Wrestling veteran says The Rock should buy or partner with WWE and feud with Roman Reigns (Exclusive)
Wrestling veteran Bill Apter believes that The Rock will never be too big for WWE and that he should return for a feud with his cousin Roman Reigns.
Rumors about backstage plans to bring back The Rock to challenge Roman Reigns have been doing rounds since the latter started calling himself "The Head of the Table." Many believe the two superstars will square off for the right to be hailed as the "Tribal Chief."
Veteran journalist Bill Apter was recently asked on Sportskeeda Wrestling's WrestleBinge if The Rock is now too big for WWE. Apter argued that it doesn't matter how big The Rock gets, he will always love the business and should engage in a feud with Roman Reigns. He even suggested that The Great One could buy WWE or enter into a partnership with the company because he has the right mentality to run the business.
"It doesn't matter how big he gets, The Rock is a billboard name, and I would love to see him against Roman Reigns. I know his heart would be in it. When they were talking a few weeks ago about people buying with the company, or partnering with someone. I think The Rock's company Seven Bucks Productions would have been perfect t be partners. Because he has got the mentality, he has got the love for it, that's where he should have gone," said Apter. [35:05 - 35:30]
