WWE is still months away from WrestleMania 39, but with the company looking to finalize the main event plans for the show by mid-January, fans are wondering whether they’ve been set yet.
As previously reported, WWE is hoping to bring back The Rock, Steve Austin, and John Cena for the show with the idea of doing The Rock vs. Roman Reigns as the main event of either night in April.
WWE is bringing back Cena for the December 30 edition of SmackDown, where he will team up with Kevin Owens against Roman Reigns and Sami Zayn for a tag match.
While speaking on today’s Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer noted that he was last told that Cena is probable for the event and The Rock is still possible.
Meltzer brought up how Rock vs. Reigns has been the dream match for WWE for years at WrestleMania 39, but the possibility of the match comes down to whether he is free as he will be busy with his Hollywood schedule and XFL commitments.
“Am I saying he’s not going to do it? No, I’m not saying that at all. And if he’s doing it, wow, you have him, Austin, and Cena all on the same show – or the same weekend because they’ll split them up, obviously. Like, Cena’s not 100% either, by the way, but he’s got a movie in February and March, so he’s not going to be able to do a lot of TVs. I don’t know…he will do the show if he’s available, but it’s the same thing. He may have other things going on. I was told… I guess the best way to put it is Cena is a ‘probable’, and Dwayne is a ‘possible’ maybe a probable, I don’t know, but neither is a sure thing.”
