The wrestling world is abuzz because The People's Champion, The Rock, has shockingly returned. His return at WWE's Bad Blood may have far-reaching effects for the biggest storylines in WWE involving Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes. Survivor Series 2024 is just a few weeks away, and fans want to know if The Great One will return to wrestling action. Maybe this sets up an epic confrontation at one of WWE's marquee shows? Here are the top five reasons for The Rock to wrestle at Survivor Series 2024.
1. Blockbuster Return at Bad Blood PLE
The Rock finally reappeared in WWE after WrestleMania 40. The man was not a focal character in the storyline there but came back to shock the world at the Bad Blood event in Atlanta. Indeed, the moment his entrance music hit when Roman Reigns, Cody Rhodes, and Jimmy Uso were standing in the ring, the crowds went manic. This return seems to be more than a cameo, and it might even point out that The Rock will play an important part in the increasing saga of Bloodline.
His return at such a crucial time, just weeks before Survivor Series, suggests that WWE has much bigger plans for the legendary superstar. Given the ongoing bloodbath in Bloodline Civil War, his involvement might not be merely symbolic. Will he get into the ring to challenge his cousin, Roman Reigns, or align himself with Cody Rhodes? Either way, it looks like the Survivor Series could very well be where the next chapter unfolds.
2. The Rock’s Mysterious Hand Gestures
The Rock had some interesting hand gestures towards Roman Reigns, Cody Rhodes, and Jimmy Uso when he returned. Although these gestures haven't explained anything so far, it could be a possible indicator of a future match.
The Rock's silent body language might be hinting towards a showdown at Survivor Series where he takes the side of one of them or faces one of them in the ring. This cryptic moment adds interest to his future in WWE.
3. Tension with Roman Reigns
The tension between The Rock and Roman Reigns has been building for years. In his last appearance, the issue was because The Rock was upset with Roman's dominance and leadership of The Bloodline. Given that Cody Rhodes is now being goaded and challenged Roman for supremacy, a return seems timed to throw a wrench into The Tribal Chief's plans. Are we seeing a three-way feud building for Survivor Series? That can easily add up to an epic Cousins' clash of rock-smashing proportions.
With part of the tradition featuring WarGames matches taking place at Survivor Series, it's entirely possible that The Rock can join a team that looks to challenge Roman and his reassembled Bloodline members, leading to a family showdown inside the steel cage.
4. Solo Sikoa’s Betrayal: A Sign of The Rock’s Influence?
Solo Sikoa's betraying Roman Reigns after WrestleMania can be considered the twist for the Bloodline saga. Fans can be of the idea that The Rock might be behind the scenes where he planned everything that went to Solo so that the defection occurred as such and thus the weakening on Roman's family hold.
If so, this would mean that The Rock is preparing himself and that he is getting ready to take out into war in Survivor Series 2024 that something, an old clash with a new one-a more dramatically launching a battle between families.
5. Survivor Series: A Perfect Stage for The Rock’s Return
Survivor Series is one of the WWE's "Big Four" Premium Live Events and, of course, the company has become accustomed to dishing out shocking returns as well as matches at their premium events. From the spectacular return of CM Punk at Royal Rumble to the final match of The Rock at WrestleMania 40,
WWE has also trended into making memorable memories at its flagship shows. Survival will soon be coming to town, and it does seem like the best stop for The Rock's return and return to the ring, especially with a war games on the line.
The Survivor Series is one of WWE's marquee events that have had their fair share of historical moments. Including the Rock in the lineup for 2024 would make this just another monumental instance.
