Both The Rock and Samoa Joe are proud of their Samoan heritage. That bleeds through in different ways; Dwayne Johnson has tribal markings all over his body and family lineage he can trace back to his grandfather "High Chief" Peter Maivia. For Joe, the smash mouth, no-frills style he works pays tribute to a hardy people the island is stereotypically known for.

It'd be something special if WWE showed enough faith in Joe to put him up against The Rock on the single biggest platform 2019 will provide.

Joe, due to a combination of injuries since debuting on the main roster in early-2017, is yet to make his 'Mania debut. What a moment it'd be for him personally if he did so in a featured position against Hollywood's biggest draw and one of the most electrifying WWE personalities of all time.

There's nobody better for Rocky to work with than the "Samoan Submission Machine". Yes, he could tie up loose ends with Triple H, battle Brock Lesnar, have a first-ever meeting with Randy Orton or put over Roman Reigns. Alternatively, he could help launch Samoa Joe's WWE career to the next level by tapping out to the Coquina Clutch in front of 80,000+ people.
