During Wrestlemania 40’s first main event, Dwayne “The Rock”Johnson teamed up with his cousin Roman Reigns in a standard tag team match. However, Rock wasted no time in altering the rules.
The Bloodline’s two members faced Cody Rhodes and World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins in a supposed traditional tag team match.
Despite the match initially taking place within the confines of the ring, The Rock quickly altered the rules when the action spilled outside and the WWE official started counting out the wrestlers.
As the referee counted, Rock glared at him and warned him that his job was on the line, demanding that he halt the count and let the fight go on.

“Rock warned, “Listen to me. If you don’t follow through, you’re out of a job. Do you comprehend? As you know, The Rock doesn’t mess around.”
WWE fans took notice of this as the match descended into a no-disqualification bout, effectively implementing “Bloodline Rules”for Rhodes and Rollins.
One supporter praised Rock’s spontaneous choice, stating that he is “gradually reviving the attitude era.”
One fan described Rock’s heel run as “epic,”and another user on X noted that the person responsible for censoring expletives for WWE may soon be out of a job.
During the match, just as Rhodes was about to secure a win by pinning Roman Reigns, The Rock suddenly pulled the referee out of the ring, halting the count.
It has been a refreshing change to see The Rock play a villainous role with such dedication, considering he is known for his fan-favorite characters.
Despite having been in the wrestling industry for more than two decades, numerous fans consider “The Final Boss”to be his most impressive character yet.
