After the conclusion of SmackDown, The Rock displayed his compassionate side to a young fan.
The Rock (via X/@WrestleFeatures) embraced his more sinister persona during the final moments of the latest episode of SmackDown, fully embracing his heel character for the first time in years. However, once the cameras stopped rolling and the show came to an end, the fans in attendance were treated to a heartwarming scene. The Brahma Bull broke character, stepping out of his newly adopted villainous role.
In a heartwarming moment captured after the show, The Rock, still in character as the villain, took the opportunity to engage with the fans seated in the front row. As he made his way along the barricade, his intimidating demeanor softened when he came face-to-face with a young fan. Despite staying in character, The Hollywood Superstar couldn’t resist the infectious joy of the moment, and with a warm smile, he exchanged a fist bump with the delighted child, briefly breaking his tough-guy facade.
The Rock began by commending Utah for the record-breaking turnout, acknowledging the energy of the crowd. However, true to his villainous character, he quickly changed his tone, delivering a provocative remark that labeled the audience as “trailer park trash.” The verbal attack didn’t stop there, as The Great One singled out a fan in the audience, referring to them as “fatty.”
The Rock took a swipe at the #WeWantCody movement, mocking the fans as “crybabies.” He criticized the story, questioning its logic, and unfavorably compared Cody to the San Francisco 49ers and the Utah Jazz, suggesting that they handled defeat better.
The Hollywood actor dismissed The American Nightmare’s request for a rematch as undeserving, showcasing his disdain for the wrestler’s ambitions. Interestingly, The Rock deliberately avoided mentioning Cody’s victory in the Royal Rumble, further undermining his credibility.
Following his intense promo on SmackDown, it appears that The Rock is fully aligned with and supports The Bloodline. The Hollywood actor’s words indicated unwavering backing for Reigns, hinting at his willingness to assist Reigns in retaining his title and defeating Cody Rhodes.
This potential alliance could have significant ramifications for the wrestling world, as The Brahma Bull’s involvement could tip the scales in Reigns’ favor and further solidify The Bloodline’s dominance in the ring. During the promo segment on SmackDown, The Rock’s actions raised suspicion among viewers and fellow wrestlers.
Despite seeming to support Roman Reigns and The Bloodline, some fans noticed subtle indications that suggested a different agenda. WWE Hall of Famer also expressed doubt, pointing out that Rocky’s failure to acknowledge Reigns as The Tribal Chief in a respectful manner was suspicious.
With The Rock’s subtle clues and the underlying tensions, it appears that the path to WrestleMania for The Bloodline is far from straightforward. The Rock’s involvement adds a layer of complexity to the storyline, suggesting potential twists and turns that could shape the upcoming events.
