10 Booking Steps For The Rock's WWE Return
5. His Return Match Is Against Jey Uso At Fastlane
The attack leads to The Rock demanding a match with one of the Usos at Fastlane. He talks about how he didn't want to step back into the ring, but that he can't stand aside and watch his family be poisoned from within. The Rock specifically requests Jey, demanding that he faces him at Fastlane because he sees the pain in his eyes after all the time he's spent as Roman's "dog".
Outside of kayfabe, Jey is more proven than Jimmy with high profile singles matches and will be guaranteed to give The Rock a good and safe match before he faces Roman.
At Fastlane, Roman Reigns will defend once again against Brock Lesnar, this time with only Jimmy at ringside. Roman will barely survive a kimura lock, transitioning it into the Guillotine Choke and winning via technical submission. However, in the main event, The Rock will step back into the ring and work a safe, solid match where he wins following a Rock Bottom and People's Elbow, soaking up all the cheers from the crowd as he defeats Jey.
The Rock needs a match before WrestleMania to get him used to wrestling again and this is the perfect one to book.
