The WWE SmackDown universe is abuzz with excitement as The Rock’s highly anticipated return has propelled the show to yet another remarkable milestone.
After an absence from the ring, The Rock made a spectacular comeback on the February 2 episode of SmackDown. Initially slated to fill in for Cody Rhodes in a WrestleMania clash against Roman Reigns, The Rock’s involvement took an unexpected turn.
In a surprising twist, The Rock embraced the dark side, aligning himself with the formidable Bloodline faction, led by none other than Roman Reigns. This unexpected alliance came after Cody Rhodes chose to challenge Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship at WrestleMania.
Since his return, The Rock has been a constant presence on SmackDown, gracing three consecutive episodes with his electrifying charisma. With an announced appearance on the upcoming show, anticipation among fans is at an all-time high.
Wrestling pundit Dave Meltzer reports that this week’s SmackDown has once again achieved a sell-out status, largely attributed to The Rock’s immense popularity.
Meltzer shared his insights on social media:
“Smackdown is sold out tomorrow. That’s on Dwayne as the advance before he was announced indicated nothing close.”
This milestone marks the eighth consecutive sold-out episode of WWE television, showcasing The Rock’s enduring star power and his unparalleled ability to captivate audiences across the globe.
