Dwayne Johnson Heel Return: Everything You May Have Missed From Smackdown 2/16 Bloodline Promo

Tonight’s edition of SmackDown was one for the history books. But why? Because tonight was the night that the Rock became a full heel again. As Roman Reigns, Solo Sikoa, Jimmy Uso, and Paul Heyman came to the ring tonight, ‘The Tribal Chief’ welcomed the newest member of The Bloodline, Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson.

For all those who missed the iconic and much-anticipated segment, fret not, as we bring you all the details you need from the promo.

The People’s champ goes against the people

Accompanied by the other members of the Bloodline and Paul Heyman, Roman Reigns made his entrance to star in the last segment of the night. After demanding that the Salt Lake City public acknowledge him, “The Tribal Chief” made it clear to them that they would have to act properly before their cousin’s arrival, as they would be in the presence of something historic. Talk about foreshadowing, right? The crowd responded by chanting The American Nightmare’s name. However, Reigns ignored them to announce that the Rock is officially a member of The Bloodline. That said, the WWE legend made his electrifying appearance wearing a gold and black Versace jacket.

The crowd greeted the Brahma Bull with timid boos before he took the microphone. The legend reported that the stadium had broken its attendance record for the state of Utah tonight before Reigns chimed in. The Tribal Chief quipped that they broke the record for the largest gathering of trailer park trash he’s ever seen. The Rock continued mocking Salt Lake City, which was privileged to have his presence. He began his catchphrase “finally,” only to be booed by the crowd before he could finish it. He asks if they’re sure they want to boo, and then he says, “Finally, your life has meaning. Finally, you and your 50 wives will have a story to tell your 600 inbred grandchildren.” 

The Rock continued to taunt the fans as they booed him. The 51-year-old confessed that his reactions over the past few weeks have brought out a part of himself that he had hidden. He further slammed fans for ruining the WrestleMania main event that everyone had really wanted to put Cody Rhodes in. The Brahma Bull recalled that Rhodes failed in his attempt last year, and now they support him in a new attempt. He confessed that he didn’t understand the logic of the fans.

Pointing out that the world doesn’t work the way fans think it does, he promised that he would make sure Rhodes came out of WrestleMania XL as the loser that he is. And then comes the mic drop moment as he ends the show with, “Can you smell what The Bloodline is cooking?”.

Now what?

With The Rock being part of The Bloodline, and after his promise to become an obstacle to Rhodes not being able to finish his story, it is to be expected that ‘The American Nightmare’ will react on the next episode of Monday Night Raw. It should be remembered that Seth Rollins offered to be his “shield” in this war. If he accepts this offer, both could end up facing The Rock and Reigns in a tag team match on night 1 of the great event. As reported by several specialized media.
