WWE SmackDown video highlights: The Rock officially joins The Bloodline

On SmackDown last night, the new heel version of The Rock was on full display.

The Rock and Roman Reigns stood side-by-side in the main event segment of last night’s show. Reigns called it a historic night, officially introducing The Rock as a member of The Bloodline.

A throwback to his Hollywood persona of the early 2000s, The Rock insulted the Salt Lake City crowd throughout his promo, calling them inbreds and trailer park trash. The Rock said we haven’t seen this side of him in a while, but it’s a side that’s been here all along. The Rock blamed the fans for ruining what should have been the biggest WrestleMania main event in history between him and Reigns.

The Rock promised that he’s going to do everything in his power to make sure that Cody Rhodes loses to Reigns at WrestleMania 40. Rock said he and Reigns are the most dominant duo in sports and entertainment:

Cody Rhodes, make one thing perfectly clear: The Rock is going to do everything in his power to make sure that you walk out of WrestleMania what you are — which is a loser. Everything in his power to make sure that happens.

Cody, your story is just ending. Our story is just beginning. The Bloodline — the most powerful, dominant duo in sports, in entertainment, and of course in the WWE. If you smell… what The Bloodline is cooking.

While Reigns vs. Rhodes is official for WrestleMania, WWE hasn’t confirmed what The Rock will be doing at the show yet. It appears that a tag match with The Rock & Reigns facing Rhodes & Seth Rollins is being built for night one of WrestleMania.
