Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson has not fought a proper one-on-one match in a decade but still, the WWE fans wait for his match-up against the Tribal Chief Roman Reigns. Interestingly, rumours have started to flare up once again about The Rock facing Roman Reigns.
The dream bout between Roman Reigns and The Rock has been anticipated by every WWE fan for more than three years. Many dirt sheet stories from the previous year suggested that the Showcase of Immortals would mark the end of the wait. Sadly, because of his acting commitments, the eagerly anticipated match may not take place. Some fans still believe The Rock and his cousin will square off at WrestleMania 40, though.
The Rock facing Roman Reigns at this year’s WrestleMania
Dwayne Johnson was once anticipated to make a comeback at the Royal Rumble in 2023, take the title, and then face Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 39. When that didn’t occur, rumours surfaced that he might make a cameo appearance at WrestleMania 39. Even that proved to be nothing more than a fan’s misguided optimism. What are the odds that The Rock will show up at WrestleMania 40?
Dave Meltzer discussed the potential next opponent for Roman Reigns. He thinks The Tribal Chief has faced nearly every top player on the squad, save from Gunther and The Rock. The Great One declined the chance to face Roman at WrestleMania 39 because of his schedule, according to Meltzer. That did, however, leave a gap in the door that would need to be fixed later. Dave Meltzer said it is not a commitment that The Rock will compete against his cousin at WrestleMania 40. In fact, he claimed that no one should hold out hope for it.
Given that The Great One has disappointed fans in the past as well, Dave Meltzer is not far off in his assessment. The Rock last appeared in a legitimate single match for WWE in 2013. He was defeated by John Cena at WrestleMania 29 more than ten years ago. Since that time, The People’s Champion has only faced Erick Rowan once, in a match that lasted no more than six seconds at WrestleMania 32. He did make a brief cameo on SmackDown’s 20th anniversary in 2019.
The Rock may or may not make an appearance at WrestleMania 40, though. Given that the mega-event is still about a year away, it is difficult to make predictions at this time.
