After spending the majority of its tenure on the USA Network, WWE announced last year that its flagship show will move to Netflix. As a result, the Stamford-based promotion had a big show planned for the premiere. One of the most anticipated matches of the night is the Tribal Combat between Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa.
Another big match planned for the show is the showdown between CM Punk and Seth Rollins. Apart from this, several surprise appearances were planned for the show. One of those appearances happened to be The Rock.

A wrestling aficionado since childhood, Sunil used to imitate his favorite wrestlers as a young kid, and started writing professionally about the sport via Sportskeeda’s revenue-sharing opportunity.
Sunil admires former world champions AJ Styles, Will Ospreay, and Kenny Omega for their ability to consistently deliver great matches as well as entertain crowds with their mic skills.
If ever given a chance to change a storyline, Sunil would have booked Roman Reigns to end The Undertaker’s WrestleMania streak instead of Brock Lesnar. According to him, The Tribal Chief needed the victory more than Brock Lesnar, as the latter was already an established performer when he defeated ‘Taker. He would’ve also made that as Taker’s final match.
Always focused on making his work accurate and reliable, Sunil thoroughly checks his facts before writing his articles. When not writing for pro wrestling, he spends his time watching cricket.
