It was noted that The Rock is heavily rumored to face Rhodes or Reigns or both of them in a triple threat match at WrestleMania 41 but due to his conflicting schedule, he’s not given any word to the WWE officials regarding his involvement in a match. Meltzer also revealed how some of the old-school fans didn’t like his return his return at Bad Blood,
“Some with old school mentalities didn’t like the idea that he stole the show and it‘s not building to a match. ‘He’s not going to be able to do Mania. He already gave word that he wouldn’t be able to do that match’ [a source said] when asked bout Rock vs. Reigns vs. Rhodes.”
After Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns defeated Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu in the main event of Bad Blood, The Rock appeared at the very end of the PLE to exchange intense glances with both Rhodes and Reigns. Further footage also hinted at a potential alliance for him with the new version of Bloodline. In that case, Rhodes and Reigns will organically become his enemies, indicating an organic build to a future feud.
