The Rock and Roman Reigns appeared on this week’s episode of WWE SmackDown, with The Rock challenging Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins to a tag team match on Night One of WrestleMania 40.
This week’s episode of WWE SmackDown opened with The Bloodline coming to the ring for a promo segment. The Rock announced that he would be turning down Rhodes’ challenge of a match at any time, but instead proposed a match between himself and Roman Reigns facing off against Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins at WrestleMania 40.
The incentive for Rhodes is that if he and Rollins win the match, The Bloodline will stay out of Rhodes’ match with Reigns on Night Two of WrestleMania 40. However, if The Rock and Roman Reigns win the tag-team match, it’ll be a “Bloodline Rules” match between Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns on Night Two of WrestleMania 40. The Rock has demanded Rhodes’ answer by next week’s episode of WWE SmackDown in Dallas, Texas. If Rhodes winds up turning him down, he’ll do everything in his power to make sure Rhodes loses.
As The Rock went to do his “If Ya Smell…” catchphrase, Roman Reigns interrupted and demanded that the Great One acknowledge him. While Rock hesitated at first, he wound up acknowledging Roman as the Tribal Chief.
