However, a recent social media post by The Peoples Champ might answer the questions of numerous fans.

Is Dwayne Johnson cooking up something fishy?

After the recent SmackDown event, the WWE Universe could feel the heat between the Samoan wrestlers. However, a recent social media post by The Brahma Bull on Instagram possibly cleared the air. Reigns had requested The Rock to acknowledge him, to which Johnson took a pause but did the deed.

After this section, fans were shocked speculating about a developing feud between the two. Seemingly in response to this, Johnson posted a video of his SmackDown entrance, with Beyoncé’s ‘My House’ playing over the segment. With the post, it seems that Johnson is adamant about letting everyone know that family comes first. This also dissipates the rumor that Johnson is planning on playing both sides when it comes to Rhodes vs Reigns, as he seems to be making it a priority to get rid of Rhodes over any family issues he might have with Reigns.

This suggests that currently, The Rock may be focused on supporting The Bloodline’s position to be at the top, rather than betraying his cousin. But, what led to this betrayal rumor?

Why does everyone think The Peoples Champ will betray The Tribal Chief?

So what happened? Well in short, when The Bloodline members came into the ring this Friday, people were chanting “Rocky, Rocky”. This did not go down well with The Tribal Chief. However, amidst all this, The Rock made an electrifying entry in the ring as well.

The Rock proposed a WrestleMania Night One stipulation: If Rhodes and Rollins win, The Bloodline can’t interfere in Rhodes’ Night Two title match. But, if they lose, it’s a “Bloodline Rules” match, with The Rock warning Rhodes refusal means no title win.

As The Rock was about to conclude in his iconic style, the Tribal Chief interrupted, causing a shock. Reigns stared intensely at his legendary family member.

Responding to The Rock’s WrestleMania Night 1 challenge, Reigns declared his willingness to do anything for his family, asking only for acknowledgment. Despite expectations of conflict, The Brahma Bull acknowledged Reigns as his Tribal Chief, ending the segment.

What do you think about Dwayne Johnson’s recent social media post? Do you think he will betray his cousin and side with Rhodes or not?
