Roman Reigns’ WWE Enemy Challenges The Rock To A Match
This WWE star is up to having a singles bout with The Final Boss.
The Rock last appeared on WWE TV at Elimination Chamber in Toronto last year to facilitate John Cena’s heel turn amid Cena’s retirement tour.
He mysteriously vanished after the PLE, and the storyline continued without him. Rapper Travis Scott also abandoned the storyline after his involvement in the main event at WrestleMania 41 between Cody Rhodes and John Cena.
The Rock is a member of the Board of Directors in TKO, WWE’s current owners. His last official match was a tag match at WrestleMania 40 alongside his cousin Roman Reigns.
On the opposite team in that match was Seth Rollins, teaming up with Cody Rhodes. The former World Heavyweight Champion, who was feuding with Reigns at the time, recently recalled the match in a podcast.
WWE Star Seth Rollins Would Love To Go One-On-One With The Great One.
Rollins, in an appearance on Club Shay Shay, talked about how it was to wrestle the Rock in the WrestleMania 40 night 1 tag match.
I had such a fun time wrestling DJ (Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson) at WrestleMania a couple of years ago in the tag match. A singles match would be a lot of fun with him, if he’d be willing to do it. But yeah, the tag match was a blast, and it was really cool to be out there in the main event of WrestleMania with The Rock. I mean, that’s beyond bucket list.
The Rock is always expected to show up at major WWE events, and reports from the Wrestling Observer Newsletter last month have suggested the possibility of The Rock appearing at WrestleMania 43 in Riyadh next year, with the Saudis planning a record-breaking fee to bring him on board.
In an interview with Arabic TV host Raffi Boghosian, The Rock confirmed that he is in conversation with the people involved in the event. Despite this, he didn’t confirm or deny a possible appearance at Mania 43.
Meanwhile, The Rock’s movie career is taking off. He has completed work on Jumanji 4 with his friend Kevin Hart and is working on a movie with legendary filmmaker Martin Scorsese, which will star legendary actor Leonardo DiCaprio.
