The Rock comments on potential Roman Reigns WWE WrestleMania match
During a press tour to promote the release of his “Black Adam” film, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson commented on potentially facing Roman Reigns at WrestleMania.
Johnson spoke to E!’s The Rundown on the press tour. When asked who the Head of the Table is, Johnson said it’s him.
“Who is [the] Head of the Table? Without saying any names, you’re looking into his eyes right now,” Johnson said.
Johnson was asked if that means he’s confirming he’ll challenge Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship at WrestleMania 39 next April.
“I am not confirming that at all. No. No, I am not [laughs],” Johnson responded. “Though I’m gonna get a text from him after he watches this.”
Johnson said he loves the idea of being part of a WrestleMania, but there are so many other variables that have to come into play.
“I love the idea of a WrestleMania. And I’m close to a lot of people there, but very close to one in particular, who we’ve talked about this. So, I like it. There’s just so many other variables that have to come into play,” Johnson said.
“But I’m a fan, because I’m a promoter at heart too, so I’m a fan of promoting an event and what could that be. So I love WrestleMania, and I love that world.”
Reigns also spoke about potentially facing Johnson at WrestleMania when he appeared on the Impaulsive podcast last month.
“They keep trying. Everybody keeps trying on this one,” Reigns said. “I don’t book the show, bro. I’m up for anybody.
“If it works out, then I’m ready.”
A WrestleMania matchup between Reigns and Johnson has long been rumored, including being teased on an episode of Johnson’s “Young Rock” television show.
