Both The Rock and Roman Reigns are two of the biggest stars of their generation. While DJ has imitated quite an astonishing fortune in Hollywood just like WWE, his Samoan cousin has also carved his way onto the top. After struggling to get over with the crowd during his babyface run, Reigns has been untouchable as the Head of the Table.
The Rock recently talked about whether he acknowledges Reigns and how he feels about The Bloodline stable.
Does Dwayne Johnson acknowledge Roman Reigns?
Dwayne Johnson has made few appearances over the years in WWE owing to his Hollywood commitments.
However, he still loves the business where he left an enduring legacy and talks about it whenever he can. The legacy of the Anoa’i family in the ring is now carried by Roman Reigns who calls himself ‘The Tribal Chief’.
Reigns’ run has been characterized by the popular phrase ‘Acknowledge Me’, demanding the fans to bow to his supremacy.
Despite Reigns’ amazing run, The Rock may still be the biggest name in the Anoa’i family. As such, fans are hoping to see them clash inside the ring to determine who is better. In a recent interview with Chris Van Villet, DJ talked about his upcoming movie Black Adam and had a few words for his cousin Roman Reigns.
Van Villet asked The Rock whether he acknowledges the Tribal Chief, to which he replied, “I do. It’s my family”. Villet told him that Reigns calls himself as the Head of the Table, but it looks like it’s The Rock.
To this, The People’s Champ answered that Roman and others have adapted well to all the unexpected changes in WWE. He said, “When the unexpected happens in that kind of way and form and fashion especially in that business you got to have the ability and the agility to pivot which they have. So with Roman I think he’s doing a pretty good job and the boys too the Usos too as well.”
