Will The Rock Return to WWE to Face Roman Reigns?

While there hasn’t been any matches officially announced for Wrestlemania in 2023, there is one match that has been heavily rumored for the past several years with the serious possibility of happening next year over the course of two nights beginning Saturday, April 1 and concluding on Sunday April 2 at the Sofi Stadium in Inglewood, California. The long awaited return of Dwayne ” The Rock” Johnson is likely to happen at the extravaganza and The Rock would have the goal of being the one to finally stop the path of destruction of his own cousin, WWE and Universal Champion, Roman Reigns.

After not being accepted as a main eventer for years by WWE fans, Roman has since become a megastar. Reigns was able to win the Universal Championship, go into Wrestlemania 38 with that title where he captured the WWE Championship from Brock Lesnar and hasn.t been pinned since Decemeber 15, 2019. This current run by The Tribal Chief is arguable the best story in wrestling currently and the most dominant wrestler in modern history. Much of this success can be attributed to Reigns taking on Paul Heyman as an Advocate or “Wise Man” and forming the faction “The Bloodline” with his cousins The Usos.

Is Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson Related to Roman Reigns?

Roman Reigns’ more famous cousin Dwayne Johnson parallels his cousins’ rough climb to becoming a megastar. Rejected by fans as the plucky newcomer Rocky Miavia, Johnson pivoted and developed The Rock into a character that the WWE fans loved in the 1990’s. Dwayne was able to parlay his success as a top act in WWE into a career as an actor in Hollywood. He has said in the past that he wanted a match with Roman Reigns and the two facing off at Wrestlemania might be the biggest attraction WWE could possibly offer.
