During a recent interview with CNBC following his appointment as a Director on the Board of the TKO Group, The Rock teased a potential match against the leader of The Bloodline.

Vince Russo believes Roman Reigns can lose the title at Royal Rumble and face The Rock at WrestleMania 40
Roman Reigns is scheduled to defend his Undisputed WWE Universal Championship in a Fatal Four-Way Match against Randy Orton, AJ Styles, and LA Knight at Royal Rumble.
Speaking on Sportskeeda's Writing with Russo, Vince Russo stated that The Tribal Chief could lose his title at Royal Rumble and go on to face The Rock at The Show of Shows without the championship being involved. The former WWE writer also picked Randy Orton to become the new champion:
"However, this Fatal Four-Way is a great opportunity to get the belt off of Reigns without him ever losing. He never lost, I mean it's a perfect opportunity. Nobody beat him to end the freaking streak. So now bro you can go forward where you can still have your Roman-Rock match without a title being on the line. That really makes it a lot less predictable. And you can have a championship match with Randy Orton."
Considering the talents involved, the match for the title at the upcoming premium live event promises to be a highly entertaining one. With the champion looking to extend his record-breaking title reign, it will be interesting to see which superstar leaves the arena with the championship on January 27.
