In the latest episode of SmackDown, fans yearned for the presence of legends Roman Reigns and The Rock, and their absence did not go unnoticed. However, the anticipation has reached new heights as their return has been officially announced. Both iconic figures are set to make a grand entrance in the upcoming episode of the Blue Brand.
Taking the reins in this week’s SmackDown was Triple H, who seized the spotlight and laid down the groundwork for WrestleMania 40’s main event. The WWE Universe was informed that the undisputed WWE Universal Championship will be up for grabs in a fierce battle between Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes. Triple H, ever the provocateur, also directed some strong words towards The Rock.
Behind the scenes, a significant meeting unfolded between Triple H and Braun Breaker. Seeking guidance on choosing between Raw and SmackDown, Breaker engaged in a backstage conversation with The Game. The plot thickened when Paul Heyman entered the scene and, in a cryptic message to Triple H, announced, “I’ll talk to you next week and then I’ll be joined by Tribal Chief Roman Reigns and The Rock.”
Heyman’s revelation has set the stage for a highly explosive episode of WWE SmackDown. The next installment promises revelations from Roman Reigns and The Rock regarding the decisions made at the WrestleMania 40 Kickoff Press Conference. Additionally, Cody Rhodes is expected to make an appearance, indicating a tumultuous turn of events on the blue brand.
The road to WrestleMania 40 took an unexpected twist when Cody Rhodes, initially stating he wouldn’t challenge Roman Reigns, changed his stance at the recent WrestleMania XL press conference. The American Nightmare announced his intention to challenge Reigns, leading to a chaotic altercation where The Rock, in front of everyone, delivered a resounding slap to Cody Rhodes. Despite displeasure from onlookers, The Rock summoned Triple H backstage to address the unfolding chaos.
WWE COO Triple H had previously announced the Roman Reigns vs. Cody Rhodes match, standing firm on his decision in a SmackDown promo. However, with the imminent return of Roman Reigns and The Rock, the narrative is poised for a potential upheaval. The wrestling world eagerly awaits to see whether the landscape will change in the aftermath of their return.
As the stage is set for an explosive episode, the WWE Universe can only brace itself for the imminent collision of legends, shocking revelations, and the brewing tensions that could reshape the WrestleMania 40 landscape.
