The Rock & Roman Reigns vs. Cody Rhodes & Seth Rollins headlined night 1 of WWE WrestleMania XL last year. The heels went over before the following night when Rhodes beat Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Championship.
While The Rock is not currently planned for WrestleMania 41 this April, he could always change his mind, and WWE is prepared to pivot with its plans in case he wants to wrestle this year. While appearing on Maggie & Perloff, Rollins spoke about The Rock and his belief that Rock will wrestle again.
Rollins said, “You get in there one time, and you might think you can do a full schedule, but I don’t know if it’s as easy as it looks. You get in there, you do one, and you go, ‘Okay, I can do this.’ He’s smart enough to know his days of doing it full-time has come and gone. Do I think he can get in there and do one more or a couple more? Absolutely. He was in prime condition and ready to go. He was a game opponent. For a guy that hasn’t done it in ten years, that’s really hard. It is like riding a bike, but it’s not one time. You need to get in there and get your reps in to get your mind where it’s at. He was an incredible performer that night. He was able to slip back into it. It was an honor for me to be in the ring with him. That’s a guy who is a Hall of Famer and a legend in our business. He’s on the Board of Directors now as well, so he’s continued to help that side of the business. It was a fun ride getting in there and to be able to stomp the crap out of The Rock.”
