AceShowbiz - Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson shocked audiences at WrestleMania 40 Night One, returning to the ring for the first time since 2016. Teaming up with Roman Reigns, The Rock faced Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins in a captivating tag team match that ended with a win for the legendary duo.
The match kicked off with a grand entrance by The Rock, whose presence electrified the crowd. After early dominance by Rollins and Reigns, Cody tagged in and squared off against The Rock. Despite initial setbacks, Rhodes rallied and, along with Rollins, gained control.
However, chaos ensued when the teams broke down into separate brawls, spilling outside the ropes. The Rock threatened the referee, declaring that he would be fired if he counted anyone out. This marked a significant twist in the match, adding another layer of intensity.
As the action progressed, The Rock's connection with the crowd was evident. He repeatedly taunted Rhodes' family, who were seated ringside, and used his weight as a TKO board member to capitalize on rule loopholes.
Despite a furious rally by Rhodes, who slapped The Rock and broke free from a sharpshooter, The People's Champion secured the victory with his signature Rock Bottom and People's Elbow.
The win came with serious stakes. As per the match stipulation, Cody Rhodes' title match against Reigns on Night Two of WrestleMania will now be contested under Bloodline Rules. This development adds an intriguing twist to the already highly anticipated matchup.
Despite the result, the match showcased exceptional athleticism, storytelling, and crowd engagement. The Rock's return to the ring was a testament to his enduring legacy, while the Bloodline Rules stipulation has set the stage for an even more intense confrontation between Rhodes and Reigns.
