WrestleMania XL: 2 Reasons Why Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson Will Betray Roman Reigns Against Cody Rhodes

The most important match for this year’s WrestleMania XL is Roman Reigns vs Cody Rhodes for the WWE Universal Championship. While this would have been the main attraction, Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson‘s inclusion in The Bloodline made this a bit complicated. The main match for the title is still on, taking place on Night #2. However, on Night #1, we have a tag team match with Rhodes and Seth Rollins against Johnson and Reigns.

This has raised speculations that The Rock might turn on Reigns during this match or the one that follows. The reason for the speculation is the rushed storyline.

Two reasons why Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson will turn on Roman Reigns

The main reason why fans believe Johnson will turn on his cousin is his demeanor towards The Bloodline. Despite acknowledging Reigns as his Tribal Chief, Johnson was hesitant to do so at first. Apart from this, small details such as his finger gesture indicate he might not be on the level. While The Bloodline members raise #1, Johnson has been seen to raise ‘L.’ Moreover, Johnson has been calling himself the ‘Final Boss.’ While the title is cool and a bit plagiarized, this overshadows Reigns as The Tribal Chief. While Rhodes will face Johnson on #1, the final battle will be with Reigns on #2. The moniker of ‘Final Boss’ seems to have an underlying meaning to it.

But wait, didn’t The Rock beat Rhodes into a bloody mess on WWE RAW? How could he be helping Rhodes by doing so? Yes and no. While the beatdown could mean Rhodes and Johnson are not working together, it is clear that Johnson is not happy with Reigns as The Tribal Chief. It was only when Reigns asked Johnson to acknowledge him that he did so. Moreover, Johnson always came out by himself and never with The Bloodline. The first reason why Johnson would turn on Reigns is for control over The Bloodline.

If Johnson makes Reigns lose the title, his control over The Bloodline will also be lost. This allows The Rock to take over and could lead to a match between the cousins at WrestleMania XLI. This was the match fans were asking for, and this buildup for a year would be perfect. There is another possibility that Reigns turns on Johnson at Mania for stealing his spotlight. The tension between the two Samoans is palpable. The build-up is leading to an explosion on either side. What do you think will happen at Mania? Who will turn on whom? Tell us in the comments.
