The WWE Universe hadn’t expected to see what happened on WWE Raw Day 1 yesterday. People had been hoping to see Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson at Royal Rumble 2024 or WrestleMania 40. But the pro-wrestler-turned-Hollywood actor surprised his fans with an early appearance.

With Johnson’s return, Cody Rhodes‘ future looms in the dark now. It looks like the potential match between Rhodes and Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 40 will never see the light of the day, as Johnson could replace ‘The American Nightmare.’ Let’s see what the fans had to say about it.

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson hints at locking horns with Roman Reigns

‘The Great One’ made his comeback, interrupting a returning former WWE Champion, Jinder Mahal, who was addressing the crowd. A frustrated Mahal attacked Johnson, only to get whipped up by the WWE legend. Johnson then picked up the mic and took a dig at his cousin.

Using a clever ‘eating out’ reference, Johnson subtly hinted at dethroning Reigns and destroying his kingdom. He said, “Should The Rock sit at the Head of the Table!?” Reigns is called the Head of the Table, which means ‘The Brahma Bull’ is eyeing his spot in The Bloodline.

With Johnson entering the picture, ‘The American Nightmare’ may have to wait a little longer to complete his story, as the Hollywood actor could replace him as Reigns’ opponent for Mania 40 this year. The WWE Universe conveyed their mixed reactions on X as the likelihood of Johnson potentially replacing Rhodes at WrestleMania against Reigns appears to be materializing.

Fans divided over the prospect of The Rock vs Roman Reigns in lieu of Cody Rhodes

Ever since Cody Rhodes returned to WWE last year in January, he has been on a constant rise in popularity.

But Johnson’s return seems to have split the fans.
