The Rock could disrupt Roman Reigns vs. Solo Sikoa Tribal Combat match

The Rock’s previous altercation with Cody Rhodes may influence the outcome of the highly anticipated Netflix RAW debut match between Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa.

The upcoming January 6 Netflix premiere of RAW will feature a decisive Tribal Combat match between Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa. The stakes are high as both competitors vie for the position of Tribal Chief, with their respective factions barred from ringside involvement.

Despite the stipulation for a one-on-one encounter, potential interference looms. The Rock, who has been absent from WWE programming since Bad Blood in September, could make an impactful return given the match’s significance to the Samoan dynasty.

The People’s Champion’s potential involvement stems from unresolved tensions. Before his departure in April, The Rock made a direct promise to Cody Rhodes regarding their unfinished business. The recent alliance between Reigns and Rhodes might serve as a catalyst for The Rock’s intervention, particularly given his strong family ties to the situation.

Wrestling veteran analyzes potential match outcome

Jim Cornette recently shared his insights on the Jim Cornette Experience podcast regarding the upcoming clash between Reigns and Sikoa.

The wrestling veteran examined the creative challenges in booking the match’s conclusion.

We got Roman Reigns and Paul Heyman going not only now for an Emmy but also potentially an award in cinematography… They’ve been fooling us for about three years now, so maybe Roman gets beat on this one, but maybe he gets beat in such a way… It would be hard to figure out a way to keep Solo scary if he just got beat at Survivor Series and now he gets beat on this widely watched special, because then, if you do the heat afterward, you’re just doing the same thing.
