Dwayne Johnson aka The Rock is “the most electrifying man in sports entertainment.” He started in WWE around 26 years ago and remains one of the most popular superstars ever. Throughout his career, he has been involved in various feuds. Ranging from feuds with Stone Cold Steve Austin, to Mankind, to John Cena and even CM Punk.
Dwayne Johnson left the wrestling business in the early 2000s to join Hollywood and he has never looked back since. In 2011, he returned to WWE as the host of WrestleMania 27 and quickly got involved in a feud with John Cena. Both these superstars faced each other twice, once at WrestleMania 28, where The Brahma Bull came out victorious. However, John Cena won their bout at WrestleMania 29.

Before their rematch at WrestleMania 29, The Rock was involved in a feud with CM Punk for his WWE Championship. The Shield back then worked as guards for CM Punk. Back then, The Rock fell victim to the triple powerbomb of Shield. Seth Rollins, Dean Ambrose aka Jon Moxley, and Roman Reigns together were known as The Shield.

He said, “You know what was really cool? When the Shield attacked me before WrestleMania. They powerbombed me.” He said how he remembered being on Roman’s shoulders and Seth throwing him down hard on the wrestling mat. He said it busted his blood vessels and blood started coming out of his mouth. He further said how after that Roman checked in on him. The Rock said, “And Seth was like ‘who gives a s*it’ and walked away.” At this moment everyone present in the life busted out laughing including Seth Rollins. In his defense, Seth said how it was like 10 years ago and he does not remember it correctly.

As per reports from Dave Meltzer, The Rock is heavily rumored to face Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 39. Meltzer said, “It’s the plan. It’s 100 percent the plan for this year [WrestleMania 39]. But the idea is, it’s the plan if he can do it. We’re still months away, months and months away. So many opportunities and things like that may come up that are far more important than WrestleMania.”
Roman Reigns is currently the undisputed champion and has held the title for more than 700 days. Although, it now seems WWE has no plans of Reigns losing the title to anyone. However, if the cousins come face to face against each other it will not be fair for a part-timer to get the win over Roman Reigns.
