Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson made a surprise return to WWE on Monday night’s ‘Day 1’ themed episode of RAW, confronting Jinder Mahal and teasing a potential match with his cousin, Roman Reigns.
On a recent edition of the “Busted Open Radio” podcast, Bully Ray predicted that WWE could potentially book the long-awaited Reigns vs. Rock dream match at Elimination Chamber: Perth in Australia next month.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On why he thinks Rock will wrestle Roman Reigns in Australia: “One of the things that we’re not taking into account, and this I got smarted up about on social media. Australia to Samoa is a hop, skip, and a jump. There is a huge Samoan community within Australia.”
On the Australian tourism board wanting Rock at Elimination Chamber: “This almost kind of feels like a Saudi thing where they’re willing to step up to get The Rock to come over.”
On another potential scenario that would still have The Rock at WrestleMania 40: “Does that mean The Rock doesn’t appear at WrestleMania? No. Because you have to screw The Rock over for Roman to go over at The Elimination Chamber, and Roman has been winning his matches by outside interference and cheating.”
WWE Elimination Chamber: Perth is scheduled for Saturday, February 24 at Optus Stadium in Perth, Australia, while WrestleMania 40 takes place on April 6-7 at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

The Rock confronted Jinder Mahal and hinted at a potential match with his cousin, Roman Reigns. This dream match has been long-awaited by fans, and there is speculation that it could happen at WWE Elimination Chamber: Perth in Australia next month.
Bully Ray, a former professional wrestler and current wrestling analyst, discussed this possibility on the “Busted Open Radio” podcast. He pointed out that Australia has a significant Samoan community, which is relevant because both The Rock and Roman Reigns have Samoan heritage. Ray suggested that the Australian tourism board might be interested in bringing The Rock to the event, similar to how Saudi Arabia has hosted high-profile WWE shows in the past.
Ray also presented another scenario where The Rock could still appear at WrestleMania 40. He proposed that Roman Reigns could win at Elimination Chamber with outside interference or cheating, thus “screwing over” The Rock. This would set up a storyline for a match between the two at WrestleMania.
