The mid-way point of the Day 1 Raw episode finally wiped out fans’ curiosity by bringing out the hugely mentioned former WWE Champion. But the announcement emerged as a disappointment to the fans as they barely expected Jinder Mahal to be that champion. Intense speculation had surfaced on who could be the champion to dip his feet at the red brand tonight. Several bigwigs were included in the list. That said, even if Mahal’s entrance stirred frustration, WWE had something more in the store to make it up.

Shortly after Mahal triggered the anti-American emotion, The Rock made a stellar entry to pop the crowd majestically. He rushed to the ring and posed for the crowd. His presence was not a complete surprise for fans. There was already some speculation regarding his much-awaited return but what he did in the show left everyone surprised.

The Rock vs Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 40 has been a hot topic of discussion in the pro wrestling world for a while now. And with The Rock giving an explicit reference to The Tribal Chief at Raw tonight, it got more cranked up.

After being done assaulting Mahal, The People’s Champion took to address his fans with a microphone. He wished them a Happy New Year. The Hollywood star noted that when he goes out to eat, he should eat at a booth, at a bar, or The Head Of The Table, a crystal obvious hint of his impending affairs with Roman Reigns.

We need to see if WWE realizes the dream matchup at the Grandest Stage of Them All down the line.

But the highly sought-after encounter between two cousins might occur early as well, at least as per the recent reports.

Roman Reigns still being a part-time champion wrestled only 11 matches in 2023, but it seems like he will be pitched in a major match in the first half of the year 2024 on The Road to WrestleMania 40.

Some latest reports suggested that local officials have built some pointers to lure Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson to Perth, Western Australia for the second PLE of the year, the Elimination Chamber on Saturday, February 24. More surprisingly, WWE responded positively to those teases as depicted in the tourism department e-mails.
