The Brahma Bull was rumored to battle Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship at WWE WrestleMania 39 in Los Angeles but the match never came to fruition. Even though his television show was just canceled, things aren't looking too bad for The Great One as it was recently announced that he will be returning to the popular Fast & Furious movie franchise.
