The WWE Undisputed Universal Champion Roman Reigns is at the top of his game. Roman Reigns is currently the face of the company. Does it ring any bells? Yes, Reigns’ real-life cousin and Hollywood megastar, Dwayne Johnson, aka The Rock, also had the same stardom when he worked full time with the WWE.

Since ‘The Tribal Chief’ came into Vince McMahon’s company, the WWE Universe wondered if Johnson and Reigns would ever square off! In addition, no men in the company have been able to dethrone Roman Reigns off the WWE Universal Championship run.

Profound WWE superstars such as Brock Lesnar, John Cena, Goldberg, Edge, and many others failed to captivate Reigns’ Universal title.

Special Counsel to Roman Reigns issued an open challenge to The Rock!

Roman Reigns have smashed every opponent on his way to keep his ‘God Mode’ intact in the company. Therefore, many believe that to break down Roman Reigns’ obnoxious Universal title run, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson should return to the WWE to humble him.

Finally, Reigns’ Special Counsel, Paul Heyman, spoke about a dream match at WrestleMania. Paul Heyman recently appeared on 98.5 The Sports Hub and discussed a potential The Rock vs. Roman Reigns match.

Paul Heyman stated, “That’s up to The Rock. If The Rock wants to get his a** kicked in front of a hundred thousand people. Whether it’s in Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Boston, New York, Miami, or the moon, if Elon Musk colonizes it, Roman Reigns would be happy to smash The Rock.”

During this conversation, special counsel to Roman Reigns mentioned The Rock because he is the blockbuster in the business. Heyman up frontally noted that if Dwayne Johnson wants the beating of his life, he should step inside the squared circle with his cousin, Roman Reigns.

Heyman also named Drew McIntyre and ‘The American Nightmare’, Cody Rhodes as the potential challenger of The Tribal Chief.

Will Roman Reigns face his cousin Dwayne Johnson at WrestleMania?

A potential dream match at WrestleMania between The Rock and Reigns has been in talks for years now. Even when ‘The Tribal Chief’ defeated Brock Lesnar at ‘The Stupendous’ WrestleMania 38, wrestling fans expected Johnson to make his return to humble his cousin.

 

In addition, next year’s WrestleMania will be at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California. Given The Rock’s status in Hollywood, it would be a perfect venue for Dwayne Johnson to appear at WrestleMania 39.

The company has teased several hints for a dream match between the cousins. For instance, Reigns performs an alternate version of Johnson’s “Rock Bottom” finisher inside the ring.

In addition, ‘The Tribal Chief’ has called out The Rock during a WWE live event. It’s not possible that Dwayne Johnson didn’t catch wind of this rumor, and there is a lot of anticipation for this match.

 

Notably, even in the NBC hit comedy, Young Rock series, Dwayne Johnson dropped a massive Easter egg. Fans witnessed a teaser of a dream match in season 2, episode 5, ‘What is Business?’
