“Didn’t Show Up”: Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson & Stone Cold’s Booking at WrestleMania 40 Targeted With ‘No Advantage’ Jibe

The WrestleMania XL main event was a sight to behold for various fans, thanks to the Bloodline Rules match that Dwayne Johnson promised. While some viewers expressed their delight at the nostalgia-invoking appearances that materialized, Kevin Nash believes that it was an unnecessary creative move that shouldn’t have taken place. In his podcast, he provided the reason for his opinion.

Nash remarked that the primary problem that emerged from the match was that Johnson’s faction didn’t receive their due advantage. Instead, their supposed advantage held no value, thus making their rival take the gold home.

Kevin Nash laments the lack of “advantage” that Dwayne Johnson could have accrued following win

Before WrestleMania XL, Johnson had proclaimed that The Bloodline would play by their own rules if they won their bout in Mania Night 1. However, even after winning, The Bloodline lost the title because there were interferences to help Cody Rhodes bag the victory. In a recent episode of his Kliq This Podcast, Nash said, “There was no advantage. There was a run-in by a bunch of Hall of Famer legends. Thank God Steve [Austin] didn’t show up. The only thing left was for Hulk [Hogan] to come down and drop a leg on somebody.”

There were rumors of Stone Cold and Hulk Hogan’s return to the ring at WrestleMania XL. Kevin Nash is relieved that neither of the Hall of Famers was a part of the legends’ crossover as he deemed it unnecessary. Despite the jibes that Nash took at the former wrestler, his short wrestling run till WrestleMania XL has seemed to benefit the company by grabbing the attention of the fanbase.

Now, The Brahma Bull has entered a feud with the WWE Undisputed Universal Champion which will probably allow us to see him return to the promotion. And fans of the ‘Final Boss’ moniker can sigh a breath of relief as the moniker could live up to its name.

The Rock’s character might stay the same

The Rock returned to the Stamford-based company to take over Roman Reigns‘ spot in The Bloodline. His focus eventually shifted when fans demanded that Cody Rhodes finish his story instead. With the latter demand fulfilled, WWE seems to be highlighting a feud between The American Nightmare and the TKO board member. There is a strong possibility that throughout the duration, the “Final Boss” will continue with the heel persona that he currently has.

Co-hosts over at the Busted Open Podcast claimed that since Johnson is not being ‘booed’ by fans as a heel, the promotion won’t change his persona. So, fans’ love and appreciation for a Heel Rock could allow us to behold his presence in the ring once more in the future.
