Fans are still wondering whether WWE can manage to book The Rock vs. Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 40.
In September, The Rock revealed on “The Pat McAfee Show” that the match was set for WrestleMania 39. He had a handshake deal after a meeting with WWE in LA. However, they couldn’t come up with the exact idea they wanted, so they put the talks on hold. The Rock now says he’s willing to face Reigns at WrestleMania 40 in Philadelphia, PA next year.
In the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer reported that WWE internally believes that they would not turn down The Rock’s request for the match, but it’s not scheduled.
Meltzer wrote, “Regarding the stories that WWE won’t do Rock vs. Reigns at Mania if Rock wants to do it, what we were told is this. If he wants the spot I can’t believe WWE would turn him down but after Johnson turned it down last year, nobody is going with the idea he’s going to do it this year. The match is not scheduled, unlike at this time last year when the match was considered a good shot. The belief is that Johnson will have plenty of work once the strikes are over he’ll have plenty to do. What we were told is that Rock is not going to come back and win the title. I’d never anticipate that would be an issue as if the match was to happen, I always figured Reigns to win and Rock then retiring in the ring.”
