Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson Spills the Beans on the Planned Face-off with Roman Reigns

Wrestling enthusiasts were on the edge of their seats when Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson recently shared some behind-the-scenes details about a potential face-off with Roman Reigns at WWE WrestleMania 39. In a candid conversation on the Pat McAfee Show, The Rock delved into the initial plans and the reasons they didn’t come to fruition.

The Rock reminisced about the early days of 2022 when Nick Khan, a pivotal figure in the wrestling world, played a crucial role in bringing Vince McMahon and The Rock together. The trio met in LA, and after some heartwarming toasts to life and the business they adore, discussions shifted to the potential blockbuster match between The Rock and Roman Reigns at the Sofi Stadium. The excitement was palpable, with all three agreeing on the spot to make it happen.

However, it wasn’t just about the match. The Rock emphasized the desire to offer something unprecedented to the fans. While acknowledging Roman Reigns’ prowess and the potential of their match, the focus was on creating a spectacle that would redefine wrestling events. The idea was to ensure WrestleMania wasn’t just the culmination of a storyline but the beginning of something even grander.

But as fate would have it, the plans hit a snag. Despite their best efforts, the team needed help finalizing their envisioned storyline. The Rock admitted that while they were close to sealing the deal, they needed help pinpoint the exact narrative they wanted to pursue. With a potential merger on the horizon and another WrestleMania in Philadelphia, The Rock hinted at the possibility of revisiting the idea but with a fresh perspective.

In his words, the ultimate goal is to deliver something “incredible and unprecedented” for the fans and the dedicated wrestlers backstage. With Vince McMahon’s reputation for thinking big, fans can remain hopeful for a future spectacle that will redefine wrestling narratives.
