Before The Rock began this week’s show, we were given a summary of the previous week’s ending on WWE RAW. Dwayne recounted his actions, proudly mentioning how he caused the boy to bleed and split his head open, much to the dismay of the Cody Crybabies.

During his presentation, he shared a video of a young girl tearfully declaring that she would never watch Moana again and another girl who believed Cody had passed away. The Rock expressed how it saddened him and he felt compelled to give them some words of advice: “In certain situations, a person must do what they must when others speak negatively, just as Cody did.”

The Rock declared that professional wrestling had once again become popular and that its ratings had soared, all thanks to him. He further mentioned that he was not alone in this success, as he was accompanied by Roman Reigns and the Bloodline. For Roman, family had always been a top priority and he confidently stated that this WrestleMania would be the easiest of his career, thanks to the Rock.

Roman confidently predicted an easy victory in the tag team match, with the Bloodline Rules ensuring that Reigns retains the title on night two. He expressed gratitude once again to the Final Boss for defeating Cody and declared that he would not be dethroned so easily.

Upon his arrival, Seth Rollins declared that The Rock had overstepped his boundaries during their altercation last week and that the Heavyweight champion was prepared for a battle. Seth insisted on confronting The Rock solo in order to seek retribution, but if he refused, Rollins was willing to face Roman instead and would agree to any conditions set forth.

Last week, The Rock referred to him as a punk and claimed that he caused Cody to suffer from brain damage. Dwayne also acknowledged that Rollins was known for his unpredictable behavior and that they were hesitant to face him, but Solo Sikoa stepped up to accept the challenge in a Bloodline Rules match. Rollins agreed to the match before RAW continued.
