Of course, the biggest talking point coming out of Bad Blood has to be The Rock returning for the first time since the Raw after WrestleMania 40.

Rock carried his People’s Championship as he walked out in the closing moments, staring down Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes. He didn’t say anything and simply gestured, “1, 2, 3” before his music played again and the PLE ended, leaving it completely open-ended as to his intentions.

When Rock last appeared, he was the Final Boss, his best version of a villain in eons, and he pledged that he would come back for Cody’s Undisputed WWE World Championship. Roman was at Rock’s side in the build to and including at WrestleMania, but his change of heart in siding with Rhodes against the new Bloodline could put him at odds with the Final Boss.

Even in a video posted to his social media accounts after Bad Blood, Rock left his intentions incredibly vague, forcing everyone to speculate for the foreseeable future.
