The Rock made a WWE comeback at Day 1, sparking speculation about a potential storyline with Roman Reigns. Discussions have arisen regarding whether the match will take place next month at Elimination Chamber in Australia or if it will instead headline WrestleMania 40 in Philadelphia.## The reality is that, in WWE, everything and everyone play second fiddle to The Rock due to his immense global stardom.## Following his Raw appearance, The Rock has consistently been sharing moments with photo drops. Recently, he shared backstage photos showing him interacting with the current WWE World Women's Champion, Rhea Ripley, and Cathy Kelley for an interview.## Accompanying the photos, The Rock heaped immense praise on the champion, referring to her as a badass. ## "She wears black. I love black. She’s a bad ass. And I got famous for wearing a fanny pack. We had fun f*cking around backstage 😈🥃 Love, appreciate and respect you champ @rhearipley_wwe - thanks for trusting me with your title, keep kickin’ ass and raising the bar 🖤💪🏾 Big shout to @cathykelley for being a total pro and having fun 🎤 👊🏾." He wrote. ## Despite the rampant WrestleMania rumors involving The Rock, it appears that we are no closer to officially confirming the match. Currently, The Rock has only made a playful jab at Roman Reigns, suggesting that he should be the one seated at the head of the table.## In a discussion on Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer observed that The Rock might consider agreeing to a match in Saudi Arabia instead. The reluctance in Hollywood to work in the controversial Kingdom has diminished, and if the financial incentives align, The Rock might be inclined to accept the opportunity. ## View this post on Instagram A post shared by Dwayne Johnson (@therock) ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...

At the upcoming Royal Rumble, Roman Reigns, the reigning Undisputed WWE Universal Champion, will defend his title in a challenging Fatal 4-Way Match against formidable opponents – Randy Orton, AJ Styles, and LA Knight. ## Initially, Knight, Styles, and Orton engaged in a fierce Triple Threat Match to determine the contender who would face Reigns in a one-on-one showdown at the Royal Rumble.

During WWE SmackDown New Year's Revolution, Paul Heyman, the outspoken advocate for the Universal Champion Roman Reigns, addressed the recent return of Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson to WWE and his subtle reference to Reigns. ## Roman Reigns chose to remain silent during the episode, but Paul Heyman was ready to share his perspective on The Rock's mention of the Head of the Table. According to Heyman, The Rock invoked Roman Reigns' name because he aspires to sit at the head of the table. However, Heyman emphasized that the only way to earn that seat is to be invited to a dinner of relevancy, a privilege The Rock has not been extended and will not be in the future. Heyman dismissed The Rock's intentions, stating that he was merely seeking to make headlines.## In his trademark style, Heyman delivered a witty remark about going viral, asserting that the only two ways are to date Taylor Swift or call out Roman Reigns. The reference to Reigns as the key to achieving notoriety in the WWE landscape is a testament to the Universal Champion's dominant position. Heyman highlighted that various superstars, including John Cena, Brock Lesnar, Cody Rhodes, and the recently returned CM Punk, have sought relevance through Roman Reigns.## Acknowledging Punk's return, Heyman humorously detailed the evolution of their relationship from best friends to advocate and, finally, to wise man.## Looking ahead to the upcoming match between LA Knight, AJ Styles, and Randy Orton, Heyman confidently declared that no matter who emerges victorious, Roman Reigns is poised to "smash" them at the WWE Royal Rumble.

The WWE landscape witnessed the return of the formidable tag team, Authors of Pain (Rezar & Akam), during the New Year's Revolution edition of WWE SmackDown. Their reemergence was marked by a calculated assault on Bobby Lashley and The Street Profits (Montez Ford & Angelo Dawkins).## Karrion Kross, accompanied by the returning Paul Ellering, joined forces with AOP in this unexpected alliance. AOP's devastating Super Collider incapacitated The Street Profits, while Kross asserted his dominance by laying out Bobby Lashley. ## The groundwork for this alliance was laid on the December 22 episode of WWE SmackDown when Kross cryptically hinted at the need for "authors" to craft his grand proclamation.## It's noteworthy that Authors of Pain, former NXT and WWE Raw Tag Team Champions, were released by WWE in September 2020. However, reports from Fightful Select indicated that they were present at the WWE Performance Center in August 2022 and had officially re-signed before the onset of 2023. Their return signals a renewed chapter in their WWE journey, promising to bring a heightened level of intensity and competition to the tag team division.## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...
