Okay, so I finally got around to watching SmackDown from this week. Been meaning to catch up.
Setting the Scene
Settled in, you know, usual routine. Grabbed a drink, kicked back. Was expecting the usual stuff, maybe see how things are building up. Then, bam, things took a turn.
The Rock Shows Up
Out comes The Rock. Place went nuts, obviously. It’s been a while, and well, it’s The Rock. You gotta admit, the guy knows how to make an entrance. The energy just changes completely when he walks out. WWE definitely knows what they’re doing bringing him back – gets people watching, no doubt about it. He’s a huge star, pulls in viewers who might not tune in otherwise.
His Whole Talk
He got on the mic, did his thing. I actually didn’t mind his promo this time around. Felt a bit different, maybe? More serious, less of the usual catchphrases right off the bat. He went on for a while, though. Talked a lot about family, about the Bloodline, about Roman Reigns. Everyone knows they’ve got that deep connection, calling each other cousins even if it’s not blood-blood. It’s been part of the story for ages. He seemed pretty focused on getting involved, maybe stirring things up around the main event scene, especially with WrestleMania coming up.
What It Meant for the Show
Now, here’s something I noticed, or at least heard whispers about. When someone like The Rock takes up a big chunk of time, other stuff gets shuffled. I read somewhere that a couple of matches might have gotten cut or changed because his segment ran long.
- Like, maybe Liv Morgan vs. Naomi didn’t happen as planned?
- And that six-man tag with the new Bloodline guys against Cody and Braun? Maybe that got pushed too.
It makes sense, really. You bring in your biggest star, you give him the time he needs. Sucks for the wrestlers who might have lost their spot for the night, but that’s kinda how it goes when the big guns roll in.
Wrapping Up My Thoughts
So yeah, The Rock’s back on SmackDown. It definitely made the show feel bigger, more unpredictable. Good to see him? Yeah, probably. As long as he adds to the story and doesn’t just overshadow everything else completely. We’ll see where they go with it. For now, it certainly got people talking, myself included. Just sharing what I saw and thought when I watched it all go down.
