To this, Heyman instantly replied that six to ten weeks is just enough. He even mentioned that just based on his ring knowledge and a few other factors, Dwayne Johnson could deliver an amazing 15-minute match against Roman Reigns. But this will not exactly be what people have dreamed about.

While talking to the host, Paul Heyman said, “Six to ten week once he’s in that shape, he’s good for the rest of the summer…… ‘Could Dwayne Johnson have come back and put together a really classic very memorable 15-minute match with Roman Reigns for this year’s WrestleMania without going through that training?’ I bet you he could.”

Heyman added, “I bet you just based on his knowledge of the Ring, his Supreme psychology which made him such a huge star………The fact that Dwayne will push himself Beyond his own limits, we could have had a great 15-minute match.”

According to Heyman, Dwayne Johnson doesn’t want to disappoint fans

He further mentioned that fans deserve to witness a phenomenal match at WrestleMania’s main event, with an amazingly crafted storyline. And that’s what Dwayne Johnson must have thought when he decided not to go with the idea of facing Roman Reigns as he would never want to disappoint the WWE Universe. 

Heyman explained, “I don’t think anybody wanted to pay to see a 15-minute match. I think they were people who would pay and expect to see and rightfully expect to see a far longer story be told in a most exciting and a plus plus plus level fashion and to that there was just no way that he would have been able to deliver and I don’t think that he would ever want to disappoint …….uh you know…..what we end up calling the WWE Universe.”

Currently, Roman Reigns is booked to face Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 39. He will be defending his Undisputed WWE Universal Championship against him in the main event. It is expected that WWE will schedule both Reigns and Dwayne Johnson to face each other in the future. But for now, fans have to wait for a little longer.
