The mention of Roman Reigns by The Rock is a clear indication of the creative direction.
The Rock vs. Roman Reigns now appears to be a sealed deal. The specifics of when and where this epic clash will take place remain to be seen.
The Rock vs Roman Reigns: A Sealed Deal in WWE – Here’s What You Need to Know
The Rock and Roman Reigns, who are real-life cousins, have long been a dream match for many fans. Roman Reigns, also known by his real name Leati Joseph Anoa’I, has had a remarkable reign as WWE Champion, holding the title for over 1000 days and being pinned only once in the last three years.
Despite challenges from notable names like John Cena, Brock Lesnar, Edge, and Sami Zayn, Reigns has maintained his dominance as the Tribal Chief.
While it’s not clear whether The Rock vs Roman Reigns will be for the WWE title, the significance of this feud is immense. The prospect of these two Samoan superstars, representing one of wrestling’s iconic families, facing off is a massive draw in itself, regardless of the championship implications. The clash symbolizes a battle for the ultimate honor in the Samoan dynasty of WWE.
Roman Reigns responded to the announcement by sharing a ‘tears of laughter flowing down face’ emoji on his social media handle, confirming the anticipation of the upcoming rivalry.
The concept of WWE planning a match between Roman Reigns and The Rock was previously discussed for last year’s WrestleMania but did not materialize.
The Rock acknowledged that it was initially set for WrestleMania 39 but didn’t come to fruition.
With two of the significant WWE Pay-Per-View events scheduled for January and April, The Rock vs. Roman Reigns is speculated to occur at WrestleMania 40. Roman Reigns, an eight-time WWE Champion, has yet to face The Rock, making him the only WWE legend Roman hasn’t been able to defeat.
The question arises: will Reigns finally conquer The Great One, or will “the most electrifying man in sports entertainment” be the one to end The Tribal Chief’s reign? The answers to these questions will unfold in the next two months.
