The Rock returned to WWE at Bad Blood after several months of absence. Hall of Famer Rikishi recently addressed The Final Boss' comeback.

Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes defeated Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu with the help of the returning Jimmy Uso at Bad Blood. As Jimmy and Reigns left the ring after the match, The Bloodline attacked The American Nightmare. The Original Tribal Chief and his cousin then returned to save Rhodes. The latter and Reigns then had a face-off which was interrupted by The Rock's sudden return.

The Final Boss counted to three on his hand and made a cut-throat gesture before leaving. On his Off The Top podcast, Riksihi praised The Rock's return. The WWE Hall of Famer stated that whenever the 52-year-old returns it was always good for business. Meanwhile, he pointed out that TKO loves the current board member.

"Anytime The Final Boss comes back, it's good for business. Whether you love him or hate him, the bottom line I know this is that TKO loves him. You see what I'm saying," he said. [11:00 - 11:13]

Will The Rock compete in a Triple Threat Match at WWE WrestleMania 41?

On the Rebooked podcast, wrestling veteran Matthew Rehwoldt (fka Aiden English) recently discussed The Rock's return at Bad Blood. He pointed out that having a match between The Final Boss and Roman Reigns is still a goal for the Stamford-based company.

Meanwhile, he suggested the two superstars could challenge Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship in a Triple Threat Match at WrestleMania 41:

"I think Rock and Roman is definitely a goal. They didn't get it last year. They pivoted. I think they want that freaking match. 'Mania has done [it] a lot of times with Triple Threats. Is this gonna build to a WrestleMania 41 Triple Threat for the title? Roman wants his title back," he said.

Following his return at Bad Blood, The Rock cut a promo backstage in which he took a shot at John Cena. It would be interesting to see if The Final Boss will also reignite his feud with the Leader of the Cenation during the latter's Farewell Tour next year.
