Triple H put The Rock in his place at SmackDown tonight by giving his authoritative vote to Roman Reigns vs Cody Rhodes for the WrestleMania headline event. But that doesn’t mean we will be run out of the cousins’ storyline anytime soon. Thanks to Paul Heyman’s intriguing announcement for next week’s blue brand show.

The Rock is slated to have more Bloodline segments in the coming weeks

Since Triple H silenced the loud rumors of The Rock main-eventing WrestleMania against the Tribal Chief by giving a clear answer in the early hours of the night, two big matches went down with Bianca Belair and  Drew Mclntyre having the last smile. Now, as the ball reached The Wise Man’s court, he came up with a new hook regarding the faded-out The Rock vs Roman Reigns angle. Heyman warned Paul to talk with him next week before revealing he’ll be with his Tribal Chief, Roman Reigns, and The Rock Salt Lake City Utah, next week.

But do you find yourself analyzing the company’s motive behind bringing back The Rock’s heel persona at this point? If the answer is yes, then you can find some food for thought here.

Why did WWE bring ‘The Rock’s’ forgotten heel era back into the fray?

Ever since The multi-time WWE World Champion started to slide himself into the Cody Rhodes business, the WWE fraternity turned on him.  The huge amount of negative reactions from the fans prompted the company creative to think about the lucrative selling point of a potential heel turn.  So, they took the wise call.

Secondly, The Bloodline has been losing its charm lately. Following the multiple cracks in the family tree, fans seemed to be pretty bored with the predictive turn of events. So, a strong reboot was needed to revitalize the signature WWE stable. Reigniting The Rock’s connection with the family and his fight for the Head of The Table added this much-needed spice to the storyline and it could no way be possible without The Rock breaking the boundary of his good-guy image.

Last but not least, the company might finally look to shade more spotlight on Cody Rhodes before crowning him at WrestleMania. It will look more fascinating to see Rhodes clinch his belt by overcoming The Bloodline and The Rock.
