1. The Rock’s interference: WWE has subtly announced a dream match for WrestleMania Night 2 as Roman Reigns is set to take on the biggest superstar from the Tribe. The Rock has yet to make any appearance since RAW’s special show: Day 1.
We know how Roman Reigns has been receiving support from his Bloodline members, Solo Sikoa & Jimmy Uso leading to his successful title defenses. So, how will The Rock impact Reigns’ match at Royal Rumble? The Rock may interfere in the Fatal 4-way match which may lead to Reigns finally losing his title. Frustrated by The Rock’s interference, the storyline may lead to a big match at WrestleMania. Speculations are that Randy Orton might be the beneficiary of the chaos if Reigns loses.
2. Jimmy Uso’s betrayal: Jimmy Uso returned to The Bloodline seeking asylum, but will he remain faithful to Roman Reigns? Well, Jimmy Uso isn’t the most favoured member of the team due to his history of defiance. Additionally, every time Reigns has assigned him any task, Jimmy has failed. This has lead to poor treatment at the hands of Roman Reigns, so will Jimmy turn against Reigns when the time comes?
