It seems Roman Reigns will face The Rock at WrestleMania 40 based on the events that unfolded on the latest edition of SmackDown. While WWE hinting at this potential match on Friday Night SmackDown has received plenty of negative reactions, the chances of the Stamford-based promotion going ahead with this match seem likely.
Hence, if Reigns does face The Rock, he indeed has plenty to worry about. Not only will The Tribal Chief's coveted title be under threat, but the future of The Bloodline will also be in jeopardy in a feud against The Rock. A 58-year-old former WWE Superstar could return and help The Brahma Bull destroy The Bloodline.
The former superstar who could make his return is Rikishi. If Roman Reigns vs. The Rock is made official for WrestleMania 40, fans could witness Rikishi's return and revolt against The Bloodline. He could also pull Jimmy Uso and Solo Sikoa out of the heel faction, and that would leave Reigns with no one apart from Paul Heyman.

By doing so, The Samoan Stinker could once again say that he did it for The Rock. While the angle is speculative, if something like this happens, it will be nostalgic for many people in the WWE Universe. In the coming weeks on SmackDown, it will be interesting to see how the storyline involving Reigns progresses.
