The Rock’s return on WWE Raw last week and the comments at the end of his promo seem to confirm that Rock vs. Roman Reigns is finally happening. The question is, if the match is happening at WrestleMania, will Cody Rhodes finish his story this year or will his match with Reigns be delayed until next year?
If it ends up being Roman Reigns vs. The Rock and Roman wins then it puts Roman on track to beat Hulk Hogan’s first title reign. Reigns has been the Undisputed Universal Champion for over 1125 days and it’s the longest title rei1gn since 1988. However, if WWE wants him to beat Hogan’s 1,474 days as champion then Roman would have to hold onto the title until September.
On the latest “Kliq This” podcast, Kevin Nash talked about the top spots available for WrestleMania 40. Nash said, “The bottom line is, I mean there’s four spots. I don’t see them taking the belt off Seth and I don’t see them taking the belt off of Roman. Don’t you think they want Roman to pass the Hogan streak? I mean, there’s no upside in having Dwayne go over. I think Dwayne would do the job much like Hogan did for Dwayne in Toronto.”
Also on the latest “Kliq This” podcast, Nash was asked to give his Mount Rushmore of managers. He listed some names that are on most people’s Mt. Rushmore and one name that younger fans may not be as familiar with (Freddie Blassie).
“I’m going to go with Heenan, Corny, Heyman, Blassie,” Nash said.
