Which Brand’s Vest Did Dwayne Johnson Wear on Smackdown 2/16 & How Much Does It Cost?

Roman Reigns arrived tonight on SmackDown with a rather carefree countenance, after everything that happened with Cody Rhodes and The Rock at the Kickoff conference for WrestleMania XL. The Tribal Chief arrived at the ring accompanied by Paul Heyman, Jimmy Uso, and Solo Sikoa to talk about what was to come for him at the WWE event.

‘The Tribal Chief’ assured that everything was about to change, as he could officially say that the Rock was a member of the Bloodline. The ‘People’s Champion’ arrived to speak to the SmackDown audience, and his attire was surely something that caught the eyes of the fans. Rather than wearing his typical black jacket, he wore a gold and black shirt. Something that means more than a change in his look. Here are more details on the not-so-subtle change.

As the Rock came to the ring to address the fans or insult them like he did, there was something different this time. He was wearing a gold and black Versace shirt, a return of the $500 shirt. And while many might think that this was a normal change in attire for the Brahma Bull, well it wasn’t. When the babyface Rocky Maivia became The corporate heel Rock in 1997, he started wearing cool clothes, every week he’d have a good-looking $500 Versace shirt, it became a signature of the Brahma Bull, the same way the eyebrow raise is. The Rock wore these shirts weekly in 2001 but stopped wearing them during the road to WrestleMania 17.

After becoming the Hollywood Rock, he started wearing merchandise he was promoting like ‘Just Bring It’ and ‘Lay the SmackDown’ attire. And before today, he was usually seen rocking under armor vests. And while it is not sure if the shirt he wore tonight was from a new collection or not, it is possible that he must’ve simply reused an old shirt as he did for the 2013 film ‘Pain and Gain’.
