Predicting WWE WrestleMania 39 Cards 1 Year Out
2. Roman Reigns Vs The Rock
With WrestleMania coming from LA, it’s time for the much rumoured dream match that finally sees Hollywood Rock return to WWE. Admittedly he didn’t even turn up for his own 25th Anniversary tribute episode last year but this is different, isn’t it? Surely WWE must already have their people talking to Dwayne Johnson’s people and doing everything in their powers to make this happen?
Your writer is going to go out on a limb here and say the title shouldn’t be anywhere near this match. We don’t need another year of deeply predictable Roman Reigns matches that are just killing time until Dwayne gets here. Besides, Roman Reigns is now a star in his own right, not the guy from years back who needed The Rock to try and endorse his Royal Rumble victory.
We know The Rock won’t be around for the long haul and there’s plenty to build a feud around without a strap on the line. With their shared family history, maybe The Rock can come back furious with the self proclaimed “Head of The Table’s” heelish ways.
Of course there are no guarantees. The Rock could get offered a dream movie role and find the producers won’t let him wrestle. But make no mistake, this is a match WWE wants - and if they can make it happen, they will.
