The fallout episode of WWE SmackDown after Bad Blood 2024 is expected to be an exciting show because it will feature the potential twists and turns following The Rock's grand return. The Final Boss sent a cryptic message to Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes after his surprise appearance at the event in Atlanta.
The rivalry between The Bloodline and Roman Reigns, Cody Rhodes, and Jimmy Uso will probably continue as well. It will be interesting to see which side The Rock will take if he shows up on SmackDown tonight.
So, without further ado, let's take a look at five things The Rock could do on WWE SmackDown tonight.
#5. The Rock could make Roman Reigns vs. Cody Rhodes official with a huge stipulation
The Rock is a board member of TKO Group Holdings, so he can misuse his power if he wants to. He tried to do so on the Road to WrestleMania XL, but WWE Chief Content Officer Triple H did not let that happen.
The Final Boss may cause tension between Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes. He could give his cousin a title match against The American Nightmare on an upcoming episode of SmackDown and set the stipulation that if The Original Tribal Chief loses, he will not be able to challenge for Cody's title as long as the latter is champion.
He could then order The Bloodline to interfere in the title match and cause a disqualification finish. This way, The Rock could remove Roman from his path and be the only main contender for the Undisputed WWE Championship.
#4. The Rock could hold a Tribal Court on WWE SmackDown
The situation within The Bloodline has been tense since the dispute between Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa over the status of The Tribal Chief began.
Since The Rock is the eldest out of them all, he could hold a Tribal Court to resolve the issues between his cousins. He may suggest they face each other in a match for the Ula Fala at Crown Jewel 2024 or an upcoming episode of SmackDown, and could even become the Special Guest Referee for it.
#3. The Rock could become the new Tribal Chief
The Rock was the only member of The Bloodline who did not suffer a loss at WrestleMania XL.
Roman Reigns lost his title and his position as The Tribal Chief immediately after The Show of Shows. On the other hand, Solo Sikoa has not been able to keep things in control since taking over The Bloodline.
To stabilize things within his family, The Final Boss could become the new Tribal Chief on SmackDown tonight. He could even reveal that he was the one who gave Sikoa the power in his absence.
Everyone in The Bloodline could acknowledge The Great One tonight. Roman Reigns and Jimmy Uso would obviously refuse to do so if they get called out, leading to the need for them to get back together with Jey Uso and Sami Zayn.
#2. A surprise attack on Cody Rhodes could happen on SmackDown
Before going on a hiatus, The Rock told Cody Rhodes that their story was just beginning. He subtly hinted at coming after the Undisputed WWE Champion at Bad Blood 2024 and made it clear in an Instagram live video after the show that he hates The American Nightmare.
The Bloodline attacked Rhodes after Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu lost against him and Roman Reigns. They failed at Bad Blood 2024, so they will likely come after him again on SmackDown tonight.
It is possible that Rhodes faces Fatu in the main event tonight, or teams up with Reigns and Jimmy Uso to take on The Bloodline.
The Rock could make a surprise appearance during the closing moments of SmackDown and attack The American Nightmare. If Reigns and Uso get involved, The Final Boss could get physical with them as well.
#1. The Rock could bring Haku as his Wiseman and Hikuleo as his Enforcer
The Bloodline storyline keeps getting deeper with time. It may involve more Samoans and Tongans after the return of The Rock.
The group still needs a Wiseman, who may have been waiting to show up with the real Tribal Chief. There is a possibility that The Rock introduces the legendary Haku as his Special Counsel on SmackDown after revealing himself as Solo Sikoa's Tribal Chief.
Haku, whom The Final Boss considers his uncle, joining The Bloodline would make sense given the fact that his sons, Tama Tonga & Tonga Loa, are part of the group.
Hikuleo, who is also Haku's son, could debut on SmackDown as The Rock's Enforcer. The 6 foot 8 inches giant reportedly signed with WWE in the summer. With a Bloodline Civil War on the horizon, it would be the right time for him to join his brothers.
