The WWE universe might have to wait a little longer for their dream match as Dwayne Johnson might not be part of WrestleMania 39. WWE fans were expecting the match between Roman Reigns and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. However, the possibility of it seems quite low as Dwayne hasn’t yet agreed to his WrestleMania booking. According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, The Rock might not be able to attend WrestleMania this year. He is pretty busy with his Hollywood schedule already and it might act as an obstacle between him and WWE’s dream match. WWE fans started to think about the clash between the blood-relatives Roman Reigns and Dwayne Johnson since the day Reigns called out Dwayne in a WWE live event. WWE creatives also loved the idea of Brother vs Brother. If it happens, then it will surely become one of the best matches in the history of WWE.
According to the report, Dwayne Johnson is feeling like he is not in the right shape for a WrestleMania match. However, WWE fans don’t seem to agree with this. They are coming forward to share their views via tweets.

Another reason why Dwayne Johnson can’t attend WrestleMania
Other than this, it is also reported that Dwayne Johnson will be involved in launching XFL along with some other projects as well. Hence, it will be nearly impossible for him to compete in WrestleMania main event.

“We were told that unless he changes his mind in the next few days, since a deadline for Mania plans is coming, that he’s indicated he won’t have time to get into the kind of shape he feels he needs to be in to do a main event match with Roman Reigns, but kept the door open for something in the future. Of course, it is a possibility that it’s something being kept a secret from everyone.
WWE has always had a backup direction this year given they were aware Johnson was not a sure thing for some time, and as time went on and he didn’t agree, felt the likelihood had lessened. I don’t know that he’s officially turned it down, but the only indication is that it was considered less likely than a few months ago.
Johnson right now has different projects going on, most importantly the launching of the XFL which debuts the weekend of 2/18 and he will be very heavily involved with the promotion of the league. He had said he would need to have training time to be able to get in ring shape. So his decision comes down to his belief of having adequate time to prepare.”
