A WrestleMania Dream Match in the Making?
Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson, a name synonymous with WWE greatness, recently made waves with his appearance on the Pat McAfee show. During their extensive conversation, the two media titans delved into intriguing topics, none more captivating than the speculation surrounding The Rock’s potential clash with Roman Reigns at WrestleMania.
Previously, it was revealed that The Rock had been slated to face Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 39, only for the bout to remain a missed opportunity. However, wrestling fans may not have to wait much longer, as WrestleMania 40 is now firmly in the discussion.
In his appearance on the Pat McAfee show, The Rock shed light on the situation, stating, “We got really close, but we couldn’t figure out what that thing was, so we decided to put our pencils down, and we agreed, ‘hey listen, there’s a merger coming up, there’s WrestleMania coming up in Philly, that’ll happen.’ I’m saying that is potential too, I’m open.”
The electric atmosphere among the live audience in Colorado suggests that a showdown between The Rock and Roman Reigns at WrestleMania is a concept that resonates strongly with fans. Pat McAfee himself expressed keen interest in the idea. While The Rock didn’t confirm anything or make an official announcement, the possibility is on the horizon.
Previously, it was indicated that The Rock’s unavailability contributed to the missed WrestleMania 39 opportunity. However, creative considerations may have played a significant role. The desire is clear: when The Rock faces Roman Reigns, it must be an unforgettable encounter with a compelling narrative to match the immense hype.
