Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson Teases Puzzling Smackdown Appearance Without Roman Reigns & Bloodline

The upcoming SmackDown in Dallas is set to raise the bar, with Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins making an appearance. On the last episode of RAW, the duo announced they would confront Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson and The Bloodline. Arriving in Dallas, the duo wants to accept Johnson’s tag team match challenge face-to-face. No more hiding behind whispers or off-screen talks. However, ahead of the show, The Rock posted a puzzling post on social media teasing a Bloodline-less appearance.

Dwayne Johnson posts an edited version of his iconic catchphrase

Taking to social media on Instagram, The Rock posted a story. This was to hype up his appearance in Dallas for the upcoming SmackDown episode. However, fans noticed one thing which felt kinda off. The story featured Johnson saying his iconic catchphrase, “If you smell…..” But instead of “What The Rock and The Bloodline is cooking,” there was something else. Taken from the last episode of SmackDown, the video cuts once Johnson says the first half. It goes to him handing the mic to Reigns to say, “What The Bloodline is cooking.”

While this could be a sign of Johnson accepting Reigns as the Tribal Chief and being one with the group, it has never happened before. Since the last episode, The Rock has been promoting the upcoming SmackDown episode. However, he used the original line of “The Rock and The Bloodline.” Not including himself in the promo felt off to many fans.

The WWE is already hinting at a rift in the group with the tension present in last week’s promo. This twist in the story adds fuel to an already existing flame. While The Brahma Bull has sworn his allegiance to The Bloodline by accepting Reigns as his Tribal Chief, things could still take a turn.

Could Dwayne Johnson turn on Roman Reigns?

This is what many fans have pegged to be the outcome of this storyline. While on the surface, The Rock has teamed up with The Bloodline; there could be a different story at play. WWE fans believe that the Hollywood star will turn on Reigns to ensure Rhodes finishes his story.

There could be another outcome to Rock turning on Reigns. Johnson may want the position of the Tribal Chief. This is what Johnson teased during his return to the WWE. Fans have noticed The Rock’s hesitation when asked to accept Reigns as the Tribal Chief. What do you think about the promo story? Do you think Johnson will betray his Tribal Chief?
