WWE RAW is set to move to Netflix on January 6, 2025, and on its debut show, The Rock is rumored to make an earth-shattering appearance. The last time The Final Boss appeared in WWE was at Bad Blood 2024, where he confronted Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes after their tag match.
Fans had also anticipated The Great One’s return at Survivor Series: WarGames 2024 in the aftermath of the Bloodline Civil War, but that did not come to pass. As we approach RAW’s Netflix debut, speculation is rife that The Rock may not show up alone. Instead, he could bring the 6-foot-8-inch Hikuleo as his enforcer on the red brand.
The People’s Champion is expected to target either Roman Reigns or Cody Rhodes upon his return. By aligning himself with Hikuleo, The Rock could command the towering star to decimate anyone he desires. Furthermore, the 33-year-old Hikuleo might also serve as a protective shield for the Hollywood star, guarding him from any imminent threats.
This dynamic would be reminiscent of Jacob Fatu’s role as the enforcer for Solo Sikoa in the New Bloodline. Introducing Hikuleo alongside The Rock would be a spectacular way to debut the NJPW STRONG Openweight Champion in WWE. Such an alliance would not only create buzz but also increase interest in subsequent RAW episodes, ultimately attracting more viewers to the Netflix shows.
For those unaware, Hikuleo has reportedly already signed with WWE, although he has yet to make his debut. It’s been months since news of his signing broke, but Triple H may be waiting for the perfect moment to introduce him.
It remains to be seen whether RAW’s Netflix debut will serve as the stage for Hikuleo’s long-awaited debut in the company.
The Rock might make a major declaration upon his WWE return
Whenever The People’s Champion returns to the Stamford-based promotion, The Rock could make a major declaration by asserting himself as the true mastermind behind the new Bloodline. Solo Sikoa’s faction recently suffered a significant loss to the OG Bloodline and CM Punk in the WarGames match, a result that The Rock is likely displeased with.
Upon his next appearance, The Rock might declare himself as the true leader of The Bloodline, signaling that it was time for him to take matters into his own hands. Such a declaration could plant the seeds for a monumental showdown between Roman Reigns and The Rock in the near future.
Overall, the next appearance of The Final Boss in WWE promises to be captivating as he addresses the ongoing developments in the Bloodline saga.
