2025 WWE Predictions for The Rock & The Bloodline | The Master's Class | Busted Open

[@adam-yk6yd]

The High Chief Rocky Maivia - part Mr McMahon, part Thanos, part corporate Rock. The wrestling world doesn’t stand a chance

[@christopherruggles887]

The Rock will not be champion in 2025 he pick Hollywood over pro wrestling.He use wrestling to get to Hollywood,he won't wrestle full time again.If he was the true "Final Boss"He would be on WWE television every week not once every few months.

[@Hialeahsown]

The High Chief idea is dope…i think weve been heading that way but id like to see a Thanos end game type even where all the belt go to the high chief and his counsel and build to a mania where “The Avengers” win the day.

[@Jeff_Pryce]

No, no belts. We don’t need a part-time champion again. That needs to stay dead with the Vince McMahon era. Otherwise, yes, that is a good idea. Just without the belts.

[@djplaymaker5050]

End game was WM40...I see more of a deadpool situation

[@djplaymaker5050]

Or black panther

[@tqueen7131]

Hes the real life High Chief has been for years

[@Blackrain7920]

No it's not just another version of NWO

[@Chris_C12]

Zilla already has heat against Solo because he stole his father's finisher!

[@ggguNeck]

Final Boss Rock is pretty much a more badass version of Mr. McMahon because unlike the attitude era he isn't that boss that you can just push around 😂. The amount power he has physically and financially, there's no telling who he might screw over, including Roman 👀

[@adam-yk6yd]

Final Boss Rock needs to be a mix of Mr McMahon, Thanos and late 99 Corporate Rock 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@johnnyd1824]

@@adam-yk6yd He already is that.

[@ggguNeck]

@@adam-yk6yd Nah not goin lie, Final Boss IS definitely the prime Rock gimmick. Mainly because its the perfect hybrid of all his eras. The grittiness of Nation of Domination, the swagger of Hollywood, the cold bloodedness of Corporate, all with the modern day aesthetic. Reminds me of the improved version The Undertaker's deadman 2004-present

[@VizerFino]

I want them to bring some ladies into it. We have Naomi and we have Nia Jax, who are related to the bloodline via marriage. Naomi, Jimmy's wife, and Nia Jax, the Rock's cousin

[@Rmglarry]

The Nwo meets the Heart Foundation

[@CubanMissal]

Rock returns, unites the Bloodline by giving Solo Smackdown and Roman RAW, and we have a massive heel takeover of WWE

[@SS-tg8lf]

1. Rock returns cost Reigns the Ula fala 2. The Uso are FORCED to join Rock's bloodline. 3. After getting BEAT DOWN constantly, Reigns is pushed to his breaking point and is left with NO choice but to ACKNOWLEDGE The Rock and join him. 4. Rock gives Reigns the exact same treatment Reigns gave jey back in 2020. Constantly talking Down to him and slapping him around. 5. Reigns gets fed up with Rock's abuse and challenges Rock. Rock REFUSES. 6. Reigns wins the 2026 royal rumble and chooses Rock as his opponent. 7. In the following weeks the bloodline are FORCED by the Rock to constantly attack Reigns and leave him laying. 8. WM 42, Reigns faces Rock and wins .

[@Blackrain7920]

BS

[@CubanMissal]

@Blackrain7920 Brainy Stuff I agree

[@billsedutto8824]

That’s a great idea.

[@RhetroRP]

I could see the High Chief being like Sense Kreese in Karate kid,, with the bloodline members being like the Cobra Kai in Karate Kid (not the Netflix crap,,, the original movie)… Kreese told his guys to cheat in the tournament, and Johnny Lawrence questioned his “Sweep the leg” “You got a problem with that”…. Then ended up abusing his student bc he lost… I could see Rock treating the bloodline members the same way, and eventually, the bloodline turns on him bc of the way he was treating them

[@rosewolf7768]

I know no one will know what I'm talking about but I wanted to THANK ZILLA FATU for doing his busted open interview some weeks back and let the world know about putting Mayonnaise on pizza! Just tried it right now and Holy moly is it a delicious combination! DAVE must try it!

[@Trunks7500]

HAPPY HOLIDAYS #1 WRESTLING POD

[@MrJ077]

Undertakers Pod is number 1

[@PicoDeNicoChico]

5:21 I had the same reaction as Mark 😂

[@labglass4095]

If they bring in anymore family members, they might as well have their own show or federation at that point

[@PicoDeNicoChico]

Too late for that lmao that started back with the Rock's mama running wrestling shows

[@chancegtb]

HBK hets so freaked out when anyone messes with Ava because the Rock warned him he would take over if Ava was harmed

[@jasonthompson9851]

Somewhere, somehow.. at the height of Rocks heat, we absolutely need an Austin interception. When the babyfaces are up against the wall, the goat babyface shows up for the surprise save.

[@thewrestlingoldhead]

I feel that the story is leading to Solo grabbing the Ula Fala after a loss to Roman, and giving it to The Rock in 2025. But, maybe they hold off until 2026.

[@thewrestlingoldhead]

I know he is in another company, but man, how perfect would Samoa Joe be in this Bloodline saga?

[@ericanders2819]

He would probably be the Bronson Reed of the new bloodline.

[@AceHole90]

Um no.. he's not related at all. I get reed isn't either but roman shit on joe Years ago for not being a real Samoan

[@FitFreshMiami]

Not even, Joe said it himself he’s not even from the same island

[@ErikRodriguez-d3g]

Bad take brah

[@thewrestlingoldhead]

@TJ-zs3vx tama and tonga loa are technically not related by blood. Haku is not a blood relative, he is considered an Uncle by Rikishi.

[@CJ_Cantu_80]

I dont mind rock being the high chief/final boss. But way i see it is rock gonna come out being the ine behind the blood line 2.0 which would lead up to rock vs roman at mania.

[@razorrawb]

I honestly don't want Rock v Cody at mania, I want high chief v tribal chief at mania. Maybe Rock v Cody at Summerslam or maybe even before Mania.

[@HapkneeHouse8685]

HEY GUYS......The rock gave Cody a watch back that Cody gifted everyone that was involved in that final stretch. He has told the story in a few podcasts. The Rock whispers " Don't break my heart ever again" when he is giving it back

[@charlied8284]

Never mentioned yet. You're wrong.

[@ItwasMenotU1234]

Anyone else notice Solo dressing like the Rock from the Fanny pack pic era? Black shirt and necklace resembling that meme? I’m all for the High Chief/McMahon type Rock and group HOWEVER they can’t kill off the opposition like Cena single handedly did to the NeXuS group. If this happens that group will never recover. They have to build the stars of the next 5-10 yrs not kill them off.

[@abdullahfathi5638]

If Bloodline unites I would like to see Nia Jax join them

[@MsAwesomeSaucey]

I am feeling both Mark and Tommy’s ideas. 🔥

[@richardbuskirk2250]

I just wanna say Tommy dreamer you made my childhood magical You and the sandman!! I thank you!!

[@ChiragsWWEUniverse]

I’ll be LIVE at the intuit dome for the raw debut on Netflix. So pumped! Can’t even say how pumped I am. I’m really hoping for some cool surprises!

[@JReyesHTX713]

I’m curious if Rikishi will have a part in the story

[@TelvinKipapa]

Ain't no way in hell The Rock is coming back full-time. 😂

[@Mourndarkv]

I don't think anyone including me knows the impact being on Netflix is going to have for the WWE and Pro Wrestling in general.

[@tegarlagajoebhaar8936]

Yeah. The Rock being on the TKO Board of Directors gives an actual meaning to the Final Boss/High Chief character, adds more emphasis to it. To further emphasize his arc, yes he should be more involved, even if he only makes sporadic on-screen appearances. One thing on the Rock vs Rhodes where the former books himself in the title match, then that means the final prediction of the Rhodes-Owens arc ends with Rhodes coming out victorious, right? Because don’t forget that the Rock vs Reigns rumored match could still be in the books. Rock to Paul “Triple H” Levesque during one on one meetings be like: “you now answer to the Final Boss-uh, and you are going to like it-uhh. So for the first time you have an actual leader-uhh, an actual boss-uhh”.

[@DirewolfGOT]

Jacob Fatu is awesome, he just is. His unstoppable monster image probably means he wont be a face anytime soon but still rooting for him in 2025

[@ScottFerguson-s4t]

Ava is def getting involved in next couple years

[@adrirajdatta8119]

I would like Rock to reform the Nation of Domination in 2025 with Drew, KO, Solo, Jecob & Tongas

[@Oldschool1943]

except for Drew, KO,

[@kang7664]

Add Bronson Reed and Shinske Nakamura’s new character

[@tqueen7131]

The rock is a real High Chief appointed so years ago by The King of Samoa. He's also working behind the scenes helping run the company and has his hand in this story. Thank you Tommy for getting it right about the bloodline many forget that. Some cool ideas all around Mark thanks for mentioning his Mom too! Solo needs his push and I think deserves it. It's weird to say "Abuse" power because Triple H has 0 standing. The Rock is his boss. What would a "power play" by Triple H an employee even do for him? But I would love to see him tell Paul he's not dealing with his father in law but him!

[@702TifosiGambler]

I like Marks idea of High Chief Rocky and a bloodline takeover storyline, instead of mimicking the NWO vs everyone else WCW storyline which became stale after random people joined. I’d rather see a storyline mimicking The Invasion from Attitude Era where the bloodline invades other companies etc and you have somewhat of an all star match/saga involving the bloodline

[@mackflyymedia]

Check the family tree from the Vegas Face-Off. Rock has already listed himself as "High Chief. " It's CLEARLY on the chart! How is everyone missing this??

[@dougschadel8094]

You got to strike while the iron is hot. We need Roman vs rock. We need Jacob to be unleashed and get some good matches before he gets hurt. Everyone gets hurt he's healthy now. Let's see some good matches now and hopefully we will get that at mania or rumble

[@hatethegamejackson1923]

The rock n reigns needa have a Samoan lumberjack match : all the elders at ringside both bloodlines nobody is allowed to touch anyone

[@Erick-wv9iz]

He should run in and cause Roman the ulafala then come out as the high chief then Roman vs rock at mania for the high chief position

[@Kingmight-vg4fq]

I like bullies take but did he forget that the rock is quite literally the boss already he has a bunch of other things he has to do he has contractual obligations it's not as simple as Stay full time I feel people need to remember these things for certain wrestlers and their part-time a lot of them actually have legit business Investments outside of wrestling we need to keep this in mind

[@elizabethwatson9112]

I think that's the point. wrestling isn't his top priority so why should they depend on someone who is not as reliable as needed.

[@Kingmight-vg4fq]

@elizabethwatson9112 because he is why wwe has been cooking from the creative and ambassador aspect plus it's better this way if some stars are around to often it can get stale and lose it's charm that why I like the way the storytelling now because they drop teasers and connect storylines so literally even If someone is a part timer they can still bring that star in at the most important moment or just as a surprise "out of nowhere" 😉

[@clarkwilliam8667]

Three bloodlines coming soon!!

[@ericanders2819]

Rock will use his corporate powers and enter the Royal Rumble at #30. WATCH!!!

[@bb-gc2tx]

i think they going roman vs rock. i think the favor punk asked heyman for was for heyman to to call brock and have him eliminate people for punk he can eliminate people without actually being in rumble

[@tqueen7131]

You forget he's involved behind the scenes as the boss, and he already pinned Cody he technically doesn't need Rumble, but it could be fun.

[@bb-gc2tx]

@@tqueen7131 either way come january things are going to start getting really interesting

[@tqueen7131]

@bb-gc2tx Yea I'm excited

[@xcrowsgardenx]

I don't know if we're pushing out that far. If it's me booking... I may have posted before Survivor Series cause I thought it was happening there... But Netflix Raw after Roman defeats Solo, he lifts the Ulafala from the mat and before Heyman puts it on him, The rock's music plays and Roman is distracted before an attack by Jacob. Rock comes to the ring and is handed a steel chair , when he continously beats down Roman, then sicks the deadly assault weapon on Roman that is Jacob who demolishesthe OTC. The Ulafala handed to the new "High Chief" replacing the "Tribal Chief" On SD Rock says Roman failed to carry the title and Solo failed at finishing the job. Jacob is Rock's right hand man now and Solo becomes kinda the bench warmer of the new group. Will Roman out of the way and the a new High Chief taking everything that is rightfully his, the focus is one the WWE Championship and Cody Rhodes. "I don't give a damn about his bitch ass neck. It's the Final Boss v Cody at the Royal Rumble. And if Cody can't show up, he forfeits the title to me..." I would love to play on "Is Cody going to make it to Rumble" but they prolly would need Cody to promote the show more. At the Rumble, Roman cost Rock the match against Cody and we head into mania Rock v Roman for the greatest Samoan of all time. Who gets to carry the Ulafala for life. I would make this Rocks retirement match but would bring him back months later as a "offical" type personality, like they said a Vince type character to get someone over in an Austin like capacity over the next year or two. Post Mania would love to see Roman get back into it with the rebirth of face Roman v Heel Strowman and to head into the summer with Bloodline hunter Kevin calling for Roman's head. Watch the 4 wanderers of the fallen Bloodline turn into a Samoan horsemen team. And watch Solo, Jacob and God continue to battle head to head with other groups like Legado Fantasma, LWO, American Made, or the Debuting D, Angelo family! Or the rebirth of the OC! Or maybe the Wyatts!

[@HaxelStranger]

But how will the 2nd week on Netflix be ???

[@TopFitnessStrategies]

LOVE the show guys, but Mark needs to check his microphone. He sounds like he's using the microphone from his laptop or the webcam. If his mic was correct, it may be time for a new mic. Get on like Tommy has.

[@ConkersSquirrel]

I think Rock will come back with his own faction. Then you will have a massive three faction war for the throne

[@SS-tg8lf]

The New Bloodline IS Rock's faction 👍

[@ConkersSquirrel]

@@SS-tg8lf Yes thats what i believed throughout the year. But hearing there's more bloodline members out there, i think it would be much cooler to add a third faction.

[@SS-tg8lf]

@ConkersSquirrel I don't think we need to make a 3rd bloodline. They'll just get merged together eventually anyway.

[@ConkersSquirrel]

@@SS-tg8lf Getting merged eventually anyway is a poor justification. Especially since this is long term storytelling. But since WWE is taking idea's from blockbuster cinema, It would be much like The Hobbit: Battle of the Five Armies where all the factions fight over the Arkenstone (Ula Fala). Adding more members into current bloodlines will flood it too much & make it harder to get each individual over. Plus we've seen them fight each other now. Rock part time with the Tongans wont hold interest for another year. Rock coming in with a whole new faction refreshes everything.

[@Ddddjjbddd]

@@ConkersSquirrel it being a poor justification is matter of opinion, but a fact, is that every bloodline family feud has the same ending, they come together as one

[@TunzoFun]

Content from Busted Open Radio how about that? This just made my day... not too often do we get _free_ content from this brand.

[@wwedxecw]

Mark is right as well …. Send Zilla ! Send the other Fatu brother. Hell why not include rikishi ? This family is too large to not use everyone , it’ll add intrigue to the story

[@lomaudit9674]

I know he's on the board of directors, but that still doesn't put him higher than HHH in the corporate order. The CEO, COO, CBO, whatever, is a titled position within the company, over board members.

[@jboogie325]

Mark was spot on. Rock just announced he is the High Chief

[@omarbalubaid3649]

And that’s why you don’t let the clowns run the circus

[@deadbrothers8348]

Damn it I forgot mark Henry was on this show

[@jamesreding6336]

Good morning

[@elizabethwatson9112]

The Bloodline has shown that they didn't need The Rock to have a legendary storyline. He's just using his "authority" to insert himself into one of the greatest storylines to ever be. How can you be the head of anything if you don't show up? Even Roman in his part time schedule showed up more. I don't see The Rock elevating anybody but himself . Let's give the spotlight to the ones who've been putting in the work day in and day out.I'm seeing the Fatu family representing together one day. Jey,Jimmy,Jacob,& Zilla would be my dream team. We'll just have to see if that dream will ever become a reality.

[@Kingmight-vg4fq]

Lit's because the rock laid the damn table for the current bloodline to eat off of, Roman and the bloodline are as huge as they are partly because of the man they are related to....THE ROCK..

[@elizabethwatson9112]

@Kingmight-vg4fq You might want to check your wrestling history Peter Maivia is the one who trained Afa & Sika . In return , they passed down that training to the members of the Anoai/ Fatu family who gave us 40+ years of Wrestling entertainment. The Rock didn't set any tables. The table was set for him by his father Rocky Johnson and (grandfather 🤔) Peter Maivia.Please let's not gas him up any more than he already does himself.

[@OMTstudios]

Cody is the new tribal chief

[@johnbravoayers]

Put Rock on Raw for the first year 🎉

[@elmalevojj]

Agree with Bully regarding Jacob Fatu

[@billsedutto8824]

If the Rock takes over (which I think is a good idea) what happens to HHH? He could get an off camera beat down to take him out for an extended period but doesn’t he need to be around for the press conferences etc? Rock isn’t going to be there every event to do all that is he?

[@WWEJOBBER]

What episode is this on XM?

[@KD_SWAGGER]

I agree with Bully Ray on everything he said.

[@IllaLatiker]

[@tharealjwayne]

I think punk faces Roman at mania Cody faces rock. Rock beats Cody for the title and fights Roman at summerslam

[@BenTIStudios]

Rock has came back in the past on a closer to full time basis. He doesn't need to do it again

[@christopherruggles887]

The Bloodline Storyline is the best story ever created in WWE.

[@paddyboycooper8858]

rock is not coming back full time we know he has moana live action reshoots coming plus FF X part 2 starts production later this year rumor is fall. so likely is he's unscheduled a few months here and there. plus i don't see him wanting to share the shine of the cena retirement tour

[@jameshicks1268]

Rock could blame it on a difference of opinion amongst him and other board members

[@Blackrain7920]

Mark that sounds like a Samoan NWO already seen it

[@nicksparta9580]

How is Tommy not in NXT yet

[@Dominic-gf1do]

What if rikishi came back and said I did it for Scotty 2 hotty then val venus gives hogan a big boot and leg drop and put the miz through the Spanish announcement table

[@matthewmorgan5108]

we havent had a boss vs boss match in so long just saying.

[@KK-pm7ud]

I acknowledge my tribal queen, Roxanne Perez.

[@cheesesteak59]

I like the idea of a united WWE vs a united Bloodline. Sorta like the Marvel Civil War movie. Don't drag it out though like the Liv-Dom-Rhea never ending soap opera which feels like it has been going since the Eisenhower administration.

[@wwedxecw]

Bully mentioned on an episode of busted open that the bloodline storyline is feeling a bit stale right now….. I don’t think Roman and the rock’s schedule is helping imo . We get an appearance once a month from Roman then we get solo for 3 weeks working by himself since Roman isn’t there then repeat . This story is missing consistency right now

[@chancegtb]

Let Ava,Lance,Hikuleo run NXT Nia & Naomi with the Tonga Twins and Dakota

[@HapkneeHouse8685]

It was a Rolex

[@easter_sunday]

I was of the impression they brought in Jacob Fatu to be a legitimate challenger to Roman Reigns, and that Solo Sikoa was a primer. As for the Rock? I know he's important to professional wrestling, but it seems like a lot of people in Hollywood are embroiled in a major scandal. (P Diddy). Nothing about the Rock directly has been mentioned, but many of his associates have been named.

[@SS-tg8lf]

Here's what I think might happen 1. Rock returns cost Reigns the Ula fala 2. The Uso are FORCED to join Rock's bloodline. 3. After getting BEAT DOWN constantly, Reigns is pushed to his breaking point and is left with NO choice but to ACKNOWLEDGE The Rock and join him. 4. Rock gives Reigns the exact same treatment Reigns gave jey back in 2020. Constantly talking Down to him and slapping him around. 5. Reigns gets fed up with Rock's abuse and challenges Rock. Rock REFUSES. 6. Reigns wins the 2026 royal rumble and chooses Rock as his opponent. 7. In the following weeks the bloodline are FORCED by the Rock to constantly attack Reigns and leave him laying. 8. WM 42, Reigns faces Rock and wins .

[@adam7899]

I dont agree with Henry 's idea because theres 2 different brand rosters so all the samoans can't be on 1 roster or go back & forth being on both shows. The Royal Rumble winner & Elimination Chamber winner get title shots at WM so how could Rock get a main event title shot for free & not earn it. Jacob Fatu has out shined Solo and you can tell is a future world champion

[@Parallelocam]

I like marks idea but it won't work bc rock won't go close enough to full time, it would just feel forced without him around Solo should beat Cody for the world title and let Jacob be an unstoppable force that ensures he keeps it. Then have rock come in and demand it be handed over to the real tribal chief. Solo bends the knee but Jacob questions rock. Rikishi comes out with the rest of the prospects and reveals there's a new new bloodline at rocks control, and Jacob hesitantly bends the knee out of force Sets up rock/roman perfectly. Roman can win and solo can beat down rock and take control once again before rock goes back to hollywood. New bloodline becomes a bigger threat and the avengers moments become grander

[@mr_smartmind]

I want Roman vs Rock at Wrestlemania 41

[@MahkyVmedia1]

I couldn't care less about the Rock or John Cena, they had their time

[@kandelljordan1018]

Well at least Cena will be full time for his final run.

[@OneNut_Huey]

Mark Henry Master of the obvious.

[@HerveHightower]

I have liked the blood line but I just want to see an flood of it keep it one single lane because if you let get of control it loss in was made special I don't think Rock will all the time I think he be there every so often he doesn't need to be there

[@arleneconverse1238]

Here me out: Cody vs Rock Gunther vs John Cena WM41

[@michaelspencer3081]

I'm Hawaii/Somoa/tribal wrestlered out.

[@JoeyMetcalf80]

Roman wins but The Final Boss will not acknowledge him. The Ula Fala comes back with The High Chief until someone earns it.

[@piamamiddle6688]

Rock not coming back full time he too preoccupied with so much. Him being on the board isnt a thing hes saying for a storyline either

[@easleycardell]

Bully is correct

[@christopherruggles887]

The Rock will not be champion in 2025,he's pick Hollywood over pro wrestling.He used pro wrestling as a stepping stone into Hollywood,he will never come back full-time,I think he doesnt want to do it anymore,if he's truly The "Final Boss"He needs to come back full-time but I think we will never see that happen.

[@VetGoalie76]

Who gives AF about Dwayne?! Best for everyone for him to stay off TV.

Dont think rock and roman can ever team up again sadly eould love cena to cut a promon on them on Netflix game over already done unspeakable things to them actually hes ran through the whole bloodlone in different ways hahahah they dont want no smoke hes the only man to turn fatu into a fandango lets not mention tama ahahah could be worse than thoery

[@DylanMorris-y4d]

Only one other team and that is dx took over and now quite literally took hahah hated or loved funniest group on camera changed the game but talkin bloodlines that family was and now and will forevee will be the futre off wwe like them russins in ufc overpowered unfair in my opinion
