Backstage News On The Rock’s Relationship With WWE After Turning Down WrestleMania Match

The Rock won’t be wrestling at WWE WrestleMania 39 in a match against Roman Reigns, as WWE had once hoped to have happened.

The Rock reportedly told the company that he didn’t feel he had enough time to get into ring shape. WWE shifted its plans to Cody Rhodes challenging Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Title at WrestleMania.

While speaking to Louis Dangoor of GiveMeSport.com, Twitter account @WrestleVotes commented on The Rock’s relationship with WWE after turning down the match:

“Is there animosity towards The Rock? I would imagine not. Like with Stone Cold Steve Austin, that door is always open. Maybe he said let’s do it next year? When those guys say yes, WWE is going to say okay.”

“I don’t know how official the match ever was. There were obviously talks, but I don’t believe any point in Triple H’s tenure that the match was set in stone. How do you plan for something that you don’t think it’s gonna happen? The internet thought it was going to happen, but it was never really alluded to on TV. They were never sold the match was going to happen.”
