WWE SmackDown Results 3/1 - The Kabuki Warriors Vs. Bayley & Dakota Kai, The Bloodline Appears

Reigns tells Glendale to acknowledge him, then amends his statement when he deems the crowd as being too quiet and tells Phoenix to acknowledge him. He gives them a third shot after deeming them too quiet once more, and tells Heyman to fire up the jet. He says they're done as the result of still being too quiet and looks to leave, but Heyman reminds Reigns that they still have some business to take care of. Heyman then says The Rock will be coming up next after the break.

Back from the break, The Rock's music hits and he makes his way down to the ring. The Rock questions if fans really want to boo him, and says he has some good news before he drops some gospel on the people. He rags on Glendale and Phoenix, then says the lives of the fans finally have meaning as they sit and look at greatness. He says he's finally come back to Arizona, and says his body is covered in chills. He says he and the rest of The Bloodline are in a good mood because for the first time in decades, professional wrestling is cool, exciting, and electrifying. He says tonight and the next few weeks will be sold out audiences because of The Bloodline, and the group has made wrestling cool again.

The Rock points out that Cody Rhodes is nowhere to be found, and says if Rhodes wants to run his mouth and challenge him to a match, that doesn't matter because he won't face him. He says Rhodes won't just go one-on-one with him simply because he wants to, and calls him an idiot for thinking he can face him in singles competition. He says Rhodes should be worrying about challenging Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship at WrestleMania, and says he and The Bloodline have a counter offer for Rhodes' challenge. He then challenges him and "the walking clown emoji" Seth "Freakin" Rollins to a tag team match at Night One of WrestleMania, and should they win, the rest of The Bloodline will be barred from ringside during Rhodes and Reigns' WrestleMania match at Night Two. He says that if Rhodes and Rollins lose, then the match becomes Bloodline rules, and The Bloodline can do anything they want during the match.

The Rock then dares Rhodes and Rollins to show their face next week to answer their challenge, and warns them about what will happen if they choose not to accept. He says no one can stop him, and says Rhodes' story will be ended by him and Reigns tragically. He looks to say his signature catchphrase, but Reigns stops him and tells The Rock he needs something from him. He says he'll do anything for his family, but he needs The Rock to do one thing: acknowledge him.

The Rock removes his sunglasses and stares down Reigns. He then acknowledges him as his "Tribal Chief", and offers him his hand. Reigns shakes it and the pair hug as the crowd lets him know that he sold out, and The Rock says this is family. He says they would do anything for family.

We then head backstage and see Randy Orton get into a confrontation with Austin Theory and Grayson Waller.
