WWE fans are always hoping to create buzz for their dream matches. Roman Reigns vs. The Rock is the most recent match on their minds. It has received so much attention that the WWE is considering addressing the feud between the two. The Brahma Bull and his family are watching wrestling on their television set in the most recent episode of Young Rock. A young Roman Reigns approaches the Rock and asks to wrestle him. The “Brahma Bull” responds by saying, “No, the world is not ready. A match that big can only happen in WrestleMania.”

This may not be the right time to book a match of this magnitude. Given Roman’s current dominance, it’s very clear what the outcome of a match between the two would be if they met today. Here’s a few reason why it is too early for the the Rock vs. Roman Reigns match.
1. Roman Reigns still has a few opponents left in the main roster
It seemed like the “The Tribal Chief” has beaten them all after his win over Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 38. But there are few more contenders who can give him a tough fight. Drew McIntyre has never face Roman Reigns for any championship match. This can be a good option for the WWE to set up this match as they belong to the same brand. The returning Cody Rhodes can also give Reigns a tough fight after settling in the roster following his return after 6 years.

2. Reigns needs to drop one championship
WWE has two brands both brands need a solo representative. Roman Reigns may not be champion for long. He has to lose at some point. But the logical step for WWE would be to let Reigns drop one championship belt to one of the Raw superstars. Holding two titles can only create problems for WWE since they are finding it hard to establish new main event stars.
Of all @WWE.
Over the entire Universe.

3. Roman Reigns and The Rock need to team up first
Roman Reigns has not only established himself as WWE’s signature main event star in recent years, but he has done so as the ultimate heel. With this in mind, the initial temptation would be for The Rock to return as the babyface, finally removing the villainous “Tribal Chief” from WWE after nearly two years. However, if WWE wants to tell a more layered story leading up to the ultimate showdown, why not bring back The Rock to assist Reigns and the Bloodline in defeating another heel faction?
This would lead the audience to believe that the “Tribal Chief” himself has turned face, leaving everyone speculating about the story’s next move. Of course, jealously and hatred will follow soon, culminating in a segment on SmackDown where Reigns swerves everyone by turning on The Rock during a Blood Line celebration.
4. The Rock cannot lose his first match back in WWE
The Rock is one of the biggest WWE superstars the company has ever produced. Fans would erupt when The Brahma Bull would make a small appearance on TV. With one of the biggest fan following, the Rock cannot afford to lose his first match back in WWE. He needs to build momentum for one of the biggest dream matches ever considering that Roman Reigns is at the top of the WWE mountain at the moment.
5. The Rock vs. Roman Reigns needs to get the ‘Rock vs. Cena’ treatment
The Rock and John Cena rivalry was well booked by thy WWE. The match leading to WrestleMania 28 took a whole year of entertaining story and segments that really made ‘Once in a Lifetime’ match worth watching. The same treatment must be given to the Rock vs Roman Reigns match. The story have a WrestleMania worthy build to get fans invested for this ultimate clash between blood relatives. If done right, this feud could go down as one of the best in WWE history.
It is difficult to predict what route WWE will take to make this match happen. WWE has been known for their hasty booking but this is one match that they cannot afford to screw up. It has money written all over it. We’ll have to wait and see what follows.
