Cody Rhodes to be stripped of his title, Solo Sikoa to give up the Ula Fala? 4 ways The Rock could misuse his power in WWE
WWE Bad Blood aired this past Saturday and it featured several monumental returns. Hall of Famer Goldberg made his comeback during a segment featuring Triple H and Gunther. Raquel Rodriguez and Jimmy Uso also made their returns after being gone for months.
The most notable return of them all was an appearance by The Rock. The Final Boss appeared on the stage in the closing minutes of the program, eyeing Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes who were standing tall in the ring together.
The Rock being back was a surprise, but it was also something fans had been anticipating. The Final Boss is a TKO board member and wields a lot of power, so he can come and go whenever he pleases.
With great power comes great responsibility, but there is also the chance of the said power being abused. The Rock can misuse his power. Now that he might be back more regularly, how might The People's Champion abuse his status?
Below are four ways The Rock could misuse his power in WWE.
#4 He could give himself an Undisputed WWE Championship match without earning it
The last time The Rock was a full-time active superstar in WWE was over 20 years ago. He later ventured into acting. As a result, The Final Boss is unlikely to compete in a potential number-one contenders match. Despite that, he has made it clear that he intends to win Cody Rhodes' Undisputed WWE Title.
One way The People's Champion could abuse his power is by giving himself a title match without actually earning it. Instead of being in a qualifying match of some kind with the other top stars of SmackDown, he could simply decide to book himself in a title bout.
#3 The Rock could strip Cody Rhodes of his title
There is an even more blatant abuse of power that The Final Boss could do on WWE television. This would be highly controversial and wrestling fans would be furious, but he could truly ruin Cody Rhodes' world title reign.
Instead of making himself the number one contender to dethrone Cody Rhodes of the Undisputed WWE Championship, The Rock could skip the leg work altogether. The People's Champion could instead strip Cody of his title.
This would mean the belt would become vacant. From here, he could either award himself the title or let others fight for it. Regardless of what he'd do, it would mean Cody Rhodes would lose his prized title without even being defeated. It would be a disgraceful move, yet The Rock might do it.
#2 He could force Solo Sikoa to give him the Ula Fala
The Rock's focus might not just be on Cody Rhodes and the Undisputed WWE Championship. The Final Boss could have his eyes set on The Bloodline.
Currently, The Tribal Chief is Solo Sikoa. The former WWE NXT North American Champion walks around with the Ula Fala and claims to be The Head of the Table. However, The Rock may be unsatisfied with this.
The Rock could use his power, not just as a member of the board of directors, but as an elder in The Bloodline, and insist Solo hand over the Ula Fala to him.
#1 The Rock could move Jimmy Uso to Monday Night RAW
Speaking of Roman Reigns, The Final Boss is likely not happy with the former Undisputed WWE Champion. He seemed annoyed after Roman lost his world title at WrestleMania, but he looked even more annoyed at Bad Blood.
Roman Reigns teamed up with Cody Rhodes at the show. In the end, Cody, Roman, and the returning Jimmy Uso fought off Solo Sikoa, Jacob Fatu, Tama Tonga, and Tonga Loa. This means The Rock's former allies were standing side-by-side with his biggest opposition.
As a result, The Rock may be on bad terms with Roman Reigns and the two could even collide in the future. To keep things in his favor, The Final Boss may take Roman's one true ally away.
He could move Jimmy Uso to Monday Night RAW, leaving Roman without a family member by his side on the blue brand. This would help The People's Champion if they end up fighting.
