The Rock delivered two significant announcements on SmackDown, revealing WrestleMania 42 will take place at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans. He then addressed Cody Rhodes, proposing that the Undisputed WWE Champion “become his champion”.
Current storyline developments suggest this proposal could lead to a revamped version of The Authority, drawing parallels to the faction previously led by Triple H.
The Rock’s position on TKO’s Board of Directors adds corporate legitimacy to this potential direction.
The trajectory indicates Rhodes’ response at Elimination Chamber could establish a new power dynamic within WWE, particularly given The Rock’s corporate influence. This development parallels The Authority’s past model of combining corporate power with championship influence.
Obviously, it’s all speculative at this point, but a strong possibility given the direction the storyline is taking.
