The Rock to introduce debuting WWE star as the new member of The Bloodline on SmackDown? Possibility explored

The Rock came back to WWE at Bad Blood and his return shook things up in The Bloodline civil war. The Final Boss was on a hiatus for six months, but his comeback has created a new angle in his feud with Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns.

Many expect the WWE Legend to show up for the Survivor Series: WarGames Premium Live Event on November 30th, leading The Bloodline 2.0 against The Original Tribal Chief.

Still, it is unclear who will be part of the faction's new version once The Rock takes over. New Tribal Chief Solo Sikoa might need to take a step back, but instead of being The Rock's Enforcer, he might turn babyface and reunite with Roman Reigns. On this occasion, The Final Boss will be in need of a replacement and may find it in Hikuleo.

Hikuleo has signed with WWE and has been linked to a move to the main roster. However, recent reports suggest that he has joined the NXT roster and will make his debut there soon.

Still, if the WWE legend is in need of an additional member in The Bloodline 2.0, he could introduce Hikuleo as the faction's new member. For this to happen, though, there has to be a confrontation between The Final Boss and Solo Sikoa so that the latter is forced to leave The Bloodline.

WWE could plan a Triple Threat Match at WrestleMania 41 featuring The Rock

Following his WWE return, fans expect The Rock to work the top Premium Live Events like Survivor Series, Royal Rumble, and WrestleMania 41. There has already been speculation about what the Final Boss could do on the Grandest Stage of Them All next year.

Even though it is still too early to predict, a move the WWE legend made upon his return could be proof that there will be a Triple Threat Match where Cody Rhodes puts his Undisputed WWE Championship on the line against Roman Reigns and The Final Boss at 'Mania.

"My thought is that it signifies that’s where we’re going for WrestleMania – 1, 2, 3 as in Triple Threat Match. I can tell you that’s on the table but I’m not sure if it’s finalized in any way. It’s October, so I doubt it’s been finalized but the idea is being floated and I think it makes sense for the company as a whole just to get those three guys in one ring at one time and push the story to the moon," WrestleVotes reports.

A Triple Threat Match would allow WWE to proceed with a Cody Rhodes vs. The Rock match at SummerSlam and a match between the Original Tribal Chief and The Final Boss at WrestleMania 42 in 2026.
