The Rock’s UNEXPECTED MESSAGE to Roman Reigns Ahead of WWE SummerSlam to DESTROY Seth Rollins
In a stunning turn of events that has sent shockwaves through the WWE Universe, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has delivered a cryptic and provocative message to his cousin, Roman Reigns, just days before WWE SummerSlam 2025. The electrifying superstar, now known as the “Final Boss,” has seemingly urged Reigns to take down their long-time rival, Seth “Freakin” Rollins, in what promises to be an explosive chapter in their storied rivalry. With SummerSlam set to take place on August 2 and 3 at MetLife Stadium, this unexpected development has fans buzzing with anticipation, speculating about the implications for the biggest party of the summer.
The Rock, a global icon and part-time WWE competitor, has been absent from in-ring action since his high-profile tag team match at WrestleMania 40, where he teamed with Reigns against Cody Rhodes and Rollins. His return to the WWE spotlight has been limited due to his Hollywood commitments, including the upcoming live-action Street Fighter movie where he is rumored to play Akuma. However, his influence within WWE remains undeniable, especially as a member of the TKO Group board of directors. The message to Reigns, delivered via a cryptic social media post, has reignited discussions about The Rock’s intentions and his potential involvement in SummerSlam.
The message itself was short but loaded with intent. Posted on Instagram, The Rock wrote, “Uce, it’s time to finish what we started. Take out the Visionary. Make him pay. #FinalBoss #SummerSlam.” The post, accompanied by a throwback image of The Rock and Reigns standing side by side, sent fans into a frenzy, with many interpreting it as a call to arms for Reigns to settle his score with Rollins. The history between Reigns and Rollins, former Shield stablemates, is one of the most compelling narratives in modern WWE, marked by betrayal, heartbreak, and unrelenting competition.

Reigns, the former Undisputed WWE Universal Champion, has been on a mission to reclaim his dominance since his return on the July 14 edition of Monday Night Raw. After being sidelined following a brutal assault by Rollins and Bron Breakker post-WrestleMania 41, Reigns made a dramatic comeback, saving Jey Uso and CM Punk from an attack by Breakker and Bronson Reed. This set the stage for a blockbuster tag team match at SummerSlam, where Reigns and Uso will face Breakker and Reed. However, The Rock’s message suggests a deeper focus on Rollins, who has aligned himself with Paul Heyman, Reigns’ former Wiseman, adding a layer of personal animosity to the feud.
The bad blood between Reigns and Rollins dates back to 2014 when Rollins betrayed The Shield, swinging a steel chair into Reigns’ back in a moment that shattered one of WWE’s most dominant factions. The betrayal has fueled their rivalry for over a decade, with key moments including Rollins cashing in his Money in the Bank contract at WrestleMania 31 to steal the WWE Championship from Reigns and Brock Lesnar. More recently, at WrestleMania 41, Rollins aligned with Heyman and pinned Reigns, further intensifying their conflict. The Rock’s message appears to be a strategic move to rally Reigns against Rollins, potentially setting the stage for a future singles showdown.
Speculation is rife about whether The Rock will make a physical appearance at SummerSlam to back Reigns. While his schedule is packed, his history of surprise returns keeps fans hopeful. Some believe he could serve as a ringside enforcer or even interfere to ensure Reigns’ victory, particularly if Rollins gets involved in the tag team match. Others suggest The Rock’s message is a psychological ploy to motivate Reigns, leveraging their family ties as members of the Anoa’i dynasty to push the Tribal Chief to new heights.
The WWE Universe is also buzzing about the potential fallout. A victory for Reigns and Uso over Breakker and Reed could catapult Reigns back into the world title picture, but a confrontation with Rollins looms large. Rollins, currently sidelined with a knee injury sustained at Saturday Night’s Main Event, is expected to return soon, with Heyman hyping his faction’s dominance. The Rock’s involvement adds another layer of intrigue, as his “Final Boss” persona thrives on manipulating the narrative to his advantage.
As SummerSlam approaches, the WWE landscape is shifting rapidly. The Rock’s unexpected message has not only reignited his connection with Reigns but also set the stage for a potential blockbuster clash with Rollins. Whether this leads to a direct confrontation or a strategic alliance, one thing is certain: the WWE Universe is in for a wild ride at the biggest party of the summer. Fans will be glued to their screens, waiting to see if Reigns heeds The Rock’s call and delivers a devastating blow to his arch-rival, Seth Rollins.
