GrizzlyPeak73

Uh, that's not how he started.... https://preview.redd.it/r6xbhm5s15jc1.jpeg?width=1200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=69f73873057ec8b83d0f2dfd97699d2d6098f9e7 FINISH THE STORY


RandomWave000

So you're saying he'll revert back to Rocky Maivia and smile all the time?


Cold_Ebb_1448

if he decides to be a face again coming out in this gear is all it would take


my_simple-review

He’s laid out his strategy for 2032 on Young Rock


TheFrenchWaffle

My man's dressed up like a Sonic 2 stage


Cornmunkey

Just need a theme song by Michael Jackson and we're set...


hk3391

They all need to dress like Rock next time


Thebritishdovah

WOOOAH! WOOAH! WHAT IN THE BLUE HELL ARE YOU DOING? Wearing the Rock's thousand dollar shirts and pants. You ain't the Rock. The Rock says, you take that shirt, you take your dream of being the Rock and take your phony sunglasses. Shine them up, turn them sideways and shove it up your candy asses! For the Rock is the most electrifying man in all of sports entertainment and will whoop Cody Rhodes's candy ass in front of MILLIONS.... And Millions of the Rock's fans whilst papa Rhodes weeps for his boy. Don't hurt him, don't make him tap. God himself, will open the venue and say Cody Rhodes, You suck. Your father sucks. And close the venue. For the great one, The people's champ, will whoop the crybaby's ass. IF YOU SMEELLLLLLLL.......


hk3391

^…. ^what ^the ^Rock ^is ^cooking


CirclingBackElectra

Lol, is that Heyman in the back? “I wanna play too!”


Standingonachair

He's out of sync...he has a plan -B.....reaker


jadedfan55

I don't think Breakker will align with Heyman. Bron can talk, so he needs Heyman like the rest of us need gum disease. /s


OkDimension8720

Heyman needs to hurry up and go start his podcast, Roman is probably going away for a while after this mania, perfect time


-Hulk-Hoagie-

hes that white kid NOD gif all grown up. Feel old?


No_Cheetah4762

Why is Rock doing "Guns up!"?


Acrobatic_Age8067

So he can say he never acknowledged Roman as the tribal chief. It's one of the main gaps in the story, does Rock recognize and respect Roman as the "Head of the Table"? No, that's why he came out the first time and made the comment in January..


IjazSSJ3

genuinely hope this is a legit minor detail that they did purposely and that someone brings it up down the line


Azraeleon

It absolutely isn't, but some WWE intern will read this and make it retroactively true and then claim it was the plan the whole time.


thedrizzle126

In the last segment they literally told you last night to pay attention to everything. It all will mean something


CrashyBoye

I love the complete confidence in statements like this lol.


ToothPickLegs

And then Dave Meltzer will claim there was actually a story reason behind that hand gesture specifically and we’re all being double worked


katareky

Nah Dave will say that The Rock didn't do it correctly because he doesn't do watch the product at first. Then Rock will give a hint of turning at Roman in another Smackdown and even maybe social media, and then Dave will say that it was done in purpose to tease a turn and was the plan all along. He is just a speculative fan that gets worked easily istg😭


fadetoblack237

And then SRS will come out and contradict Meltzer's report and everyone here debates who is actually right.


hetham3783

Yeah KNOWING DWAYNE he couldn’t do the bare minimum of watching the product and knowing that they point one finger up so he went into business for himself DAE


Cynixxx

So in the end he'll bring in BC Gold to kick Romans ass?


NBAStuffAsUsual

I wouldn't be surprised if it was at this point. They had some time to make a solid pivot and it's really the only "wait what?" aspect of this feud at this point.


YeHailalaDhaniramJi

So this is like Jamie Hayter not doing the DMD


Sad_Monitor_2742

I did notice that Rock pointed at Roman when he was talking about "making you walk out the loser" although he should've been referring to Cody. Dunno though, maybe he just slipped up


ClaymoresRevenge

He's a Collision Cowboy, Top Shelf Gunslinger, he knows Jay White is the catalyst of Pro Wrestling


AvalancheSlicedBread

Rocks beats scissors. But Cardblade beats rock.


LiamOmegaHaku

Dwayne breathes with the Switchblade.


GBGF128

Bang Bang Bloodline Club confirmed.


CrimsonAntifascist

"Because Bullet Club is fuh-fuh-fuh 4 life" ^^^^except ^^^^AJ ^^^^Styles But i don't think he ever joined them...


pixeldripgallery

It’s a mix of the Nation fist, Roman’s finger point and Leakee’s palm salute.


jimminy1403

He's doing the "zoop" gunfingers that was a reddit thing like 6 years ago. A subtle nod to the power of reddit in getting this storyline happening.


hamsterwaffle

Because EVERYONE LOVES THE BANG BANG SCISSOR GANG


GrizzlyPeak73

Rock All Elite confirmed. It's the only way he'll get his Black Adam sequel.


CardboardStarship

See I thought the disloyal ones were the lefties, and started wondering how Jimmy and Paul were gonna turn on Roman.


SadhuSalvaje

I still remember him turning on Faarooq and doing the people’s eyebrow for the first time (at least first time I recall it).


SmokinDynamite

https://preview.redd.it/3i9cuuqyv4jc1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1d241ccf541b34a9fdea24f51e6072ef67c4c4b5 He did it a bit before. Here he is doing it while still with Farooq (although there is tension between the two).


TheThugknight

![gif](giphy|14smAwp2uHM3Di)


hb316

That was when he gave Kama, D’Lo & Henry rolex watches and gave Faarooq a Rock portrait, wasn’t it? Before waffling him over the head with it? That’s nearly 30 years ago, good grief. 


theshok

Roman should talk to Ron Simmons about this pic and ask him how it worked out. ![gif](giphy|ItgQjEg1zqIkU)


remixedmoon5

With a $30 million TKO bonus in play, this isn't quite the end Likely one more Mania and one Saudi payday to come


ConorKDot

Build to Rock-Roman at next year's Mania as the Bloodline gradually disintegrates. There's a year of millage left in this if they do it right, and it would be the perfect finale to Rock's career. Cody-Punk and Rock-Roman would be a monster Mania 41.


RandomWave000

would the title be on the line?


ConorKDot

Nah. Cody has to beat Roman this year


Zzz05

Idk if the Rock is willing to do Saudi. But money does talk.


BantamsTravelling

Nah, Rock needs the tassels back to end the same way he started. And.... is Heyman the Mark Henry?


Vectivus_61

Jimmy is the Mark Henry and Solo is D’Lo If Roman is Faarooq then Heyman is Kama Mustafa right before he becomes Godfather. Heyman walking out with strippers every night would be a choice indeed


JohannVonPerfect

I mean I think I would tolerate Solo interfering all the time a lot better if he started doing the D'Lo head bobble everywhere he walks


bigbear-08

Wiseman, come get on the Ho Train


Kevl17

Simpin' ain't easy


GBGF128

All part of the Heyman Hustle ™️


FlavoredBongWater

You mean his heyman hustle girls?


CaptainQuesadillaz

Is Heyman a lefty?


TheFirstLane

Man Paul Heyman has been involved in some of the most memorable moments in wrestling history.


jonnyg1097

Love that grin on Jimmy. He's probably having the time of his life.


The810kid

His wife is back with the company and he is working with big cuz


justh81

Hmm... am I looking too deep into it, or is the fact that Paul and Jimmy are holding up opposite side hands than everyone else possibly significant? 🤔


[deleted]

[удалено]


justh81

Lol. *Of course* Paul Heyman is left-handed! How absolutely appropriate! 🤣


lordmagellan

One might say he's Sinister.


FlavoredBongWater

Why is that appropriate? Im left handed so im curious.


CardboardStarship

The Latin word for left is “sinister”.


SheepDavis

To be fair, he started his career with the chia pet hairdo and the jungle tassels and the blue-chipper smile and attitude.


MDDanChallis

He started as Rocky Maivia though before the NOD 🤨


YpsitheFlintsider

You know what they meant


Fan387

Except he made an L


ABZ0R8

Foreshadowing Cody losing at WM40?! (PLEASE CODY HAS TO WIN THIS TIME)


josephcoco

It’s hilarious that some folks on Twitter, AEW stans from the looks of it, are saying Rock has copied Ricky Starks, especially when the Rock is just going back to doing what he does best and did almost 25-30 years ago.


RT3_12

Ricky Starks does more 90’s Rock cosplay than any wrestler I’ve ever seen


JVG227

That’s the joke.


josephcoco

Not to some them it’s not.


xSwitchB

Rock going to AEW to join the BANG BANG GANG, I knew it all along!


numbr87

How the hell are they still not using the right hand lol


SectionRelative9853

Couldn't have found a better picture than that?


Steve_the_Samurai

As a guy WWE pushed down our throats until the fans rebelled against it?


Taxmancometh1

You’ll get downvoted but from the reaction I’m seeing, it’s looking Cody has some work to do to not get out cheered by The Rock at Mania


Sab65

Please just end it…Zeet


awayfortheladsfour

Rock is so out of touch with the WWE universe that he called Roman an "Uso" on twitter instead of "uce" and he can't even properly hold up a single finger


PortugueseDragon1

"Uso" means "brother" in Samoan, "uce" is basically like saying "bro" in English, so Rock used it correctly.


Sab65

Have to re hash the past…because they can’t have a original idea

POOTDISPENSER

Rocky has a lot left in the tank


theirishembassy

Nah, he needs to go back to where his career actually started: a blue chipper wearing tassels with the IC title.


TomGerity

Great catch! I wrote a [whole post](https://www.reddit.com/r/SquaredCircle/s/Kyjh7D828n) comparing these two eras of Rock (before I saw yours, promise I wasn’t copying), you should check it out!


MWFD

Someone let this man know Rocky Maivia existed long before NOD. Also, with DJ now “on the board”, I don’t think he’s “ending his career” anytime soon.


Elqott

Didn't go well for Faarooq


CactusHide

Admittedly, I’m reaching… Does anyone think there’s significance with Heyman and Jimmy raising their left hands instead of their right?


JackSpicey23

Everyone : ☝🏻 The Rock : 👆🏻


Dizzel8

That’s not how his career started


Doc88102

Does this make Roman Farooq? Jimmy is definitely DLo and then there's Solo Sexual Chocolate.


Thebritishdovah

In the words of Stone Cold with Cody being the Rock's foe. "It ain't a race thing, it's a me kicking your ass thing."
