Now, obviously Dwayne Johnson is a busy fella, but even he must love the thought of matching up vs. Roman Reigns one-on-one as the brightest of bright lights cascade down on WrestleMania. Whether Triple H can make that happen in 2024 is anyone's guess, but 'The Game' will always have this bumper bout in his back pocket and Rocky did already tease the match with a promo.

Forget Hollywood scheduling and logistics for a moment - Rocky bumping Roman from the Rumble and shattering his best-laid plans is a tasty thought. Imagine the horrified look on Paul Heyman's face as he watched The Rock torch another meal ticket mere hours after Randy Orton took the Undisputed Title from his charge.

Fantasy booking is...fantasy booking. Bringing everything together and making it a reality is the biggest challenge facing any pen-to-paper concept, but hearing The Rock's iconic theme hit just as it looked like Reigns was about to screw people over again would be classic.
