Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has finally spoken out on the shocking hospitalization of his cousin, Roman Reigns, sending the WWE Universe into a frenzy with a vow to return for Bloodline vengeance. Reigns, the “Original Tribal Chief,” was sidelined indefinitely with multiple fractured ribs following a brutal attack by Solo Sikoa’s revamped Bloodline faction on the August 28, 2025, episode of Monday Night Raw. The assault, which saw Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu ambush Reigns, culminated in a devastating Samoan Spike and powerbomb through the announce table, leaving the former Undisputed WWE Champion in critical condition. The Rock, absent from WWE since his WrestleMania 40 appearance, took to X to break his silence, declaring, “Family is everything. They crossed a line. I’m coming back, and the Bloodline will pay.” His words have ignited speculation of an explosive return, potentially at Survivor Series: WarGames on November 30.
The Rock’s statement follows months of tension within the Anoa’i family dynasty. After aligning with Reigns as part of The Bloodline at WrestleMania 40, where they defeated Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins on Night 1, The Rock vanished to film The Smashing Machine. In his absence, Sikoa seized control, ousting key members like Paul Heyman and Jimmy Uso while recruiting Tonga and Fatu. Reigns’ return at SummerSlam to confront Sikoa backfired, leading to the vicious attack that hospitalized him. Fans on X, citing posts from accounts like @EliteClubS0B, believe The Rock’s return will spark a Bloodline Civil War, pitting him and Reigns against Sikoa’s faction. The Rock’s history of loyalty to the Anoa’i family, despite not being blood-related, fuels his rage, as he and Reigns share a bond through their grandfathers’ blood oath.
The WWE landscape is primed for chaos. The Rock, dubbed “The Final Boss,” hinted at targeting Rhodes’ Undisputed WWE Championship upon his return, but Reigns’ hospitalization shifts the narrative. Insiders suggest a WarGames match, with The Rock, Reigns, Jimmy Uso, and possibly Jey Uso facing Sikoa’s crew. The Rock’s last WWE stint saw him embrace a heel persona, but his vow for revenge could signal a babyface turn, aligning with fans clamoring for justice. His storied history, including 10 world championships and a WrestleMania 40 main event, ensures his return will be a seismic event.
Reigns’ condition remains uncertain, with Michael Cole confirming on Raw that his recovery timeline is unclear. This uncertainty amplifies The Rock’s resolve, as he aims to restore the family’s honor. Posts on X, like those from @_RomansLegacy, reflect fan excitement, predicting a blockbuster showdown. As WWE builds toward Survivor Series, The Rock’s return promises to reshape the Bloodline storyline, delivering a high-stakes clash that could redefine the Anoa’i legacy and captivate the WWE Universe.
