The Rock Says There’s ‘A Chance’ He Wrestles Roman Reigns in ‘Biggest WrestleMania Match of All-Time’
The Rock continues to add fuel to the fire of a potential showdown with Roman Reigns.
Rewind to WWE’s first show of 2024, at the special ‘Day 1’ edition of ‘Monday Night RAW,’ Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson made a surprise appearance when ‘The People’s Champion,’ confronted former WWE Champion, Jinder Mahal.
Following his disposal of ‘The Modern Day Maharaja,’ The Rock tossed a not-so-subtle hint in the direction of Undisputed WWE Universal Champion, Roman Reigns. Rock said when scouring restaurants in the area, he’d like to sit at the head of the table, which garnered massive headlines and drew quite the reaction to the fans in the crowd.
Earlier today, the future WWE Hall of Famer was named as the TKO Group’s newest member of the Board of Directors. The Rock made an appearance on ESPN’s First Take, where he promoted his latest title as board member of TKO, but also addressed the elephant in the room…will we ever finally find out who’s the true ‘Tribal Chief?’
“I’m a long gamer. I like to build. Something like this, what this is. If, myself and Roman Reigns, were to main event WrestleMania, and I mean this very respectfully of all the WrestleManias prior because I grew up in this business and I love it. We could possibly put on, with us as the main event and this incredible group of men and women, we could possibly put on the greatest and biggest WrestleMania of all time,”

While dubbing it the biggest WrestleMania match of all-time, The Rock didn’t shy away from the potential showdown, admitting that there’s at the very least ‘a chance’ of the massive match taking place.
“There’s a chance. I love this business. I love pro wrestling. I love WWE. I also have this deep passion to grow it and build it. If we’re going to do something like this, I want the world to watch.”

The Rock’s appointment to the TKO Group’s Board of Directors comes just hours after WWE announced that ‘Monday Night RAW’ will be heading to Netflix beginning in January 2025.
