The latest episode of SmackDown revealed an exciting matchup. Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes are set to join forces against the formidable pair of Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu at the upcoming Bad Blood 2024 Premium Live Event.
A significant absence looms as WWE gears up for this mega showdown. That absence is of none other than The Rock. The last time The Final Boss graced the ring was during the fallout episode of RAW after WrestleMania XL, where he issued a stern warning to The American Nightmare, signaling that he would soon be on the hunt for the Undisputed WWE Championship.
Fans have not felt The Final Boss' presence yet, but he might return to Bad Blood 2024 to kickstart his feud with The Original Tribal Chief. Below are three ways The Great One could return at the upcoming Bad Blood PLE.

#3. Solo Sikoa announces The Rock as The Tribal Chief before the match starts
Before the tag team match at Bad Blood 2024 starts, Solo Sikoa could grab the microphone and declare that the real Tribal Chief is not Roman Reigns but a legendary figure they have been following. He might then surprise everyone by bringing out The Rock.
The Final Boss' unexpected entrance could change the game, putting a lot of pressure on the babyface team. The 52-year-old star would shake things up completely, leaving a significant impression on Roman that could throw off his strategy, ultimately leading to a loss against the tough duo of Jacob Fatu and Sikoa.
#2. The Rock interferes when Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes are on the brink of victory
The Rock could make a surprise interference just when Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes are about to secure their win. The Great One's interference, whether through a direct attack or a distraction, would shift the momentum and allow Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu to seize the victory.
The Rock jumping into the mix would not just hand Reigns and Rhodes a loss, but it would also throw a huge curveball into the storyline. This kind of interference could spark a heated rivalry, paving the way for some epic showdowns and cranking up the tension between The Final Boss, Reigns, and Cody Rhodes. It could set the stage for The Rock to clash with Rhodes later or go head-to-head with Roman to prove who the real Head of the Table is. There are tons of possibilities here, so fans would have to sit back and see how it all unfolds.
#1. The Rock returns to congratulate Roman Reigns
After the babyface duo of Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns potentially secures a victory at Bad Blood 2024, The Rock could come out to congratulate The Original Tribal Chief and pass him the Ula Fala as a gesture of respect and acknowledgment. Just when it would look like a heartfelt moment, The Final Boss could pause and give the Ula Fala a cold stare. In a shocking twist, The Rock could then deliver a low blow to Reigns, leaving him doubled over in pain.
The Brahma Bull could follow up with a brutal attack, dismantling Reigns and leaving him vulnerable on the mat. The show could close with The Rock donning the Ula Fala himself, soaking in the boos from the crowd and declaring himself the new Head of the Table.
