The Bloodline isn’t going anywhere before WrestleMania 43. New information points to WWE keeping the family saga alive all the way through its massive Saudi Arabia event, although The Rock’s role in the story is still completely up in the air.
During WrestleVotes Radio, TC revealed that he was told early on that WWE planned to carry The Bloodline storyline through WrestleMania. He stopped short of saying The Rock would be involved, but made it clear that the door remains open.
“From what I was told early on, this Bloodline saga is going all the way through WrestleMania. Now, is that including The Rock? Yet to be seen.”
The Rock is expected to be busy filming during WrestleMania 43 season, making an actual match far from a sure thing. However, Saudi Arabia still wants him involved and is willing to put serious money on the table for an appearance. The obvious story would bring The Rock back into Roman Reigns’ orbit. Their long-teased match never happened at WrestleMania 40, but WWE still has plenty of unfinished business sitting there.
TC believes WWE could reignite the issue by having Reigns declare himself the biggest member of the family, giving The Rock a reason to remind him who placed the Ula Fala around his neck during WWE’s Netflix debut.
“I think you very easily can have Roman start spouting off about how he’s the biggest one in the family and no one can top him. The Rock could easily get pissed off by that and say, ‘Don’t you remember? I’m the one who put the Ula Fala on you. I still have the power to put it on you or take it off you.’”
Even if The Rock doesn’t wrestle, TC suggested WWE could have him choose someone else to fight Reigns on his behalf. That would allow the company to involve The Final Boss without forcing him into a full match during his filming schedule.
“I think you could probably have a match, if you wanted to, with shades of WrestleMania 23, where The Rock maybe selects somebody to wrestle for him.”
The update fits with what Roman Reigns has already said about The Bloodline’s future. During an appearance on the Nightcap podcast, Reigns made it clear that he doesn’t consider The Bloodline another WWE faction that disappears when the creative team moves on.
“I have my family. I got my blood. And that’s real. We’re not a faction. We’re a family. People wonder, ‘How long is this gonna go on?’ Forever, until I’m gone.”
Reigns explained that everything changed when he returned during the pandemic and became the Tribal Chief. Instead of trying to remain one of the boys backstage, he decided to take responsibility for leading WWE.
“There was around a time when I kind of transformed into the Tribal Chief around COVID when I came back. I had to make a choice of, do I want to be one of the boys or do I want to be responsible for the championships? Do I want to pull the wagon? Do I want to make this business better? Do I want to advance the industry?”
That choice also changed the way Reigns views the WWE locker room. He no longer walks into work looking for friends because his entire focus is on business and his family.
“I’m not in the friend business. We’re in the conflict business. We’re in here to sell tickets to get y’all to see us go at it. I’m a businessman, and I’m cordial with the locker room, but I’m not really trying to hang out with anybody.”
WWE now appears ready to back up Reigns’ promise by keeping The Bloodline alive through WrestleMania 43. The only question is whether The Rock finally steps back into the family fight or leaves Roman to carry the saga without him.
