Huge WWE legend will return for Tribal Combat between Roman Reigns & Solo Sikoa on RAW, says analyst
Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa are set to square off in Tribal Combat on WWE RAW's premiere on Netflix. WWE analyst Sam Roberts recently predicted the return of a massive legend for the anticipated clash.
The Rock went on hiatus following the RAW after WrestleMania XL. In October, The Final Boss made a surprise appearance at Bad Blood to make a cryptic, seemingly threatening gesture to Roman Reigns, Cody Rhodes, and Jimmy Uso. A recent report from WrestleVotes claimed the 52-year-old WWE legend will return on the January 6 episode of Monday Night RAW on Netflix.
On his Notsam Wrestling podcast, Roberts predicted The Rock would show up for the Tribal Combat between the OTC and the self-proclaimed Tribal Chief.
"I think, I gotta believe that The Rock shows up for Tribal Combat. I gotta believe that on January 6th we find out what side of The Bloodline, if any, The Rock has been supporting. Who's to say The Rock doesn't have his own Bloodline? Who's to say The Rock hasn't been formulating his own faction? Who's to say The Rock is gonna support either one of them? But I think he probably will," he said.
The 41-year-old WWE analyst host believed The Final Boss would side with Sikoa's Bloodline against Reigns' leading to the OTC having to go through the heel faction to get to The Rock.
"And I think the idea of The Rock is flanked by Solo, Jacob, and Tama Tonga. And Jey Uso and Sami Zayn, like Roman's whole Bloodline, is busy with like, you know, Drew McIntyre, is busy with all these other guys that now Roman Reigns is gonna have to go through this unbeatable force just to eventually get to The Rock. I mean that's amazing to me." [48:06 - 49:11]
Sam Roberts thinks John Cena will also be on WWE RAW's premiere on Netflix
John Cena last appeared at Money in the Bank 2024 to announce that he would be retiring from in-ring competition next year. The Cenation Leader would reportedly embark on his retirement tour in January 2025.
On the same episode of his Notsam Wrestling podcast, Sam Roberts predicted that Cena would be on the premiere of RAW on Netflix.
"There's no doubt in my mind that John Cena will be at Netflix RAW. I don't know this as a fact. But if he's back for the year 2025, what better place to kick it off than on Netflix," he said.
It will be interesting to see whether Cena and The Rock show up on January 6 to potentially kick off their Road to WrestleMania 41.
