Mark Henry has proposed an intriguing direction for The Rock’s potential return to WWE programming in 2025. Speaking on Busted Open Radio, the Hall of Famer outlined his vision for The Final Boss to assume a more prominent leadership role within The Bloodline.
Henry shared his perspective on how The Rock could establish himself as the ultimate authority figure:
Guys, I really do think that this is the year that The Rock tries to insert himself as not only The Tribal Chief but the High Chief. I think that it would be great that Solo, Roman, all of The Usos, and all of the Fatus, all of the Tongans together would join and do something like a takeover. It would have to be as heels. It would make the rest of the wrestling world babyfaces.
The Hall of Famer elaborated on the potential dynamic within the expanded faction:

At the end, you have to have guys do what they’re told to do, or do what they’re kind of led and pushed toward doing. Nonetheless, it would be interesting in pro wrestling to have that dynamic like that where you have a Vince McMahon boss-type character … and it’s been a long time since we’ve had that in pro wrestling.

Drew McIntyre discussed his recent loss to Jey Uso during the Raw on Netflix debut in an interview with Alex McCarthy of The Daily Mail. McIntyre addressed the environmental conditions during their singles match.
I wasn’t joking when I said I had a contact high. It’s an LA thing. In general, the place just reeks of a certain substance. And then during his entrance, very publicly, having a good old time with old Travis Scott and that’s not my thing, and that 100 percent is a thing, contact high. I’m not making excuses, I’m just stating facts.
McIntyre commented on the match outcome against Uso:
He got a quick one. I’m not somebody that’s going to spend the truth and make too many excuses. I’m annoyed about the constant smell of you know what in LA while I’m trying to wrestle, but I beat him 10 times in a row. That’s the first time he’s beaten me. It was a quick one. It was out of nowhere. It was a cheap one. Does it make him better than me? Absolutely not. Does it stop my goals going forward? Absolutely not. It just motivates me more.

McIntyre praised Punk’s professionalism during their feud, stating that despite his aggressive social media tactics, Punk remained composed. “I went at him and went at him,” McIntyre said. “And I’ve done that with a couple of people, and they have got a boo-boo face. Not that I care, but he didn’t. He ate it like a man and then came back with what he had to say. So I’ll give him that.”
Roman Reigns defeated Solo Sikoa in a Tribal Combat match on WWE RAW’s Netflix debut, reclaiming the Ula Fala and establishing himself as the Only Tribal Chief. Following this victory, Reigns announced his entry into the 2025 Royal Rumble match, targeting the Undisputed WWE Championship.
WWE released promotional material for Royal Rumble 2025 featuring a countdown display of numbers one, two, and three. Observers have connected this imagery to The Rock’s appearance at Bad Blood 2024, where he performed a three-count gesture during interactions with Roman Reigns, Cody Rhodes, and Jimmy Uso.
The Rock previously addressed WrestleMania 41 speculation during RAW’s Netflix debut, where he reconciled with Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns. Sources suggest The Rock may enter the 2025 Royal Rumble match despite this reconciliation.
