10 Things WWE Raw: Day 1 Told Us About WrestleMania XL Season

2. The Rock Is Coming For Roman Reigns

Everyone knows that Dwayne Johnson’s schedule is crazy, but he can surely find time for WrestleMania...right? This cannot be the final time fans see The Rock during ‘Mania season even if he doesn't wrestle an actual match in Philadelphia. His star power is far too useful

On Raw, Rocky cleverly teased a match vs. Roman Reigns without even mentioning The Bloodline leader's name at all. Instead, Dwayne said he fancied going out for something to eat in San Diego after the show, and added that he could sit "at the head of the table". Fans lost their collective minds over that.

Folks weren't really expecting it. Raw's audience figured Rock would thank them then bow out after pasting Jinder Mahal, but he had more to offer with the Roman nod. Now, the question is when? Rocky challenging Reigns would blow Cody Rhodes out of the water, but that'd be risky when Cody's a full-timer and Johnson isn't.

Perhaps The Rock vs. Roman has SummerSlam written all over it?
