“If You Smell..I Gotta Save It”: Hours Before Roman Reigns’ WrestleMania Match, Dwayne Johnson Teases WWE Return in a Viral Gym Video

Ahead of the first night of WrestleMania, Dwayne Johnson shared a message on Twitter for the WWE Universe and the performers while dropping a massive tease about showing up to “see” Roman Reigns soon.

The Rock himself lit up the WrestleMania stage on several occasions and knows what the event means for WWE and its fans. Thus just before ‘The Show of Shows’, The Brahma Bull had inspirational words for all the performers but also subtly hinted at an appearance at the event, which will surely get the fans talking and create even more buzz around the main event match of Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns.

Dwayne Johnson says he may “see” The Bloodline in person down the road

After the first night of WrestleMania 39, all the focus will be on Night Two and especially the main event clash between Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes. The fans are already eagerly waiting for the match with a wonderful story being told over the last few weeks. But now The Rock’s tease ahead of the marquee match may have notched up the excitement among the fans.

DJ was heavily rumored to wrestle his cousin, ‘The Head of the Table’ in a generational match at the apt setting of Hollywood, California. But ‘The Great One’ was reported to be not in the right physical shape or conditioning for a match of such magnitude.

While talking about the main event of WrestleMania 39 Night Two, The Rock said “I gotta tell you I am so excited for not only all the matches but especially the main event with my cousin Roman Reigns, the universal champion and to my family, my ohana, the entire Bloodline, Jey, Jimmy, Solo so proud of you guys. Kick a**. Electrify SoFi stadium. Do what you do. It is in our blood.”

Then he dropped a bombshell that will surely generate a lot of buzz. The Rock continued, “And Who knows maybe just maybe down the road I will see you in person. I will leave it at just that.” 

Not only this but toward the end of the video, he went for his signature, ‘If you smell what The Rock is cooking’ schtick, but stopped midway before mentioning, “You know I gotta save it. I gotta save it. I will save it for down the road,” with a smile on his face. The Rock taking the time to talk about WrestleMania and specifically mentioning Reigns and seeing him down the road will get more people excited ahead of the second night of ‘Mania.

Moreover, this video was shot in a gym, which could mean The Rock is keeping fit for a showdown even briefly with his cousin on ‘The Grandest Stage of Them All’. Such hints are sure not to go unnoticed among the keen WWE fanbase, who have been hoping to see The Rock return to confront Roman Reigns for some time. But since DJ also mentioned seeing them “down the road”, it is also possible he may not show up at WrestleMania 39, but maybe in the next few months.

Nick Khan promised surprises for WrestleMania

What adds to the tease from the former WWE Champion ahead of WrestleMania 39 Night Two, is that WWE CEO Nick Khan promised something big in store for the fans a few days ago.

In an interview with ESPN’s First Take, Khan said, “Expect a bunch of surprises. That’s what we’re known for, this is WrestleMania, we pulled some out at Royal Rumble. Here at SoFi Stadium, Los Angeles, two-night event, we have to make it big.”

The WWE fans must be feeling giddy if they can connect the dots here, Not to mention that The Rock and Nick Khan have been lifelong friends they may have been working behind the scenes for a possible spectacular return of ‘The People’s Champion’ at WrestleMania 39
