The Rock has stirred the wrestling world by hinting at a potential clash with WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns. The Great One dropped this bombshell during a recent interview, seizing the spotlight after his appointment as a member of the Board of Directors of the TKO Group.
The announcement of The Rock’s latest role, coupled with a colossal Netflix deal, has raised eyebrows in the media. Following the huge announcement, Dwayne Johnson revealed that he is now owning the iconic name “The Rock.”
During a recent appearance on ESPN First Take, The Rock responded assertively to Stephen A. Smith’s question about the likelihood of a match against Roman Reigns. He stated, “Look, you guys know — I’m a long gamer. I like to build. And this is — something like this, what this is — if myself and Roman Reigns were to main event WrestleMania, and I mean this very respectfully of all the WrestleManias prior, because I grew up in this business and I love it. We could possibly put on — with us as the main event and this incredible group of men and women who are these incredible performers — we could possibly put on the greatest and the biggest WrestleMania of all time.”
As The Rock joins the TKO Board, the wrestling world eagerly anticipates the unfolding drama, questioning whether this historic matchup will come to fruition at WrestleMania 40. At WWE RAW: Day 1, following The Rock’s shocking return, he teased a match with Roman Reigns.
