10 Shocking Wrestling Moments That’d Rock 2021

5. The Rock Returns To Challenge Roman Reigns

The Rock's induction will be one of the biggest moments for WWE's Hall Of Fame when it finally happens, and might actually top all before it. If things go to plan and WrestleMania 37 is 'Hollywood' powered next spring, then there'd be no better time to pop one of those rings on his finger.

It could also coincide with a mega-match.

Rocky storming out to question why Roman Reigns is hanging around with Paul Heyman sounds plausible, as does Reigns blaming big Dwayne for turning fans against him way back at the Royal Rumble 2015. "They were booing you, not me, and that crap stuck like mud", he'd say. Jesus, it writes itself.

WWE would fawn all over a Reigns vs. Rock match, and it remains one of the most natural box office smashers they have on the back burner. The Hollywood branding would just add to the spectacle. There's no way fans wouldn't be up for this after almost a full year of sitting on couches, not bleachers.
