Fantasy Booking Triple H's FIRST WWE WrestleMania

3. Roman Reigns Vs. The Rock: WWE Universal Title Match

Dave Meltzer reported just last week that - internally, anyway - the plan for WrestleMania 39 is "100%" Roman Reigns Vs. The Rock.

Rock is a very busy man who has added the responsibility of the XFL to his exhausting schedule, but he didn't foreshadow the match on Young Rock for nothing. This isn't just a case of WWE manifesting the match into existence because it emanates from a glamorous and convenient location. The Roman Reigns Tribal Chief character was practically built to get him over at the expense of the Rock. This relentless, epic title reign was mapped to arrive at the Rock. It would be damning - or hilarious, depending on your disposition - if it didn't end up happening. But it more likely than not is.

Usually, the main event WWE promo style of burying one's opponent into oblivion is worn and counterproductive, but Rock and Reigns are both fabulous at it and utterly secure in their own star aura. Neither will be thought less of because the other hurls an awesome, witty insult in their direction.

It's going to be electrifying in the build, and provided the match doesn't go half an hour for the sake of an "epic" - like the Cena match at WrestleMania XXVIII - it should be as iconic as you think it's going to be.
