Roman Reigns Vs. The Rock WrestleMania Match Teased On Young Rock
Will WWE finally be able to put Rock vs. Reigns together for WrestleMania 39?!
The latest episode of Young Rock teased the idea of the show's subject, Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson, facing cousin Roman Reigns at WrestleMania someday.
Set in 1996, last night's episode featured a young Reigns watching footage of fellow Samoan (and Anoa'i dynasty member) Yokozuna entering that year's Royal Rumble match, later turning to the camera and dropping his "Acknowledge me" catchphrase.
When the Young Rock version of Reigns attempted to put Johnson in a headlock, The Rock said that the world wasn't ready for this - and that "a match that big can only happen at WrestleMania."
Roman Reigns vs. The Rock remains the most-wanted dream match on many a wrestling fan's list. And, realistically, it is the biggest money match that WWE could realistically make over the next few years. The obvious family ties and both wrestlers' indomitable status in the industry, plus the appeal of today's biggest full-time star clashing with the biggest mainstream crossover figure wrestling has ever produced, form the bulk of its appeal.
Nonetheless, while both Reigns and Johnson have said they are open to the prospect of facing each, the latter's chaotic Hollywood schedule remains the biggest barrier.
