10 Big WWE Returns That Could Happen In 2021
1. The Rock
If fans are somehow allowed back into arenas in time for WrestleMania 37, WWE needs to think long and hard about a proper main event. Roman Reigns vs. Big E battling over the Universal Championship is an emotional option, while the prospect of a rematch between Drew McIntyre and Brock Lesnar isn't out of the question. Truth be told, there is only one possible match that feels fitting for such an occasion.
Roman Reigns vs. The Rock, for the WWE Universal Championship.
It makes sense for so many reasons. Roman Reigns has finally found his character, and his Tribal Chief run has the potential to be the career-defining reign that he has so desperately needed. Reigns is also bringing credibility to the Universal Championship, a still-new title that has struggled for legitimacy since its establishment in 2016.
A WrestleMania victory over The Rock will be the crowning moment of this new Roman Reigns. The two are linked by history and blood. The Rock has gone on to bigger and better things but he has made no secret of his enduring love and respect for the pro wrestling industry.
All of this depends on The Rock's schedule and interest level, but it has the potential to be a career-defining match for Reigns and a massively lucrative one for WWE. Roman Reigns is finally on the right track and the time has come for The Rock to give him a real seal of approval. 2021 is the year to do it.
