Three words: Samoan. Submission. Machine.

If Dave Meltzer's prediction proves correct, then good ol' Dwayne Johnson will be back in the WWE saddle on 7 April 2019 for a little WrestleMania 35 action. Whether you're a fan of The Rock's sporadic returns to pro wrestling from Hollywood stardom or not, there's no doubt any appearance by "The Great One" would reap huge financial rewards for WWE.

The big question is: who would he work with?

Roman Reigns seems to be the Wrestling Observer's top answer, and it makes sense. Everyone's (least) favourite "top babyface" isn't exactly the only logical opponent Rocky could have in New York next spring though. There's unfinished business all over the place, and it might be fun to slot someone totally new he's never faced before into one of the show's biggest matches.

Whatever happens, The Rock's showing will be designed to put someone else over before he rides back off into the sunset and stars as a muscle-bound hero in box office smashes like Jumanji 2. If WWE are smart, they'll be planning a blockbuster of their own.

We smell what they're cooking...
