A possible match between The Rock and Reigns is something that fans have wanted to see for years. It’s also something the company has tried to make happen during that same time period.
Recent tease
The match was discussed for WrestleMania 38 in 2022 before it was decided the following year at WrestleMania 39 in LA would be better, and that match was delayed.
While making an appearance on ESPN’s First Take today, The Rock was asked about the match, noting he thinks there’s a chance it happens, and if it does, it would be the biggest WrestleMania of all time.
The latest
While speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer noted The Rock has not agreed to the match yet but is interested in doing it this year.
“As far as WrestleMania goes, he has not signed as of today; as far as I know. He was on First Take, and he certainly strongly hinted at it. It is absolutely in play. It is not a done deal. He wants to do WrestleMania this year. There are forces that are interested in how much value he could bring to Saudi Arabia. But he would rather do WrestleMania as it stands now. So it depends. I think there’s balls in play. Nothing is 100%. And there’s people who would like to convince him they can make tons of extra money from Saudi Arabia to do it. So we don’t know the answers, this is all in the process of being worked out right now. But he is absolutely looking doing the match with Roman Reigns. He’s absolutely looking at doing it at WrestleMania. It’s not signed.”
