The Rock has uploaded a new video to his YouTube channel, in which he openly talks about the possibility of facing his first cousin, current WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns, at WrestleMania.

"I have talked about this and it's so funny how a lot of people always say, 'if you were to go back to WrestleMania, who would be the opponent that you would face?'", Rock said. "It feels like the one that would make sense, right, would be Roman. In terms of box office draw, it would be huge."

'The Great One' went on, stating that he would be "honoured to share the ring with Roman and go back to WWE," and would love to raise his cousin's hand in victory at the end of it.

The red tape involved in putting such a dream match together would be significant. Rock's Hollywood career brings multiple complications, including insurance issues, and previous post-retirement matches have left him seriously injured, though the clash is something that a lot of fans have been wishing for for a long, long time. Rocky is right when he says it would attract huge interest.
