Well, the WWE universe was rocked to its core when the Rock came out on New Year’s Day and surprised everyone. The rumour of a former WWE champion walking out to the center was already there and not too many people believed that it could have been the Brahma Bull.
But then being the package of surprises that WWE is, they had the luxury of bringing out Dwayne Johnson after a booing reaction to the arrival of Drew McIntyre and what followed suit was sheer brilliance.
It all hits differently.
The theme, the crowd, the connection, the reaction, the electricity, the chills.

It was expected that the Rock was supposed to steal the limelight and he did. However, the moment that changed it all was the Rock’s last statement which said that he probably wanted to sit at the head of the table and WWE went berserk for the same. Well what can it imply? We have thought of three possible repercussions and here they are.
#1 The Rock challenges Roman Reigns for the ultimate title of the Tribal Chief
Surprise, folks, surprise. For everyone who wanted Solo Sikoa to be the next Tribal Chief, the tables turned and this is going to be one bloody road with Dwayne Johnson coming into the thick of things. With the culmination probably scripted for Wrestlemania, the twist and turns should begin by the finish of Royal Rumble where the Rock may come out just to tease Roman.

Well, it has been a while since Dwayne Johnson has been a heel and with this entire people’s thing going, chances are very less that he will be turned a heel. So what remains the possible explanation? He calls the shots at the Table and for that to happen, Dwayne Johnson calls Solo Sikoa to aid him and the Enforcer obliges.
#3 The Bloodline Story comes to an end
The Bloodline Story may finally come to an end with Roman Reigns and the Rock duking out an absolute slugfest and what follows suit is sheer carnage and brutality. With punches thrown, blood spilled and most importantly, any one of the two thrown down the gutter, the world is won.
