Randy Orton has come a long way in building himself back up to be fit enough to wrestle in WWE, but unfortunately, an assault by The Bloodline has left him hurt and unable to wrestle yet again. The star will seek revenge and may have the perfect way to get it.
Solo Sikoa has taken over The Bloodline and termed himself the Tribal Chief in Roman Reigns's absence. The star has tried to show himself as Reigns's dominant replacement and has even managed to do so, thanks to the arrival of Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa, and Jacob Fatu. However, there have been rumors of a secret leader of the stable—The Rock.
Randy Orton, Kevin Owens, and Cody Rhodes have all suffered at the hands of The Bloodline, but Orton, in particular, has suffered severe punishment. The last time he had to be out for almost 1.5 years was because of an assault by the group. This new version of the faction has also taken it on themselves to hurt him.

Randy Orton often knows the reality of what is going on. He may have figured out that the secret leader of The Bloodline is none other than The Rock. To stop the faction from causing the damage that they are on SmackDown, he may take things into his own hands.
Taking out the leader is a surefire way of handling the group, and attacking The Rock would also lead to an interesting feud between The Viper and The Brahma Bull.
Randy Orton has reason to suspect The Rock of being involved in the Bloodline
When The Rock was in WWE alongside Roman Reigns, he was already hinting at standing out from the crowd and being in charge. Although he acknowledged Reigns as the Tribal Chief, The Brahma Bull also declared himself The Final Boss, subtly indicating he was calling the shots.
He later went on to change the finger gesture for the Bloodline for himself in a hint at a betrayal, as well as pointing at Reigns when saying that he would be back.
Fans thought it would happen at WrestleMania XL itself, but they may have to wait a bit longer.
Overall, The Rock gave plenty of hints that he and Reigns were not on the same page. As a result, someone as observant as Randy Orton will know that the veteran would eventually take Reigns' absence as the perfect opportunity to take over The Bloodline even while remaining off-screen.
