The Rock to miss high-stakes Bloodline encounter at WWE Survivor Series WarGames? Chances analyzed
WWE Bad Blood ended with quite a surprise, as The Rock made an emphatic return. Following an epic battle that saw Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns take on Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu, The Final Boss made his presence felt. He didn't do much, as he simply made a few gestures before going backstage. But, since then, fans have been eagerly waiting to see him again.
His presence certainly sparked the rumor mill, and of course, there's nothing like some good old fantasy booking. Many expect The Rock to feature in a match soon, and the favorite right now is for him to feature at WWE Survivor Series WarGames. This certainly would be quite the spectacle, especially if we see a scenario where a Bloodline led by The Final Boss goes against one led by Roman Reigns. However, there is a good chance the 52-year-old will miss the PLE entirely, and it all comes down to how dangerous it is.
A WarGames match isn't exactly easy. It's a gruesome affair that leaves most superstars just bruised and battered if they're lucky. Given his age, and the fact that his last match was nearly six months ago, throwing The Rock into that hellish situation could prove to be a nightmare for WWE. It could lead to an injury that would spoil the long-term plans for The Brahma Bull.
With that in mind, it may be a wise idea to keep him away from Survivor Series. Then again, this is all just a matter of speculation. There really is no telling what WWE's plans are for The People's Champ, let alone if he will make another appearance this year. We will just have to wait and see.
The Rock might be working in tandem with Solo Sikoa
The Rock's appearance at Bad Blood was cryptic, to say the least. He came out gave us his classic eyebrow raised, lifted up three fingers, and walked out. Outside of that, we've only seen the videos backstage, where he addressed both Dusty Rhodes and John Cena's pictures. This raises the question, what was the purpose of his return?
Well, there is a good chance he is working with Solo Sikoa. While nothing has been confirmed, The Street Champion and new Tribal Chief of The Bloodline himself suggested that something might be afoot. Following the main event, Sikoa and his subordinates escaped through the crowd. While there, a fan took a video where Sikoa can be heard commenting on Rocky's return, claiming it is all "part of the plan".
If this proves to be true, and The Final Boss is indeed working with Sikoa, it will be interesting to see what they do. Is Rock the true new Tribal Chief? Is he mentoring Sikoa? What are their plans for Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes? All of this will hopefully be answered in time.
