narrative, portraying The Rock and Rhodes as collaborators.

This narrative twist has the makings of a classic strategy: betray your enemy with the aid of a trusted ally. It will potentially enhance the storyline and compensate for any storyline shifts along the way.
