We are hours away from the highly anticipated debut episode of WWE RAW on Netflix, which will witness The Rock make his return to television. A stacked card for the show is set to feature a massive Tribal Combat between Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa amid their storied rivalry over the Ula Fala and the title of "The Tribal Chief."

This storyline has seen the old Bloodline reunite and the new Bloodline run a rampage. But the assured arrival of The Great One will bring its fair share of conflicts and betrayals. Here, we look at five ways in which The Rock can interfere with the Tribal Combat between Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa on WWE RAW's Netflix debut.


#1 The Rock helps Solo Sikoa win the Tribal Combat

Many will go into the show assured of Roman Reigns' victory over Solo Sikoa. While there are arguments that the latter needs this win more, it is still unfathomable that Sikoa would pick up a clean victory. Onlookers would expect Jacob Fatu to help Sikoa. However, The Rock could choose to help orchestrate Roman Reigns' loss all by himself by attacking the Original Tribal Chief for his proclamations.

The potential angle would directly set up a massive clash between the two megastars at WrestleMania unless The People's Champ wants to go after a title.


#2 The Rock prevents The Usos from helping Roman Reigns

Fans may see The Rock refrain from directly interfering with the match. Instead, he could plan to show neutrality in the beginning and only reveal his intentions in the final moments of the bout. The audience may see him prevent The Usos or Sami Zayn from attacking the members of The Bloodline, even if it's Tama Tonga and Jacob Fatu who start the brawl.

This would fetch deafening cheers from fans in the audience while also distracting Roman Reigns long enough for Solo Sikoa to capitalize. Otherwise, it could force Reigns to pick up a victory against all odds and establish himself as the undisputed Tribal Chief before an inevitable feud with The Final Boss.


#3 The Rock reveals his secret ploy in The Bloodline saga

The Rock attacking Roman Reigns or Solo Sikoa to dictate the outcome is a compelling but obvious prediction for his appearance on WWE RAW tonight. He is expected to make his presence known during the Tribal Combat and can do so by unveiling his secret allegiance.

Instead of choosing between Sikoa and Reigns, The People's Champion could reveal he set up Jacob Fatu to join Sikoa's Bloodline and sabotage him from the inside so he gets a clear shot at Reigns upon return. Otherwise, he could reveal a catastrophic betrayal by showcasing a secret alliance with Paul Heyman, taking away Reigns' most trusted member of The Bloodline and leaving him in despair.


#4 The Rock confronts Roman Reigns after the Tribal Combat

The People's Champ labeled himself High Chief Seiuli while announcing his appearance for RAW's debut episode on Netflix. He has previously insinuated that he is the "Head of the Table," and The Final Boss may choose to make a statement if the Tribal Combat does, in fact, crown a legitimate Tribal Chief.

If that were Roman Reigns, the two Samoans would stand across from each other, er, with their respective claims of who the 'Chief' is, regardless of its prefix. The abovementioned plot twist of Paul Heyman possibly choosing Rocky over Reigns would add to the electrifying atmosphere.

The crowd is bound to erupt if Heyman shockingly hands over the Ula Fala to The Great One. Thus, the much-awaited episode could end with Roman Reigns being hit with a Rock Bottom before he hits rock bottom.


#5 The Rock repeats history on WWE RAW's debut on Netflix

The Rock's last appearance on WWE RAW saw him meet Cody Rhodes inside the ring and leave immediately after handing over a secret item to the Undisputed WWE Champion, seemingly putting the American Nightmare on notice. The Great One could pull off something similar on the red brand this week.

If the Tribal Combat main events the show, Rocky may appear in the final moments and engage in a staredown with Roman Reigns before the show goes off the air. This would create suspense, and fans would speculate about what would come next, as different theories originate from a well-executed cliffhanger.

Regardless of what happens, it would be exciting to see how the dynamics change within The Bloodline when the High Chief Seiuli arrives on WWE RAW.
