Following the electrifying victory of Roman Reigns and the OG Bloodline at WWE Survivor Series in the WarGames match, fans are abuzz with speculation about a major return. Reports suggest that a former Bloodline member, none other than The Rock, may be gearing up for a comeback. According to the betting odds for the Royal Rumble 2025, The Rock is heavily favored to make a splash by winning the Men’s Rumble Match on February 1.

The possibility of The Rock’s return has been a hot topic ever since his surprise appearance at Bad Blood 2024, where he confronted Roman Reigns, Cody Rhodes, and Jimmy Uso. While fans eagerly await his return, opinions differ on his potential role. Some believe The Rock could become entangled in the ongoing Bloodline storyline, while others speculate he may set his sights on Cody Rhodes’ Undisputed WWE Championship.

With the Royal Rumble just weeks away, excitement is building. Betting odds from BetOnline show The Rock as a leading favorite to win the Men’s Rumble Match, igniting debates about his potential impact on the event. However, the Rumble is known for its unpredictability, and other big names, including John Cena, remain strong contenders.

Amid the mounting speculation, wrestling veteran Mark Henry shared his thoughts on Busted Open Radio, pitching an intriguing angle for The Rock’s return. Henry suggested that The Rock could take on the role of a “taskmaster” within the Bloodline saga. He proposed a scenario where The Rock confronts Roman Reigns, challenging his authority as Tribal Chief and positioning himself as the superior High Chief.

Henry elaborated: “I was the guy that wanted to see The Rock show up [at Survivor Series] and go, ‘Well, so, you’re the Tribal Chief. Well, the Tribal Chief is beneath who I am, which is the High Chief.’ And there be some task, thrown your way. Make The Rock, the ‘taskmaster.’”

Given the enormous buzz surrounding The Rock’s potential return, WWE is likely to capitalize on the excitement and deliver a storyline that lives up to fans’ expectations. Whether it’s the Rumble victory or the culmination of a Bloodline drama, all eyes are on The Brahma Bull’s next move.
