The tag-team match had its rough moments, but the real highlight of the WWE Bad Blood premium live event was the thrilling conclusion in the main event.

Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns came out on top against Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu, but that's really just a simplified version of the events that unfolded in the main event.

Here are the three key points to remember from the main event of Bad Blood.

The Rock Is Back But Keeps His Loyalty Secret

Just in case you didn't catch it, The Rock made a comeback right at the conclusion of Bad Blood. Sporting his iconic Final Boss vest and holding the People's Championship over his shoulder, he made a memorable appearance. While Roman and Cody Rhodes were taking charge in the ring, The Rock stood at the top of the ramp, raising three fingers in the air.

It was deliberately vague, crafted to leave you questioning which side he will align with in the huge Bloodline conflict.

It looks like we're heading towards a showdown between The Rock and Roman Reigns at WrestleMania for the Ula Fala. This revered artifact has been elevated to title status, making it a perfectly appropriate match-up.

This arrangement seems to be guiding us in that direction.

Jimmy Uso's Comeback: We Understand The Hype

We had a brief opportunity to acknowledge the frequently overlooked contributions of Jimmy Uso for around five minutes. As soon as the music and visuals of the Final Boss played, the focus shifted entirely to him.

I understand that The Rock is... well, The Rock. Nevertheless, Jimmy received a well-earned cheer for his ringside appearance, which created a distraction that ultimately helped The Rock and Roman secure the victory. He also encouraged Roman to re-enter the ring and assist Cody during the attack from the New Bloodline.

Jimmy's contributions to the Bloodline saga have been impressive, but once more, he found himself somewhat in the background.

Jacob Fatu Still Not Fully Recovered

The Samoan Werewolf had some standout moments in Atlanta, but he still seems to be struggling to fully recover from his ankle injury he sustained at Summerslam. Even though he’s not at his peak right now, he’s still capable of performing in the ring in ways that very few male or female wrestlers in the business can match.

I hope he can take a step back from competing—not from television, but from fights and competitions—so that we can witness him performing at his peak in the coming months.

Here’s a summary of all the outcomes from WWE Bad Blood.
