Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson’s Return Opponent Seemingly Set Ahead of SummerSlam

Following his return to WWE earlier this year, The Rock quickly positioned himself as the leading candidate to challenge Roman Reigns at WrestleMania XL. However, after Cody Rhodes won the Royal Rumble and the public insistently demanded that he face Reigns, WWE had to reconsider plans and scrap the match between The Rock and Roman Reigns.

And now that WrestleMania is over, the Rock is busy with his Hollywood projects again. But what happens once he returns to the WWE again? Who would he fight next? Will it be Cody Rhodes, as he promised, or someone else? Well, according to WWE legend Mark Henry, the Rock is already busy setting up his next fight.

The latest episode of WWE Friday Night SmackDown featured a new chapter of the storyline starring Paul Heyman and the new Bloodline. In Roman Reigns’ absence, Solo Sikoa continues to lead the faction, ignoring the advice of ‘The Wiseman’. During a backstage segment, Heyman approached Solo Sikoa, the current leader of Bloodline, to remind him that while Reigns used violence when he was in charge, it was only used when necessary and always after talking at length. Now, the strategy has devolved into senseless violence without a purpose. And this, according to some fans, is not making the faction credible. Well, according to Mark Henry in the Busted Open Podcast, the WWE should book them in a feud against a top credible star.

And who better to fight the Tribal Chief other than Sikao? This would also turn the former WWE Undisputed Universal Champion face.

Mark Henry suggests that Dwayne Johnson could set up a clash against Roman Reigns via Solo Sikao

“They can dominate the way that they are. They need to have some more quality matches against elite guys to show everybody, ‘Man, this dude is crazy and a loose cannon, but damn, he’s good.’ And then it won’t happen for them until Roman comes back. And Roman goes, ‘Solo, good job holding the fort down. Not the way that I would have done it. But good job nonetheless’ and everybody’s on the same page. And then Solo gives them a look, and they jump Roman. And that’s going to make Roman a real babyface.”

But that’s not all; the WWE might also reveal Dwayne Johnson’s next opponent through this method. How? By unveiling the truth that Sikoa is just a henchman to the Brahma Bull and he is the new Tribal Chief. “And then that will find out that Solo is doing the bidding of somebody else, which I think will be The Rock. Which he always was going to turn. The Rock spent all that time turning Solo because he knew he was next…So now you have the Rock and Roman.”

If this is how WWE books the future of The Bloodline, then fans will surely rush in to buy tickets. After all, who wouldn’t love to watch a fight between the Final Boss and The Tribal Chief? Maybe even Cody Rhodes would team up with the babyface Reigns to fight Dwayne Johnson. What do you think? Does it sound like a good idea to you? Let us know in the comments.
