In 2020, Roman Reigns returned to WWE as The Tribal Chief and aligned with Paul Heyman. This marked the beginning of a generational run, as the duo formed The Bloodline.
Over the last few years, The Bloodline dominated the company, with The Usos also winning the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship. In 2024, the faction added The Rock, making them stronger than ever.
With Roman Reigns' historic title reign coming to an end, he is expected to take time off from the company. The same could be assumed for The Rock, who could return to Hollywood. However, nothing has been confirmed as of yet.
