HUGE title loss; finally feud with Roman Reigns? - 3 reasons why The Rock should make WWE return after Bad Blood

The Rock is undoubtedly one of the biggest needle movers in WWE history when it comes to ratings and viewership. Since his departure from the active wrestling scene after WrestleMania XL, it has been clear that his presence lent something truly special to the company.

Fans are certainly eager for his return, especially given how things between him and Cody Rhodes ended. With the returning Bad Blood event on the horizon, excitement is high in the community. There are quite a few storylines going into the PLE, but there are plenty of storylines that could be set up afterward, too. In the following list, we will take a look at why the Brahma Bull should make a comeback right after Bad Blood.

#3. The Rock needs to conclude his WWE storyline with Cody Rhodes

While The American Nightmare's win at WrestleMania XL was a momentous occasion, the storyline between him and The Rock is hardly over. This was confirmed when the Brahma Bull appeared on RAW after WrestleMania, claiming that he would be back to finish his feud with Cody later. This could also lead to a title change, with The Rock taking the Undisputed WWE Championship for himself.

Right after Bad Blood, The Rock could easily slip into his Final Boss persona to make his return. This would put him directly against Cody Rhodes. Furthermore, the involvement of Roman Reigns could add another layer of intrigue to the storyline, which would make for an interesting affair.

#2. The Rock could side with Roman to take on the new Bloodline

While The Rock has unfinished business with Cody Rhodes, he could also ally with The American Nightmare in a wild turn of events. Stranger things have happened in the pro-wrestling world, and a twist like this is plausible.

With Roman Reigns back in the active WWE scene, it is not far-fetched to assume that The Rock would continue to be in cahoots with him. Considering Reigns is currently allied with Cody Rhodes, albeit uneasily, this could lead to The Rock working alongside The American Nightmare. This would further bolster their numbers against the new Bloodline, who have an advantage over the duo at this point.

#1. The Rock could be a great addition when WWE RAW moves to Netflix

RAW is set to move to Netflix starting next year, which will undoubtedly impact the viewership numbers. As such, WWE will certainly try to make sure that the numbers only rise instead of dip, and The Rock would be a great help in that regard.

The Brahma Bull is shown to have a legendary track record when it comes to drawing in casual viewers. His return before WrestleMania XL led to record-breaking ratings, making the Showcase of the Immortals one of the most successful events in the company's history. If The Rock gets back into the active scene after Bad Blood, it would lead to the product getting more eyes on it before it moves to Netflix, thereby making sure the transition doesn't affect the brand negatively.

There is no doubt that the return of The Rock is one of the most anticipated comebacks as of now. It remains to be seen whether Bad Blood will be his landing zone when he gets back into action in WWE.
