The Rock has been the mastermind behind his recent heel turn that perfectly fits in the storyline involving The Bloodline and Cody Rhodes.
‘The Final Boss’ has been promoting WrestleMania 40 and on the Will Cain Show, he revealed that he decided to become the biggest heel of all time after making his massive return to WWE.
The Rock discussed WWE fans turning against him when he tried to take Cody’s spot against Roman Reigns. Thereby, he kept the Roman Reigns vs Cody Rhodes intact but remained involved in the storyline and brought back the iconic ‘Hollywood Rock’ persona.
“Back in January, I called Nick Khan, our friend. And I said, I have an idea. How about this? Why don’t we take care of the people. Give them this story of Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns. And Nick said, great. And I said, however, it’s a little bit of a twist. He said, what’s that? I said, what if I became the greatest bad guy of all time?”
The Rock is set to make his highly-anticipated comeback to the squared circle at WrestleMania 40. On WrestleMania Saturday, he will join forces with Roman Reigns to face the team of Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins.
The outcome of the match will determine the stipulation for Sunday’s main event. If The Bloodline wins then Roman Reigns will defend the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship against Cody Rhodes under ‘Bloodline Rules’.
However, if Cody and Seth Rollins win, the next night’s main event will be free of The Bloodline.
The Rock’s future
The Rock’s involvement in the Road to WrestleMania 40 has certainly helped to garner more attention to the ‘Biggest WrestleMania Ever.’ However, it seems his commitments in Hollywood will prevent him from making appearances in WWE following the ‘Show of Shows.’
He will soon start filming his next movie, The Smashing Machine which will affect his schedule and he might not be available for WWE dates after the upcoming PLE.
