Paul Heyman says The Rock begged for Roman Reigns match at Wrestlemania

Paul Heyman has made a huge statement about the potential match between Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Roman Reigns.

WWE on Fox released a snippet of Heyman’s interview with Ryan Satin where he revealed that Reigns did not call out The Rock for a match. In fact, it was the other way round. The Rock witnessed the box office appeal that The Big Dog reeled in at SmackDown and since then; he has been begging for a match.

“It wasn’t Roman Reigns that called out the Rock. It wasn’t Paul Heyman that called out The Rock. Neither Roman Reigns nor Paul Heyman look for the celebrity rub from calling out The Rock. The Rock watched SmackDown, and as well he should. The Rock saw the enormous box office appeal of Roman Reigns. And The Rock wanted in on the Roman Reigns business. So The Rock went public begging for a WrestleMania main event with Roman Reigns.”

The Rock made a contradictory claim about Roman Reigns

Unless Dwayne Johnson makes a comment about this, there’s no saying if this is a genuine statement or not. If it is true, then it will be unlike the wrestler-turned-actor.

During one of his interviews, he had said that he is not trying to come back to the ring. The primary reason he did not want to do so is because he knows WWE will not make it a onetime thing.

Since he understands how the game works, he believes that Vince McMahon will make him lose at the first WrestleMania and then ask him to come back the next one to take the win. Considering he has never wanted to return to the ring in the recent past, it does not seem like he would beg for a piece of the action.

However, he has accepted that if there was anyone in the industry who can bring out the best in him within the ring, then it has to be his cousin, The Tribal Chief.

Regardless, if a match between The Big Dog and The Rock brews, the entire wrestling universe will go berserk.
