If mixed matches aren't your thing, then don't worry. WWE still have several big marquee matches between the same sex, and one of them is Roman Reigns vs. The Rock. When he's not busy being Hollywood's leading man, Dwayne Johnson is a box office certainty for WWE. He's also the ideal tool WWE can use to further enhance their own leading man.

Reigns and Rock are family, so there's automatic history there. It wouldn't be too hard for WWE to convince Rocky that a match with Roman is a good idea either. As much as Reigns is considered annoying by some of the core audience, he's still regarded as a big star and is someone Rock has a vested interest in helping.

That interest would be aided by fans who wish to see an old hero return to beat WWE's pet project.

WrestleMania 34 will come too soon, so maybe SummerSlam or Survivor Series is the best bet for this blockbuster. Failing that, Vince McMahon and his creative team may well want to pad out the traditionally slow post-'Mania season with one of the biggest bouts they have in reserve.
