A potential surprise appearance by The Rock on SmackDown could dramatically alter the Undisputed WWE Championship landscape. Following Cody Rhodes’ reported injuries at Saturday Night’s Main Event from Kevin Owens’ Package Piledriver, speculation has emerged about possible title implications.
The Rock’s position on TKO’s board of directors adds intrigue to potential scenarios involving the championship. His last appearance at Bad Blood and previous confrontation with Rhodes after WrestleMania 41 suggest unfinished business between the two competitors.
If Rhodes is forced to vacate the championship due to his injuries, The Rock could leverage his corporate position to stake a claim to the title, citing his WrestleMania 40 victory over The American Nightmare. Alternative scenarios include The Rock facilitating a title transfer to Kevin Owens or pursuing other storylines involving Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa’s Bloodline.
