The Rock to fire close family member and replace him with popular Bloodline member? Exploring potential betrayal
The Rock has been away from WWE since RAW after WrestleMania XL. In his absence, Solo Sikoa has risen to power and taken over The Bloodline.
Sikoa will be put to the test this Saturday when he and Jacob Fatu lock horns with Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes in a tag team match at Bad Blood.
If The Street Champ and The Samoan Werewolf are unable to pick up the win at Bad Blood, it could lead to the return of The Final Boss, who could be unveiled as the man behind Solo Sikoa's actions over the past few months.
Sikoa being pinned in the match would be enough for The Rock to decide that the self-proclaimed Tribal Chief wasn't good enough to control The Bloodline he has created. The People's Champion could make a shocking return and fire Solo. He could replace the 31-year-old with Jacob Fatu. However, the angle is speculative at this point.
The Rock to return at WWE Bad Blood and reveal himself as The Tribal Chief?
The Rock has been absent from WWE TV since the April 8, 2024, episode of Monday Night RAW. However, there have been rumors that he has been pulling the strings from the background. Sikoa has accomplished a lot as The Tribal Chief, but it seems that his ascension to power was orchestrated by The Final Boss.
The Rock made it clear in his final appearance that he had unfinished business with Cody Rhodes following the latter's victory over Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 40. However, his real issue could be with Roman Reigns for losing the Undisputed WWE Universal Title, and he could have been pushing Solo Sikoa to teach The OTC a lesson.
However, if Solo fails to get the job done at Bad Blood, then there could be a punishment heading his way. The Great One could make a shocking return after the match and brutally attack The Street Champ before unveiling himself as The Tribal Chief.
However, this is also speculative at this point. It will be interesting to see if The Great One returns to WWE TV in Atlanta this Saturday.
