Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has been the subject of rumors regarding a return to the WWE, potentially to face off against his cousin Roman Reigns. This match-up has the potential to be one of the most electrifying and memorable events in recent wrestling history.
Despite the speculation quieting down in the weeks and months leading up to WrestleMania 39, The Rock reignited excitement with a tantalizing hint at a possible confrontation with Reigns and The Bloodline faction. In a video posted on his Twitter account following the first night of WrestleMania, Johnson made a statement that set the wrestling world abuzz.
“It is in our blood and, who knows, maybe just maybe down the road, I’ll see you in person,” Johnson said, raising his iconic People’s Eyebrow. “I’ll just leave it at that.”
Johnson’s comments came as he congratulated those involved in the first night of WrestleMania, giving a special shoutout to his daughter, known as Ava Raine in NXT, for her performance at Stand & Deliver earlier in the day. His cryptic message has fans eagerly anticipating a potential showdown.
Roman Reigns, who has been dominating the WWE scene with his “Head of the Table” persona, commented on the possibility of a match with The Rock back in November 2021. During an appearance on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” Reigns mentioned he would be open to the match, stating, “I don’t know if he wants it. That’s kind of something we do in our family as far as sports entertainment, professional wrestling, WWE. This is our platform. This is our family business.”
Reigns, whose real name is Leati Joseph Anoaʻi, belongs to the legendary Anoa’i wrestling family. This dynasty includes The Rock, The Usos, The Tonga Kid, Rikishi, Yokozuna, and the late Umaga.
The potential clash between The Rock and Roman Reigns could become a legendary chapter in WWE history. With both superstars having deep roots in the wrestling world and immense popularity, the anticipation for this match is already building among fans.
As WrestleMania 39 concluded its first night with thrilling championship victories by Sami Zayn, Kevin Owens, and Rhea Ripley, the possibility of a future face-off between The Rock and Roman Reigns adds an extra layer of excitement for WWE enthusiasts. Whether this dream match becomes a reality remains to be seen, but the wrestling world is undoubtedly buzzing with anticipation.
