WWE hyping up The Rock vs. Roman Reigns
Everybody wants to see the match between the two Samoan superstars. WWE and the fans want The Rock to return for one more match. Roman Reigns himself said he wants to face his cousin in an interview on the Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. A younger version of Tribal Chief appeared in an episode of NBC’s Young Rock. Roman was asking his cousin for a wrestling bout, but The Rock replied, “The world’s not ready. A match that big can only happen at WrestleMania.”

Will The Great One Return to face the Head of the Table?
Rock’s busy schedule makes it hard for him to get involved with WWE programming. Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer Newsletter has reported that WWE has planned The Rock vs. Roman Reigns match for WrestleMania 39. Next year’s ‘Mania will take place at SoFI Stadium in Los Angeles, California.
The last time these two Samoan stars met was during the closing moments of the 2015 Royal Rumble. The Rock came to his cousin’s aid to help him book a ticket to WrestleMania. But this time, it will be different should he decide to come back for one last match. What do you think about this match? Drop your comments below.
